Top books from my library for the year 2007. These books were chosen for their Reformed persuasion and understanding.
1. Johnson, Dennis E. Him We Proclaim.
“Challenging modern preachers to expound the Bible like Peter and Paul. Him we proclaim makes the hermeneutical and historical case for a return to apostolic preaching–preaching that is Christ-centered, redemptive-historical, missiologically communicated, and grounded in grace.” (Back cover)
2. Doriani, Daniel M. James (Reformed Expository Commentary).
“The book of James is both beloved for its practical wisdom and debated as to its relationship to Paul’s gospel…. Daniel Doriani, a pastor and scholar recognized for his works on biblical interpretation and application, resolves the tension between the wide-ranging practical commands of James and the centrality of faith in the Christian life.” (Book jacket)
