    I spend waaay too much money on books related to Bible content. The problem is just one theology book alone can be over $50. I guess I justify it by rarely eating out or having any expensive hobbies. 🤷 That said I frequent my local Christian thrift store weekly and have found some real treasures for dirt cheap.

      @@ChrisGSTL Great question, I’m actually working on a script/research for a video right now that I hope to release next month that will talk through the various published collections of Spurgeon’s sermons, how then compare, and how to get access to all of them. To answer your question, no. The Hendrickson Five Hardback green set (which contains 10 volumes in 5 books, two volumes per book) has 250 of Spurgeon’s finest sermons with a subject & biblical text index. Super helpful, but not all of Spurgeon’s sermons. The RHB Green ones in this video are the first 6 volumes of the exhaustive 63 volume set that has a total sermon count of 3,563 Spurgeon sermons when you have all 63 volumes. So, is the Hendrickson set a good sample of Spurgeon’s preaching, yes. But 250 is not the exhaustive 3,563. Nor is this first installment from RHB the full 3,563 (but actually only the first 347 sermons in 6 volumes). Hope that helps you make a decision.

    Any thoughts about the NASB 2020? 🤔 My thoughts so far, which I'm still processing and might change as I continue to read the NASB 2020: 1. Of course, JMac didn't like the NASB 2020 for various reasons (e.g. using "brothers and sisters" instead of "brethren"). Hence JMac and TMC did the LSB. And I think it's probably true that the LSB is the NASB95 "perfected" as James White said. But what if someone likes the NASB 2020? 2. I have been going through the NASB 2020. In my view, I don't think it's a feminist translation at all. Its use of phrases like "brothers and sisters" and "person" and so on seems to me to be very conservative. I think the "feminist agenda" stuff is overblown. 3. Importantly, I find the NASB 2020 to be extremely readable, by which I mean clear and natural sounding. If someone asks what's your name and I say "I am the one whom people call John" it is clear in that most native English speakers understand what I mean. But it is not natural because that's not how most native English speakers normally talk. It'd be clear and natural to simply say "My name is John". I think the NASB 2020 reads a lot more smoothly than the NASB95 as well as the LSB eithh regard to clarity and naturalness. In fact I think the NASB 2020 reads almost as smoothly as, say, the CSB and the NIV, both of which are known to read very smoothly. 4. In a sense, the NASB 2020 seems to be a more "literal" (formally equivalent) version of the CSB or the NIV (and the CSB seems more literal than the NIV). 5. Just my preliminary thoughts for now. But I'm still reading the NASB 2020. Just wondering if you had any thoughts on the NASB 2020? 😊

    Please remember: Jesus sang the psalms! If your church does't consciously sing the psalms, ask your pastor why your church doesn't sing the songs comforted and guided Jesus and that he used to sing the praises of his heavenly Father. There's a long tradition of translating the psalms into rhyming poetry like hymns and then singing them to hymn tunes. Here's some resources for singing Psalms to hymn tunes. The "KJV" of psalters is the 1650 Scottish Psalter, however there are a number of modern language psalters. Crown and Covenant have published "The Book of Psalms for Worship" for the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America. The Free Church of Scotland have produced "Sing Psalm" and the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland have published "The Psalms for Singing, a 21st Century Version." We're not a Psalms Only church but we regularly sing psalms as part of our "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs." (See Eph 5:19 & Col 3:16). Does your church?

    Looks like it'll be a great video! Can't wait! 😊 Currently my favorite commentary on the Psalms is the great Alec Motyer's little known commentary in the New Bible Commentary. There's so much helpful information, wisdom and insight, and pastoral edification in that little commentary. For example, David Gibson has written (I believe) the single best exposition on Psalm 23 titled The Lord of Psalm 23, and in this book Gibson openly acknowledges his indebtedness to Motyer and Gibson states he used Motyer's framework or structure for Psalm 23.

    Observation: pretty books, but unboxing videos are not helpful unless there is content about the books themselves. Suggestion: don’t do unboxing, but quick , concise review of the books. Some things that would help-observations on margins and page weight for note taking. How well the book sits in the hand (some are very unwieldy). How are the chapters laid out? Footnote-are they valuable? How does this compare with other whole Psalter commentaries? How about sub-group commentaries? How much does it cost? Is this part of a larger project or series? And, if possible, in a chart that could be linked to on a website so I could download. My reason? I have too many books but want valuable resources. If this is one, and I think it might be, I need significant help making that decision before I devote a quarter of a shelf to a commentary. Thank you! Would love to hear back 😊

God has made this YHWSH whom you crucified both YHWH & Messiah. Philippians 2:10-11 - every knee shall bow & every tongue confess that YHWSH is YHWH. There is only one God, his name is YHWH YHWSH, he came to earth to save his people from their sin. He did not need to send another. Isaiah 59:16 - His own arm (Hebrew idiom for power) would bring salvation to Himself. The name matters; Acts 4:12 KJV - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    I like Eric Metaxas. 😊 He has done a lot of good for Christians in general and for American Christians in particular. He has a popular show that's interesting to listen to because he often invites interesting guests. He is indeed a great writer, and no wonder since he was an English literature major from Yale University as I recall. My personal favorite thing from Metaxas is his Socrates in the City forum because he usually does hilarious introductions for his guests and more importantly his guests are usually world class intellectuals. Such as Stephen Meyer, John Lennox, Os Guinness, etc. Metaxas is largely a popularizer, not an intellectual heavyweight himself, but he really does a wonderful job at helping get out the ideas of intellectual heavyweights.

After qualifying that translation is difficult work that shouldn't be underappreciated and that he hasn't spent extensive time with the LSB, Duguid writes: I think some of their [LSB translators'] most trumpeted distinctions are fundamentally wrong-headed. Take the use of Yahweh throughout for the divine name. I get the attractiveness of that, and in some contexts it really pops as a translation. Think "I am Yahweh" or "Yahweh said to my lord" (Ps 110:1). In other places, however, it messes with people's favorite translations, for example: "Yahweh is my shepherd". That's why the HCSB went with Yahweh in some places and "the LORD" elsewhere - but that leaves you with some really strange alternations between the two, which is why the CSB ditched Yahweh completely. More importantly, it drives a wedge between the testaments, since the NT quotation of an OT passage often doesn't match. Even more importantly, the average reader won't now see that the NT is calling Jesus the same title as the OT calls Yahweh, "the Lord". If it is good enough for Jesus to use kurios when translating Yahweh, I can't think why "the LORD" isn't good enough for us. The same problem exists for the much-trumpeted doulos = slave in all contexts translation. There are some places where doulos certainly ought to be translated slave. But there are plenty of other places where "servant" is a more apt rendition into English of the person's role. The result is a flattening of the Biblical text that results in a loss of nuance. It also - once again - threatens to put a rift between the OT and the NT; for example, according to this understanding Zech 3:8 ought to speak of "my slave, the Branch" (since LXX has doulos); fortunately, the translation goes for a more sensible (and traditional) "my servant, the Branch"). Very few words in one language always translate into a single word in another language: that's just not how languages work; so for example, ruach should be rendered breath, Spirit and wind, sometimes all within a short space (e.g. Ezek. 37:1-14). That's why nobody (except perhaps Youngs literal translation, which completely misrepresents the meaning of Ezekiel 37 because of its overly literal translation) adopts a consistently literal translation policy. Everyone (including the LSB) uses a more dynamic translation sometimes.

    Great Review! Found your channel looking for a Wellum Systematic Theology review. Keep doing these kind of videos! And if I may recommend another book I've discovered recently on marriage. It is from Doug Goodin - God's design for Marriage. Doug is New Covenant Theology, so his approach is a bit unique in some areas.

    I know this is an old video but it is worth correcting that William Tyndale did not translate the New Testament into English from Latin. He translated from the original Greek. Using Erasmus’ 1522 revision of his New Testament( later nicknamed the Textus Receptus). This is important because there are actually people who believe and spread the misinformation that our modern Bible is a result of being filtered through different languages. It is not. It is translated from the original languages, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic that the Bible was written in. Wycliffes English translation, however, which was the first English translation of the New Testament, was translated from the Latin Vulgate . None of our modern translations are based off of Wycliffes English translation.

    What would you recommend for a deeper dive into Totally Depravity? I have been questioning if Total Depravity = Total Inability. And where that fits with everyone’s ability to recognize what is good and evil.

    Hey buddy - can you use some constructive criticism? - you are way too close to the camera - I couldn't even watch the video because you are too "in the face" of the camera, back off a little to allow some space - and you will be more watchable
