Excellent list!
I like "The Hobbit", which is a very charming book, but I love "The Lord of the Rings", which is a masterpiece.
To be honest, I didn't care much for the trilogy when I first read it in my twenties (in a translated edition), but 15 years later, after my conversion, I went back to "The Lord of the Rings" (in the original) and it blew me away. I fell in love with it. The story is great and there's something very special about the way Tolkien composes his sentences, they flow like music. The atmosphere of TLOTR is just incredible. One of my all time favorites.
Same! I never read them until the hype for the movies started. It wasn't until midway through The Return of the King that the language/style fully clicked for me. Once it did, I was enthralled for life.
Loved R.C. Sproul. His book "Chosen By God" convinced me of the truth of election.
I've listened to countless messages by RC. (Especially more recently.) But I don't think I've ever read his books. I'll have to dig through my shelves and see if I even have one of them. How odd!
Thanks for the great book recommendations.
Love the list! Looking foward the top 10.
I love these videos thank you for sharing great books with us
Sproul is so accessible!!
Anyone else watching to find more books to buy? Pastor Matt pray for me. Also JC Ryle’s holiness is better than RC’s.
Both are deserved classics, but quite different. Ryle's Holiness is focused on our sanctification in a practical theological context, whereas Sproul's The Holiness of God is focused on who God is and what his attribute of holiness entails in a systematic theological context aka theology proper aka the doctrine of God.
Nice! I love Francis Turretin’s Elenctic Theology. You could almost read it as part of devotional reading. Very experiential theology, my opinion anyway 😊
Same here! 😊 Apparently we both belong to this CS Lewis club: For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await others. I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.
So, nobody's gonna explain what the heck "elentic" means? I'm 50+, consider myself fairly intelligent, and I have never heard this term. Clearly, I'm an ignoramus. ;)
@@Yesica1993 it means practical. So it is a practical systematic theology. It’s very experiential Turetin is very practical in his writing of his theology here. That is why I said it reads like a devotional.
Anyone have interpretation/hermeneutical book suggestions? I have 7 on a list:
1•Introduction to biblical interpretation - Klein etc.
2•Biblical hermeneutics - Milton Terry
3•Living by the book - Hendricks
4•How to read the Bible like a seminary professor - Yarbrough
5•The hermeneutics of the biblical writers
6•Invitation to biblical interpretation - Andreas
7•Exegetical fallacies - Carson
Let me know what you guys would suggest.
Interesting
An excommunicated Catholic Priest friend, a regular at the local coffeehouse back in the day when educated men used to show up in public, would bring great newly published books to read before some young whipersnapper would engage him in conversation.
I learned so much those years! I would try to read the books he was reading so that I was more informed before opening myself to the Light of Truth.
This past week I have had at least 10 posts censored on YT. 😊
It's honestly so hard these days to find other people who love to read. Not just the Bible, but at all. I wish Pastor Matt would address that issue. I think it's an important one, especially for the younger generations. Everyone is glued to a screen these days. The kids growing up this way don't know anything else. These kids are growing up with TikTok length attention spans. That's normal to them. They don't even have the capacity to concentrate long enough to read books. I find that horrifying. I think it's a huge problem for both the culture and the church.
@@Yesica1993 I mentioned to the "human" attendees at the checkout of a national store chain this very thing about screens. I go through the "manned" checkout because I like to engage with "faces" rather than screens. I love people. That must be my Christian side of my brain! 😎
They agreed--- "too many screens; too few real faces."
That is really interesting. I'm an introvert, so I love self checkout. Plus, it's usually faster when I have just a few things. But I hadn't thought of it from the perspective of the screens. @@carefulcarpenter
@@Yesica1993 I am an INFP. You must be an INFJ. ☺
I avoid AI-driven technology as much as possible. That is because I live and work in Silicon Valley, and I well-understand the evolution of technology and its mindset.
On the other side of the "Hill" are the more creative thinkers. ☺ Nature over Technology. Art brush over stylus. Paper over screens.
I had to go back & take one of those tests. You're somehow right! @@carefulcarpenter
Thank you for reminding me about, "A History of Western Theology & Philosophy." It's sitting on my kitchen table right now. (Along with a pile of other books.) I'd gotten a few pages in, but, as always, I felt guilty and didn't continue. If you ever feel like doing a video on that, that would be cool. Although... I'm probably the only weirdo on the planet who has this problem. The only time I don't feel guilty when reading (yes, that includes Scripture) is if I'm on the train or in the laundromat waiting for machines to finish. In those situations, there's really nothing else "productive" that I could do. So it's okay to read. But any time I am home, I always feel that horrible guilt of, "You should be doing something USEFUL, not wasting time with your nose in a book." It doesn't matter that my work is done, the house has been cleaned (again) and all other family responsibilities have been tended to. I sit down to read and a few minutes in, I realize I forgot a cup in the sink. Or something else in the house could be cleaned yet again. I mean, can the bathroom ever be "too clean"? I think not. I've even gone so far as getting on the train and going to a coffee shop for the main purpose of reading. I don't think I've ever made it even close to an hour. Sometimes I've made the trip, paid the $ for a drink, found a seat, opened the book... and stopped after a couple of pages. I turn around and go home. I wish Jesus was physically present so I could hear His voice telling me that if I've done all my other responsibilities, it's okay to read good books!
Reading that one in the mornings these days.
Excellent! @@BiblicalStudiesandReviews
Speaking of Bonhoeffer, his little book Life Together is one I return to regularly.
I loved that Bonhoeffer book! One of the few times in my life I was actually tempted to keep a library book. (Don't worry, I did not. But I was tempted.)
Great list of books this far my friend! Love that you did this.
It's fine to disagree, but some people here seem to be getting heated over some of Matthew Everhard's picks (e.g. The Hobbit)! But like anyone and everyone else, Matthew Everhard is entitled to his opinions. No need to get so hot and bothered by his opinions. Top 100 lists are often subjective. Nothing wrong wth that. It's not like he's making a list of which books of the Bible are inspired and which are not and condemning anyone as a heretic if they don't agree with him. If that were the case, then we'd have something to get heated about! 😊
I agree with the Hobbit brother!!
Are you going to be having a sale for the books you aren’t going to keep?
RC Sproul 'Everyone's a Theologian' is a top choice.
God bless you, brother.
NOOOOOO, The Hobbit is a children’s book, it isn’t even in the conversation compared to Lord of the Rings, you failed greatly here.
Haha! I was gonna say...
I mean, even if it's true that The Hobbit is a children's book, here's something CS Lewis said about children's books: "No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty."
I do love that quote. @@philtheo
Hey🌹@@Yesica1993
LOL Matt needs to stop doing the troll videos -- I think a few of you guys are competing to be featured in the next one!
