I’ve published these three blog posts on The Gospel Coalition in the last three days:

1. Carson on 1 Peter 2:9-10. A PDF of Carson’s chapter in a book that just came out this month.
2. Carson’s Sermon on God at Next. An MP3 of a sermon Carson preached on May 30.
3. Why Can’t We Just Read the Bible? A PDF of an interview with Michael Horton on hermeneutics and theological method.

I mentioned this book a few months ago:

D. A. Carson. Collected Writings on Scripture. Wheaton: Crossway, coming July 31, 2010.

Now the endorsements are in:

“This book is a road map of pathways to pursue and pitfalls to avoid in handling Scripture. D. A. Carson would be the first to agree that God himself upholds his written word, the Bible. But God uses means. In recent decades, Carson’s voice has been among the most forthright, consistent, rigorous, faithful, and compelling in serving the vital divine end of testifying to Scripture’s veracity. This book guides readers to the priceless destination of confidence in God’s Word through refutation of its critics and commendation of its truth.”
—Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, New Testament Department Chair, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (more…)

Coming this July:

D. A. Carson. The God Who Is There: Finding Your Place in God’s Story. Grand Rapids: Baker, 2010.

• See Carson’s brief introduction to the series.
• The corresponding audio and video should be available later this year.
• This resource will serve the church well because it simultaneously evangelizes non-Christians and edifies Christians by explaining the Bible’s storyline.

Update on July 29, 2010: Audio and video are available.

In The Trials of Theology: Becoming a “Proven Worker” in a Dangerous Business (ed. Andrew J. B. Cameron and Brian S. Rosner; Fearn, Scotland: Christian Focus, 2010), D. A. Carson contributes a chapter entitled “The Trials of Biblical Studies” (pp. 109–29).

• See my summary of Carson’s chapter on the TGC blog.
• TGC is hosting a PDF of Carson’s chapter.
• WTS Books includes a PDF with the book’s foreword.

Many thanks to Matthew Hoskinson for serving us by preparing a two-page subject index to this book:
