Update: The Gospel Coalition is now hosting a comprehensive collection of DAC MP3s. Consequently, I won’t be updating this list.

I have profited immensely from MP3s by Dr. D. A. Carson. His manner of speaking is just as articulate, thoughtful, and engaging as his published books and articles. He exalts Christ by exegeting His words, tracing themes through the Bible’s salvation-historical story-line, systematically addressing hot topics, and engaging and confronting bad theology as well as the culture. What follows is a list of some of his MP3s arranged somewhat topically.
