When The Gospel Coalition Council Members met last May, they individually answered on video about 130 frequently asked questions. Now each individual video can be embedded onto a blog. Check it out.
Harold Netland on Religious Pluralism
The fifth CCI esssay is now available: Harold A. Netland, “One Lord and Savior for All? Jesus Christ and Religious Diversity.” Netland, who studied under John Hick, authored Encountering Religious Pluralism: The Challenge to Christian Faith and Mission (Downers Grove: IVP, 2001).
Here’s an outline of his 37-page essay: [Read more…] about Harold Netland on Religious Pluralism
Doug Moo on Colossians and Philemon
Doug Moo‘s The Letters to the Colossians and to Philemon is hot off the press, and I enjoyed spending some time surveying it this morning. It’s another outstanding addition to the Pillar NT Commentary series. (See my review of the PNTC series, which also notes the authors slated for the forthcoming volumes.)
From D. A. Carson’s “Editor’s Preface”
For many years Doug Moo and I served on the same faculty. His move from Trinity to Wheaton, however much a gain for the latter, was a personal loss. Mercifully, we have continued to collaborate on various projects, and he is surely among the two or three scholars with whom I am most happy to work in close association. Readers of this series will already be familiar with his Pillar commentary on James—and that after writing, for another series, what is still the best English-language commentary on Romans.

SBL Handbook of Style
I typically consult The SBL Handbook of Style a couple of times each week to double-check various format and style issues. I was just delighted to learn that the entire book is available for free online as a PDF!
Update: The SBL site now says, “You must login to download The SBL Handbook of Style.”
Chawkat Moucarry on Islam
The fourth essay in Christ on Campus Initiative’s series was just published: Chawkat Moucarry’s “A Christian Perspective on Islam.” (The essays are also hosted by the Henry Center.)
The CCI essays are (1) by evangelical scholars, (2) geared for campus evangelism, and (3) edited by D. A. Carson.
Here’s the outline for Moucarry’s essay:

Interview with Steve Baugh on Ephesians in the ESVSB
I recently interviewed S. M. Baugh re his notes on Ephesians for the ESV Study Bible. Crossway has made his introduction and notes to Ephesians 1 available here. The interview is published on Justin Taylor’s blog.
