Schreiner, Thomas R. Faith Alone—the Doctrine of Justification: What the Reformers Taught and Why It Matters. The Five Solas. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2015.
Three chapters were highlights for me:
Two good interviews:
This is the most thoughtful and persuasive case for congregationalism that I know of:
Jonathan Leeman. Don’t Fire Your Church Members: The Case for Congregationalism. Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 2016.
What distinguishes different views on how to govern the church is who has final authority:
While godly, mature Christians disagree on which model is most biblical, I think the most biblical polity is elder-led and congregation-ruled.

This book officially releases today:

It’s massive. And it was an honor to contribute 44 of its 1240 pages. (More on that below.)
Here is a nearly 18-minute interview with Carson about the book:

This book releases next week:

My endorsement:
Many think that free will is the silver-bullet answer to some of theology’s most difficult questions. But do we have a free will?
Short answer: It depends on what you mean by free.
Long answer: Read this book. [Read more…] about What about Free Will? Reconciling Our Choices with God’s Sovereignty

In 2008 I live-blogged a debate at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School between (a) Bruce Ware and Wayne Grudem and (b) Tom McCall and Keith Yandell. They debated this question: “Do relations of authority and submission exist eternally among the Persons of the Godhead?”
This week Crossway is releasing a book on that issue:
Bruce A. Ware and John Starke, eds. One God in Three Persons: Unity of Essence, Distinction of Persons, Implications for Life. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2015.
This 49-page sample PDF includes the front matter and Wayne Grudem’s opening chapter.
Phil Gons and I coauthored chapter 9: “An Examination of Three Recent Philosophical Arguments against Hierarchy in the Immanent Trinity” (pp. 197–215).
Update on 5/22/2015: Crossway gave me permission to share a PDF of the Gons-Naselli chapter.
Update on 2/6/2019: In this panel on the Triune God, I state that I do not hold to EFS (but neither do I think it is heresy).
Sam Storms has a sequel to his first Tough Topics book:
Sam Storms. Tough Topics 2: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions. Fearn, Scotland: Christian Focus, 2015.
My endorsement:
Each controversial question Sam Storms poses could be the subject of an entire book, but he manages to give thoughtful brief answers that aren’t superficial. As a model pastor-theologian, he answers with clarity, wisdom, and grace.
These are the 25 questions: [Read more…] about Sam Storms’s Tough Topics 2: Biblical Answers to 25 Challenging Questions
