This book should release by August 2026:
Carson, D. A., and Andrew David Naselli. Exegetical Fallacies. 3rd ed. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2026.
Dr. Carson wrote the first two editions, which released in 1984 and 1996. Baker Academic plans to release the third edition thirty years after the second edition.
While Dr. Carson’s voice still predominates in the third edition, I have updated Exegetical Fallacies in three ways:
- I have removed some less relevant examples and added new ones, including some new fallacies. This third edition is about 30% longer than the second edition.
- Instead of using only labels as the headings for fallacies throughout the book, I have labeled each fallacy, and then I concisely define that fallacy. This makes the book a bit more user-friendly.
- I have lightly updated the style to make it as accessible as I could for non-experts. I have attempted to make it readable for beginning theology students as well as stimulating for those who are intermediate or more advanced.
