Crossway recently released this book’s third edition:
Andreas J. Köstenberger and Thomas R. Schreiner, eds. Women in the Church: An Interpretation and Application of 1 Timothy 2:9–15. 3rd ed. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2016.
In 2009 I reviewed the book’s second edition. [Read more…] about Women in the Church: An Interpretation and Application of 1 Timothy 2:9–15
This book is a sure-footed guide:
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:
David Dorsey wrote a thoughtful JETS article on the Mosaic law and the Christian in 1991:
Dorsey, David A. “The Law of Moses and the Christian: A Compromise.” JETS 34 (1991): 321–34.
Justin Taylor summarizes that essay in Q&A format here.
In 1999 Dorsey wrote another journal article on the Mosaic law and the Christian. This essay is not as well-known, and it was challenging to track down. I’m uploading an unmarked PDF of the essay here with the publisher’s permission:
Dorsey, David A. “The Use of the OT Law in the Christian Life: A Theocentric Approach.” Evangelical Journal 17, no. 1 (1999): 1–18. [Read more…] about David Dorsey on the Mosaic Law and the Christian
This is rich. I’ve heard several people recommend them recently, and now I know why.
You can download the audio as stand-alone MP3s or via a new app, and you can read the transcripts.
The corresponding NT lectures are by Craig Blomberg (about 4 hours, 40 min.) and Tom Schreiner (about 4 hours, 15 min.). It’s good stuff, but in these recordings Miles Van Pelt is more engaging.
In 2010, B&H published Whosoever Will: A Biblical-Theological Critique of Five-Point Calvinism (ed. David L. Allen and Steve W. Lemke). It arose from the 2008 “John 3:16 Conference.”
This book is much better:

I recently worked on a project on 2 Peter and Jude (more on that later), and I read a stack of commentaries from cover to cover (actually, I read a lineup of commentaries in Logos Bible Software from top to bottom). These two served me best:
Douglas J. Moo. 2 Peter, Jude. NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996. 316 pp.
Just outstanding. The NIVAC volumes have three categories in each section: original meaning, building contexts, and contemporary significance. Moo’s exegetical work in the first category is judicious as we’d expect, but what pleasantly surprised me is how edifying the other two categories are. The “contemporary significance” categories at the end of each section are so wise. [Read more…] about My Two Favorite Commentaries on 2 Peter and Jude
Thomas R. Schreiner, “Select Commentaries on the Pauline Epistles,” in Interpreting the Pauline Epistles (2nd ed.; Grand Rapids: Baker, 2011), 163–66 (numbering added).
Here I list not necessarily the most scholarly commentaries but what I consider to be the three best for students, teachers, and pastors.
