But really, I'm not a very fast reader (on purpose) so the tally might not be as high as some might think.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-84753603908615580502008-02-21T16:25:00.000-06:002008-02-21T16:25:00.000-06:00Mr. Grant- Have you ever tallied how many books yo...Mr. Grant- Have you ever tallied how many books you read in a year?

Amazingly though, the index indicates no mentions of Kuyper, Van Til, or Groen. Machen gets one mention--equal to John Hagee. Willow Creek, on the other hand, gets four mentions and its own little section. Yikes! Methinks a more thorough-going history of the Reformed, ever-reforming world must needs be written still! I'm grateful for McGrath, but he's developing an narrow idea about Protestantism rather than surveying the history of all of Protestantism.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-90198744058589959742008-02-18T19:10:00.000-06:002008-02-18T19:10:00.000-06:00I'd like to know what you think of the McGrath boo...I'd like to know what you think of the McGrath book.<BR/><BR/>I've got it on hold at the library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-3956834879843390582008-02-17T18:19:00.000-06:002008-02-17T18:19:00.000-06:00I've really enjoyed what I have read of Berry's so...I've really enjoyed what I have read of Berry's so far and it looks like there is plenty more where that came from.

The first, <I>Nathan Coulter,</I> was published in 1960. It was followed by <I>A Place on Earth, The Memory of Old Jack, Remembering, A World Lost, Jayber Crow, Hannah Coulter,</I> and <I>Andy Catlett</I>. Berry has written more than fifty other books of essays, poetry, and cultural commentary. It is all extraordinarily rich fare--despite the fact that he remains more than a little theologically heterodox.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-27368422493010614382008-02-17T13:35:00.000-06:002008-02-17T13:35:00.000-06:00Mr. Grant- I know this isn't exactly on topic, but...Mr. Grant- <BR/>I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I was wondering if you could tell me the order of the Wendell Berry's novels on the citizens of Port William. I believe I started with the last one and haven't come across the proper order, but would like to read them that way. I know you're a fan of his so I thought I'd ask you. <BR/>Thanks-Katie Shryerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413124388959598294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-78509324806300816542008-02-16T14:24:00.000-06:002008-02-16T14:24:00.000-06:00Tom: I am loving my study of both Malachi and Hagg...Tom: I am loving my study of both Malachi and Haggai. I've always found the NICOT to be thorough and helpful--though only rarely inspirational or devotional. My plan is to begin teaching through these books after Easter.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-43914513534996365942008-02-16T09:48:00.000-06:002008-02-16T09:48:00.000-06:00How are you finding the Haggai commentary?

Finding myself in a building season of life, both at home and at church, it seems strikes me as a particularly appropriate text to be carefully considered once again.TomGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481291217116543969noreply@blogger.com
