Study Room Guidelines

Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.

We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Forum Rules: here

            I'm taking a quick break from everything else I'm reading to quickly get through Craig Blomberg's Can We Still Believe The Bible?, which came out this morning. (Blomberg is going to appear on AP's podcast later this month to discuss the book.)

              I am tackling Bible memorization on Sundays and I will also be tackling the book A Handbook for Christian Maturity by Bill Bright. I also want to tackle the books The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness and The Fruitful Life: The Overflow of God's Love Through You by Jerry Bridges

                          I am the heathen here I guess. I am re-reading Donna Tartt's "The Secret History"-- I love, love, love that book.

                                Mostly because I can read it for free on my kindle with my Amazon Prime membership . . . and partly because I find it interesting to learn more what some mythicists out there actually believe. Grandson of Herod: Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm may've been inspired in part by a book written in 1946 called King Jesus by Robert Graves.
