What I’m Reading – 9/23/16

Below are some of the articles and books I’ve read recently that you may enjoy checking out.

• “Can You Be Neither Complementarian Nor Egalitarian?” (Todd Wilson, TGC) — This is a helpful book review of a recent book trying to provide an alternative approach to questions surrounding gender roles.

• “Discrimination That Is Necessary For A Civil Society: A Response To David Gushee” (George Guthrie, CT) — This is a gracious and wise response to David Gushee’s article on the LGBT movement from one of Gushee’s former colleagues.

• “Why Christians Should Strongly Support Muslim Freedom to Build Mosques” (John Stonestreet, CP) — Stonestreet gives both principled and pragmatic reasons for defending religious liberty for all people, including Muslims who want to build a mosque.

• “U.S. Civil Rights Commission: ‘Religious Freedom’ Is Code Word for Racism, Homophobia, and ‘Christian Supremacy’” (Joe Carter, TGC) — Carter breaks down a disturbing report from one of the federal government’s own commissions, which concludes that when religious liberty and sexual liberty conflict in our country, sexual liberty should always win.

• “What Happens to Those Who Never Hear the Gospel?” (Matt Smethurst, TGC) — This is a helpful approach to a difficult but eternally significant question. Well worth a read!

• “The New Testament Scholar from Down Under” (Thomas Schreiner, TGC) — Schreiner reviews a new biography of Leon Morris, one of the great evangelical New Testament scholars of the 20th century. I have benefited much from Morris’ writings, and I look forward to getting my hands on this book.
