Biblical studies: good books to get
Friday, December 07, 2007There were quite a number of first-timers in the last "Study on the Gospel of John" class and I made good friends with one of them, Jing Shan. I had caught up with her since classes completed last week, and she got lost in the forest - trying to get hold of what she needs to do with a theological paper and a short exegesis.
I am trying to help her come up with a list of good books to have for starters: I have these in mind. This is by no means the best books but I think they should be good enough. And in the course of looking for them: my own wishlist has expanded! Oh dear.
Introduction
Biblical Dictionary
Biblical Interpretation
Bible Background

ReplyDeleteGood for your Friday book-shopping ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend the NIV Application Commentary series as well. I'm nearing the end of a four year project to read them all (just Daniel and Revelation to go now after 2 Peter/Jude) and they've been marvellous. Wish they'd get on an publish the last four as well!
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up! I have not used it before but I do hear may good reviews about them. I hope to get hold on one and try out it out - which would you recommend as the best of the lot.
