Logos Free Book of the Month: Bruce Barton, Romans (Life Application Bible Commentary)

Until October 1, you can add Bruce B. Barton’s Life Application Bible Commentary on Romans(Tyndale, 1992) to your Logos Library for free. The Life Application Bible Commentary series provides verse-by-verse explanation, background, and application for every verse in the New Testament. In addition, it gives personal help, teaching notes, and sermon ideas that will address needs, answer questions, and provide insight for applying God’s Word to life today. The content is highlighted so that particular verses and phrases are easy to find. Each volume contains three sections: introduction, commentary, and reference. The introduction includes an overview of the book, the book’s historical context, a timeline, cultural background information, major themes, an overview map, and an explanation about the author and audience.

In addition to the free book, you can save on more theology from Fortress Press:

• Russell D. Moore and Andrew T. Walker, The Gospel & Religious Liberty (The Gospel For Life), $3.99
• Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal, Volume 1, No. 1, 2007, $4.99

The first volume of Sehnsucht, a C. S. Lewis journal from the Arizona C. S. Lewis Society, is a great deal. Great academic articles on a wide range of Lewis:

• A Time for Joy: The Ancestry and Apologetic Force of C. S. Lewis’ Sehnsucht, JAMES P. HELFERS, Grand Canyon University
• Reading the Middle Ages: The “Postmodern” Medievalism of C. S. Lewis, CHARLES CONNELL, Northern Arizona University
• Grooving a Symbol: Turkish Delight in Narnia, DEL KEHL, Arizona State University
• Defending the Dangerous Idea: An Update on C. S. Lewis’ Argument from Reason, VICTOR REPPERT, Glendale Community College
• All My Dogs Before Me, BRUCE R. JOHNSON, Scottsdale Presbyterian Church

Gerry Schoberg, Perspectives of Jesus in the Writings of Paul looks great as well. It is a “slightly revised doctoral dissertation that I submitted to the University of Bristol” written under John Nolland.  From the Blurb:  “Was Paul shaped by the movement that began with the teaching and activities of Jesus, or did he start something new? Attempts to answer this question one way or the other have a long history dating back to the nineteenth century. Gerry Schoberg raises the question again in light of more recent scholarship—especially in light of historical Jesus research and the so-called “New Perspective” on Paul.”
