Thread: Two New Books

Just got 'em today:

A Case for Historic Premillennialism: An Alternative to "Left Behind" Eschatology, edited by Craig L. Blomberg and Sung Wook Chung (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2009). I've been waiting a long time for a book like this. Finally! A book-length defense of historic (or classic) premillennialism which firmly disconnects it from dispensationalism. Premillennialism was around a long time before dispensationalism showed up. It's time people were reminded of that fact.

Systematic Theology: Grounded in Holy Scripture and Understood in the Light of the Church: Volume One: The God Who Is: The Holy Trinity by Douglas F. Kelly (Fearn: Mentor, 2008). After some years when it seemed like systematic theologians were wondering if their discipline could actually be done, several excellent STs have been published in the last ten years or so. I'm confident that Kelly's contribution will be another choice example.

I just bought Kelly's ST book as well. I had Dr. Kelly for ST 1 at RTS, and learned much from him. Should be a great read.

Thanks for sharing

Dr Kelly's ST is already finished or the 3rd volume is still not the last?

Defenitely that is The ST to have, looking forward to buy it when will be possible

Of course I am more than happy with Bavinck's RD

Only the first volume of Kelly's Systematic is finished.

I've started reading Kelly's book. I was startled to discover that he uses the KJV as his default translation throughout. I guess he didn't get the memo...
