What I'm Reading Right Now

Worship, Community and the Triune God of Grace
This book does a good job in showing the theological and practical implications of our participation in the communion of the Trinity. I've been studying the topic of Trinitarian theology a lot lately and am intrigued by this approach to soteriology. James Torrence taught systematic theology at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, but does a good job here in making a complex subject accessible to the average reader.

Honey, Let's Get A Boat
I love being around or on the water and have always enjoyed reading travelogues, so this book was a no-brainer for me to buy. It's the story of Ron and Eva Stob, who one day bought a boat and just walked away from it all to spend a year traveling 6300 miles by water around "the great loop," a waterway that circles the whole eastern side of North America. These folks have done what many of us have fantasized doing and make it easy to vicariously live through their experience for a little while.

  1. This James Torrance book is very good! I learnt about it indirectly first through the teaching of Baxter Kruger - Perichoresis.org who studied under James Torrance and his brother Thomas F Torrance. Thomas Torrance also wrote a very good which i recommend called 'The Mediation of Christ'
