March Help Backwoods Decide What to Read

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

After taking a couple months off everyone's least favorite game show is back (and for the first time in this fancy new format)...

Thanks again for your help!

Is Bucer in English?

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

Yep. It is twinned Melancthon's Loci Communes.

A voted for "The Life of John Brown of Haddington by William Brown" because there is a used copy of John Brown's commentary on Hebrews sitting on the shelf of a local used bookstore and I haven't bought it...yet.

Seth, those are different John Brown's. The John Brown who wrote the commentary on Hebrews that appears in the Geneva series is John Brown of Edinburgh. But I believe both of those John Browns, as well as John Brown of Wamphray are worth reading.

Really? I thought for sure it said John brown of haddington in the preface. Either way, I want to buy that book.

Freedom of the Will, because it is so helpful in what seems to be a common question and discussion when you engage Christians and non-Christians alike in conversation regarding the predicament of human existence as it relates to the natural of our minds, hearts and wills. Edwards contribution to this discussion is enormous!

 

[Christusregnat]

Yep. It is twinned Melancthon's Loci Communes.

That sounds like a GREAT read! I'd love to pick up both. Is it in the great Christian Classics series, or whatever?

So, which one's body lies amouldering in the grave? All four?

Yeah the "Library of Christian Classics".

While I cannot disagree with choosing any of the books on the list and own several, I nevertheless had to vote for one I don't own, but should - Machen. Surprised he only has 2 votes so far. I also haven't read Hodge's Ephesians but went back to vote for it and found I couldn't - what is this, one man one vote?
I find it a little discomfiting to be voting for books I haven't read, but it's a real eye opener because I have others by Machen & Hodge both, and I do tend to favor American Presbyterians - maybe I should get out more...
Thanks for the cool poll - it was interesting.
