Puritan Board Graduate
In this day, I find it important to look to Scripture in order to learn theology, not the latest and most popular, trendy books. The books all sound great and wonderful, and seem to even be right, but I often find a lot of new academic material to be quite at odds with Scripture on many, many subjects.

Phil 3:8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith"” 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
