Tyndale House Videos on the Christian Faith
The Greens spent a wonderful sabbatical at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England (in spring of 2010). Tyndale House is a residential center for biblical studies, and has a world-class theological library. It is a great gift to the Christian church, and we are thankful for the opportunity to have studied there. Recently Tyndale House has produced some helpful videos on the resurrection, the nature of the crucifixion, the nature/authority of Scripture, and other items. The videos are helpfully collected here. Enjoy!

David Daniell and The Bible in English
This year is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible (published in 1611). I will be presenting a paper at a Union University/Ryan Center for Biblical Studies conference this coming fall: KJV 400 Legacy and Impact. This has given me a good excuse to buy and begin to read David Daniel's The Bible in English (Yale, 2003). Thus far it is absolutely wonderful. A few years ago I read his William Tyndale biography, and I absolutely loved it. The Bible in English is 700+ pages, plus appendices/bibliography/indices. If you are looking for a shorter, but nonetheless wonderful book on the King James Bible, and its significance, you might look at Leland Ryken's The Legacy of the King James Bible: Celebrating 400 Years of the Most Influential English Translation (Crossway, 2011).

Thoughts on Reading
Over at The Gospel Coalition web site I share some thoughts on reading, when to read, and what I am reading at present. There is lots of good material at The Gospel Coalition's site. Fred Sanders and Carl Trueman also share thoughts on reading.

D.A. Carson's For the Love of God
Over at The Gospel Coalition's web site, Don Carson has a "blog" of sorts. It is not really a blog, but rather a free online version of his wonderful books For the Love of God (2 volumes, Crossway). In these "posts" (sections of the books) Carson follows Robert Murray McCheyne's outline for reading the Bible in a year, and offers comments on the passages read on a given day. Carson's two volumes are perhaps the best "devotional" reading I am aware of.

Unbelievable--A Helpful UK Radio Program
The Green family spent a wonderful four months in Cambridge in 2010, on study leave. One of the things I discovered was the "Unbelievable" radio program, hosted by Justin Brierley. This program generally follows a debate format, often between a Christian and a non-Christian. Brierley is a good host/interviewer, and usually has intriguiging and thoughtful guests. If you spend time in your car, or if your work schedule/rhythm of your life allows it, these are great programs to listen to. Since it is impossible to read all one might want to read, this program can be a great way to stay abreast of various issues. The web site is: http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable. Highly recommended.
