Basic Library Booklist Prepared by the Faculty Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary 2014

Transcription

1 1 Basic Library Booklist Prepared by the Faculty Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary 2014 This list has been prepared to assist students at Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary in selecting books for their future ministries. It has been specifically designed to answer the question of which books are the best on a particular book of the Bible or theological subject. In the case of commentaries, best means those that are the most helpful in exegesis and exposition, as well as understanding the overall argument of a book. Commentaries of a sermonic and/or devotional nature, though helpful and oftentimes essential for sermon preparation, are not generally represented in this list. The books are listed in order of importance. The first book listed, if available, is the one the student should purchase first. However, it should not be assumed that one commentary will suffice for the task of teaching or preaching through a book. This is almost never the case. Some books that are out of print are still listed because they may be available in some bookstores or used copies may often be obtained. It is difficult to find any book with which the faculty would completely agree; therefore, the student should understand that a book s inclusion on the list does not mean an unqualified endorsement of everything in the book. The dagger symbol indicates that a book, although valuable, contains some theological errors and, therefore, must be used with special discernment. Books that differ from a premillennial, dispensational viewpoint are not so marked. SERIES KEY: AB Anchor Bible. Edited by William F. Albright and David N. Freedman. Doubleday & Co.
