Pierced for Our Transgressions
It finally made it across the Atlantic. Some time back there was, in Jonathan Leeman’s phrase, “quite a hullabaloo over the gospel.” That hullabaloo was largely occasioned by N. T. Wright’s response to Pierced for Our Transgressions, which has finally made it across the water and is now available from Crossway Books. N. T. Wright …

Communion with the Triune God, ed. Kapic and Taylor: Another Suggestion for Pastors
When Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor’s edition of Owen’s Overcoming Sin and Temptation came out, I suggested that pastors go through this slowly with others they serve with at church.
