Here’s the review I’ve done on this book:
Dave's Exegesis is my eclectic site of exegesis on pretty much everything I can think of, whether biblical studies, theology, music, movies, culture, food, drink, sports, or the internet.
Here is a list of all of the one volume biblical theologies out there designed to help us understand the whole story of the Bible:

You guys tell me what you think. Is Jesus your WEDGIE? This picture is disturbing in more ways than one. Time for…rename that book anybody (in the Dr. James tradition)?
By the way, must give credit to Kalila for finding back in the returns area at work. Good eye honey!
Recently I have been informed of two sites that I am really excited about. The first I found out about via Justin Taylor’s blog: John Frame’s and Vern Poythress’ site. It contains a growing number of their books, articles, lectures. John Frame is a renowned theologian who has taught at Westminster Theological Seminary and currently teaches at Reformed Theological Seminary. He has written extensively on apologetics, theology proper, worship, and philosophy. Vern Poythress has been a professor at Westminster, teaching New Testament, hermeneutics, linguistics, and exegetical methodology. He is less known than Frame, but his work is the same caliber in significance. I am so glad two theological studs are making their broad and important resources available for free. They also have a lot to say about digital copywriting. Another fantastic place that I have just found via Josh’s blog: The Drama of Scripture. It is a website devoted to the book (listed on my current reading) and the promotion of biblical theology. It has PDF files to use for Bible studies, classes, and other teaching formats. Again, this is for free. Check them out, for these are rich resources.
