EMA Books (3)
For the next few days, we want to replay the EMA stage recommendations in terms of books, particularly for those who were not able to make it. These are not all the books our BookPanel liked – that would be too long a list – but instead those we wanted to particularly identify as being worthy of some reading time. In each case, there is a very brief review, but the main purpose of the posts is to highlight the titles.
Our Teaching series is now about 14 volumes strong. The latest is Bob Fyall’s Teaching 1 Kings. This was a joy to edit. Bob has a great ability to get into the narrative texts and help us see how things work – moreover, his applications are particularly rich, avoiding the same kind of “don’t we need a better king” in every passage, whilst still retaining his Christological focus. These volumes are not full commentaries; nevertheless, they are really very useful for preachers and Bible group leaders. Bob is already well under way with Teaching 2 Kings, and this looks like being a strong set. As one of Bob’s colleagues remarked to be recently, this is Bob’s speciality, he knows his stuff. And with this short volume, you will get a useful insight too.
