Across the Spectrum: Understanding Issues in Evangelical Theology
Gregory A. Boyd, Paul Rhodes Eddy
Baker Academic, 2002
Get some perspective, people!
It shouldn't have to be said, but since no one has REALLY said it, I will. Do you negative reviewers actually believe that the authors hold all of these views? And that it is their intent for you to just pick any of them (cafeteria-style) and that they're all equal? ...

Jesus Legend, The: A Case for the Historical Reliability of the Synoptic Jesus Tradition
Paul Rhodes Eddy, Gregory A. Boyd
Baker Academic, 2007
Legendary
The set of respectable ways to argue that Jesus was legendary or never existed just got a whole lot smaller. Two highly qualified scholars with impeccable credentials have granted the skeptics their wish: to subject the Jesus-myth arguments to critical scrutiny instead ...

Satan & the Problem of Evil: Constructing a Trinitarian Warfare Theodicy
Gregory A. Boyd
InterVarsity Press, 2001
MUCH NEEDED REBUTTAL TO CALVINISM AND ITS REPROCUSIONS
In contrast to the widely accepted protestant view of Calvinistic Determinism, Dr. Boyd has laid forth the early Jewish and Church's understanding and view of God's foreknowledge, free agency, and evil as it is experienced. This view is definitely in more harmony with ...

God of the Possible: A Biblical Introduction to the Open View of God
Gregory A. Boyd
Baker Books, 2000
Critical Thinking Christian
I have always been curious about Open Theism. For years I was taught things in churches that conflicted with each other, some of which wasn't even found in the Bible! But, if you're looking for a way to understand the Bible in a light that has been around since the 5th ...

Repenting of Religion: Turning from Judgment to the Love of God
Gregory A. Boyd
Baker Books, 2004
Repenting of Religion; turning from judment to the Love of God
This book is thought provoking and well written. It contains some of the best devotional passages I've ever read. Its main point - loving people, not judging or criticizing them - is certainly at the heart of Christianity.

Letters from a Skeptic: A Son Wrestles With His Father's Questions About Christianity
Gregory A., Dr. Boyd, Edward K. Boyd
David C. Cook, 2008
Primarily personal and intimate; secondary is apologetics
This is unlike any other "apologetic" book I have read, in that it is very personal as the son (Greg) responds to his father's questions about the Christian faith. This made it a much more interesting read for me, wanting to see the dialogue between them.
I agree ...

Seeing Is Believing: Experience Jesus through Imaginative Prayer
Gregory A. Boyd
Baker Books, 2004
A truly healing experience
I admit it. I bought the book for someone else - someone who was going through a very difficult time and was looking for answers and inner healing. But I decided I had better read it all the way through before giving it to him. I was only a few chapters into it when I ...

Business & Legal Primer for Game Development
Charles River Media, 2006
"Invaluable"
This book was invaluable to me in learning about doing business in the video game industry and the concerns that a game development team will face.
While many books which discuss the video game industry will waver in their accuracy on any given subtopic due to the ...

Lord or Legend?: Wrestling with the Jesus Dilemma
Gregory A. Boyd, Paul Rhodes Eddy
Baker Books, 2007
If You are Born Again, You will Love this Book
First of all, I should state my bias. I was Born Again in 1962, and am striving to be as pleasing as possible to my wonderful Lord Jesus Christ. Over the years, I have read perhaps a dozen apologetic books. It was a great pleasure to read "Lord or Legend?". It is one ...

A book for our times
This is an excellent book. I do a lot of counseling with folks and I know it will be an extremely useful tool. I think it gives great insight in how we remember, based on experience rather than words. Negative experiences can be planted in our mind in split seconds, ...

Divine Foreknowledge: Four Views
InterVarsity Press, 2001
Excellent Introduction to the Foreknowledge debate
Most of the reviews on this page miss the boat entirely. Rather than actually reviewing or recommending DF the reviewers are merely venting their anger because their particular view is challenged. Pay them no mind. DF is an excellent book. Buy it and read all the ...
