“As we will see, there is an inextricable link between the doctrine of God – His attributes and properties – and the biblical understanding of who Christ is. This should not be surprising. If indeed we know who God is by virtue of his revelation to us, the quintessential knowledge of God will naturally come by way of the quintessential revelation of God, which is given to the world in Jesus Christ. It would not be an overstatement to stay that the way to a proper understanding of God and his character is given foremost in a proper understanding of the Son of God come in the flesh, Jesus Christ.” (K. Scott Oliphint, God With Us)

Resources
- There’s a new 9Marks eJournal on the subject of Lay Elders: A User’s Guide (Part 1). I suspect there will be a sequel. And let me take a moment to remind you that we have a marvelous index of the 9Marks eJournals here on the Beacon.
- There is also a new Tabletalk devotional on the topic of The Prodigal Son. And let me take yet another moment to remind you that we have a marvelous index of Tabletalk here on the Beacon as well.
- In what is becoming a banner month for journals, Themelios 37.3 is out as well.
- On top of that, the fall issue of the JBMW is out too. Denny Burk has a summary of where you can get it, which is important since their website seems to be experiencing rather severe issues at the moment. If you’re interested though, here’s the last snapshot that the Internet Archive stored that still manages to serve up the files.
- Also, Grace Advance has resurrected Pulpit Magazine, and the first several issues are freely available here.
Free Offers
- Christianaudio.com’s free audio book of the month is Dietrich Bonhoffer’s God is in the Manger.
- Logo’s free book of the month is Dr. Ryrie’s Articles.
Articles of Note
- Tim Challies often is involved with resources that we really like, so it’s worth noting that he’s recently gathered all the Visual Theology posts into a single place, and he’s also updated his “The Essential” series with articles on both revelation and atonement.
- I know I’ve mentioned this several times before, but CJ Mahaney’s ebook on Biblical productivity is spectacular.
- Last but not least, if you want a challenge for the day, consider this mapping of 2010 US census data on births and deaths…and consider the eternal implications.
See you Sunday.
