Weekly Links (1/8/2016)

by Stephen Rodgers

Alright, welcome back, happy 2016, yadda yadda, etc. etc. Let’s start with the free resources and finish with the New Year’s themed ones.

  • First up, the free audiobook of the month is the Common English Bible from christianaudio.com. If you were thinking of adding an audio Bible to your life, it’s kind of hard to beat free.
  • The free monthly resource from Logos is The JPS Torah Commentary: Exodus by Nahum M. Sarna. Beyond the fact that it exists, I can’t tell you much about it, but there it is.
  • The January 2016 issue of Tabletalk magazine is on the topic of Apologetics. In case you’re on the fence about Tabletalk, here’s a link to their “best of 2015” collection. You really should check it out if you haven’t already.
  • There’s also a new issue of CredoMag on the topic of John Owen. And if you’re looking to catch up on past issues, you can do that as well.
  • And last but not least, issue 40.3 of Themelios is out; if you’re not sure where to start, I particularly liked Rob Smith’s article on “The Amorality of Atheism.”

Alright; so that takes care of the new-and-free-in-January-2016 category. Let’s change the subject slightly. New calendar years often bring resolutions and resolve to read the Bible more earnestly or consistently, so let’s talk about that.

  • First of all, you might be surprised to learn that we have a whole section on the Recommended Resources page devoted to Bible Reading Plans.
  • On top of that, every year a few of the big Christian blogs put out posts or resources on the topic of daily Bible-reading, and 2016 is no exception. So here are some posts by Ligonier, Justin Taylor, and the Cripplegate.
  • And last but not least, if you’re looking for last year’s article roundup on this topic, you can find it here.

Hope that helps!
