Recommended Resources

As a pastor and a continual student, I do a lot of resourcing, especially on Biblical and theological subjects. Below you’ll find an alphabetical list of subjects with the resources I recommend. Be aware that some of these are academic resources and may not be accessible to everyone. Resources prefixed with an asterisk are “must-haves” on the subject.
