• Boyd provides an a hermeneutic that is based on his belief that only the cross of Christ is the right revelation of God and every passage in the OT and NT must be understood through this single act that defines love. For example, Boyd reads 1 Samual 15 and concludes that there is no way the Jesus of the cross would ask for the Amalekites to be slaughtered for something they did 400 years earlier when they were only trying to protect their land from the invading Israelites. So this command is simply the authors perception of God based on their perception of him that was shaped by ANE religion that valued violent deities. God's love in this is that he allowed his name to be connected with these people despite their evil only so he could lead them to the cross of Jesus. Paul Copan offers a stronger hermeneutic for understanding OT violence, but if anyone is studying this field for academic research, this is probably a good book to interact with.

        1. The Positives I am glad to see a few titles from Gordon Fee along with my own two books “Promise of the Faither” & “Have You Not Yet Received The Spirit?". I am also pleased to see the Charles Finney sources included as an early pre-Pentecostal primary source. And although Wesley was not Pentecostal, his works were used by some later Pentecostal writers so he is a good primary source to have on hand. The Tozer resources are helpful as his theology connects the pre-Pentecostal Moody theology with the distinctive Pentecostal theology of second blessing. What is Missing What I am not seeing is significant primary source materials from early Pentecostal Journals, influential writers such as Pheobe Palmer or Smith Wigglesworth. And surprisingly, there is not a single title in this package that even mentions Azusa Street, William Seymour or Charles Parham. Even the writings from early pre-Pentecostals like Edward Irving would be a huge benefit to Pentecostal studies. Sadly, all of this is missing. Overall, I only find 6 books that have the word Pentecostal or Charismatic in the title.

          1. The whole thing seems half-baked. Did they rush the release of these to coincide with the Baptist packages? Whoever is the editor for this series has not done their job.

          2. I expected everything from Menzies, Burgess, Fee, Yong, Michael L. Brown, etc. Nothing from Vynson Synan? Not one book of history of Azusa?

          3. I am also missing Bill Bright, Bill Johnson, Chuck Piece, Wagner, Swaggart, the Assemblies of God series, books about the Kingdom of God by example Ladd..... indeed rarismatic package....

        2. A wonderful resource for academics, but so disappointed to hear Logos is not allowing the series to continue.

              1. Here is my review. I am using the Logos Gold Package for this video as well

                1. For busy pastors on a tight budget, EEC provides a single volume resource with scholarship that is more current than the WBC, at a lower price, and with the addition of significant content useful for both preaching and teaching the three epistles of John. For teaching, at both the college and seminary level, I would chose the EEC for John’s Epistles over WBC vol. 51 as a course textbook. The one potential downside to EEC is that because it is purely a digital publication, there are no page numbers, which could be a problem for more traditional professors. However, in a digital age, this should not be a major hurdle to more progressive academic institutions. See the Full Review By J.R. Miller at http://www.morethancake.org/archives/4545
