2006 Books of the Year


Best Piper Book - God is the Gospel

Best Pauline Theological Books
1. Jesus' Blood and Righteousness: Paul's Theology of Imputation by Dr. Vickers - Vickers explains a view of imputation that would be hard to deny from any theological perspective.
2. By Faith, Not by Sight: Paul and the Order of Salvation by Dr. Gaffin - This book is great for anyone that would want to learn the more nuanced "order of salvation"
3. The New interpreter's Bible -Romans by N.T. Wright

Best Theology Book outside of Pauline Theology -

1. The Bible and the Future

Most Disappointing - (I am not saying these books are bad, but I think I was expecting too much from them)
1. Justification and Variegated Nomism, vol. 2: The Paradoxes of Paul..
2. God of Promise: Introducing Covenant Theology

Best Pastoral - Speaking Truth in Love by David Powlison
Book of the Year - The Drama of Scripture: Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story by Bartholomew and Goheen
