Episodes
The Heaven on Earth Conference by Kees Postma
This diary of Pastor Case Parker is a work of fiction. Thank goodness for that, because if this diary revealed the thoughts of an actual pastor, it would be a disaster for the church, a disaster that the church might never recover from, or would it? Would it be such a bad thing?
God's Rascal by Dale Ralph Davis
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is one character who is a selfish, conniving liar, but we still cheer for him. His name is Loki. In the Bible, we also have a selfish, conniving, liar whom we also cheer for. His name is Jacob.
Year 5
It’s not that I forgot my anniversary, it’s that I didn’t want to appear empty handed. And that is why I waited until I published a book review episode before I record this annual anniversary episode. But I couldn’t remember which year it was. Fourth year or fifth year? I had to look it up.
Truth with Love: The Apologetics of Francis Schaeffer by Bryan A. Follis
“Is Francis Schaeffer a rationalist?” is a question that should only interest people who already know him. But, even though I don’t really know the man or his work, I found a defence of his apologetics helpful in thinking more precisely and more lovingly. If only all of us were as passionate for God, for people and for the truth.

The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin
After many long years, I finally ticked one book off my great books list. Instead of reading excerpts and quotes and never being sure whether they were taken out of context or not, I have read for myself John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion.
The City of God by Augustine of Hippo
In a list of books to read before I die, Augustine’s The City of God would rank high on that list. I tried reading it 20 years ago, but I didn’t manage to get very far. Over the years, I considered taking it up again, but... 1,000 pages! I needed a big reason to start this big book. And this year, I found that reason.
The Gospel According to Jesus by John MacArthur
You have heard of the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John but have you heard of the Gospel according to Jesus? Today’s book shatters the idea that you can have Jesus as your Saviour without him being your Lord and Master.
Proverbs: Old Testament Guide by James D. Martin
Long before there was an app for everything, we had a word of wisdom for every situation we found ourselves in. In this age of search engines and AI, never has it been clearer that we need wisdom. Hopefully, we will get some today.
Revelation by M. Eugene Boring
If John, the writer of Revelation, was a reporter he would be fired for publishing fake news. He is not a reporter. He is a highly intelligent and creative writer who used the apocalyptic genre to reveal the truth of God. Did John see what he claimed to see? Find out in today’s episode.
Year 4
Reading and Readers is now 4 years old! And I just missed the anniversary. It's official. The romance has gone!
Philemon (MacArthur NT Commentary) by John MacArthur
A letter from an apostle to a slave owner; a letter brought to the owner through his runaway slave. The apostle never asks his friend to release the slave, only to receive him as a brother in Christ. But what does that request mean for the slave, for the owner, for the rest of us?
Changing Normal by Jolene Kinser
There is an old Chinese Proverb, “化干戈为玉帛” which translates to, “Turning weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk”. It means turning hostility into friendship. That’s what today’s book is all about.
40 Questions About Christians and Biblical Law by Thomas Schreiner
The Old Testament is all about the Law; the New Testament is all about Grace. That statement over-simplifies the relationship of the Law in the Christian life. If you have questions that need answering, I have a book for you.

What Grieving People Wish You Knew About What Really Helps (and What Really Doesn’t) by Nancy Guthrie

How to Think Theologically by Howard Stone and James Duke
Everyone wants to know how to make money, how to lose weight, how to make friends and influence people. But before all that, more importantly, the first thing we got to know is how to think -- and as people who live our lives before God -- specifically, it is knowing how to think theologically.Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I review Christian book

Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology by Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer

Jesus and the Land: The New Testament Challenge to Holy Land Theology by Gary M. Burge
It's a nightmare that never ends. A nightmare of rape, murder, of unspeakable evil to the young, to the old, to pregnant women and babies. A nightmare that is all too real. What does the Bible say about the Israel-Palestine conflict? Or more specifically, what does the New Testament say about the Christian's posture towards the Holy Land?Hi, my name is Terence and I'm your host for Reading and Rea

Saint Augustine: Four Anti-Pelagian Writings
A theologian writes a critical response to a popular teaching. He destroys it. The teaching and teacher are irredeemably branded as heresy and heretic. Augustine vs. Pelagius, the battle of the ages.

After Acts: Exploring the Lives and Legends of the Apostles by Bryan Litfin
Every good book or movie or TV series ends with closure for the characters. After so many years, Rachel and Ross finally got together. After so many doubts, Chandler finally accepts he is going to be a father. But the Bible does not give us such closures. What happened to Peter? He just disappears halfway through Acts. What happens to Paul? We left him in house arrest. We expect to turn the page t
Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer
Evangelism. The Great Commission is so important which is why people get upset when it's done differently or wrongly or not according to what the Bible teaches.Sovereignty of God. Arguably the greatest of all the great doctrines. And people do argue about it, what it means and how it changes our lives. Put Evangelism and Sovereignty of God together and it's like the fusion of two atoms. You get a
The Message of Discipleship by Peter Morden
In every church you will hear that the most important thing is discipleship. "Get discipleship right, and you get everything else right", "Christians are disciples of Jesus" and so on.

Doctrines of Grace by James M. Boice and Philip G. Ryken
Do you know what are the Doctrines of Grace? If you are not a Calvinist, you might fumble and try to recall your pastor's sermon on grace.

Whether you are a Calvinist or not, this book has something to offer, and today's episode will give you one tidbit to take home.Hi, my name is Terence and I'm your host for Reading and Rea
Letters of John (NIVAC) by Gary Burge
Have you read those letters from John? He seems to repeat himself over and over again, love, truth, love, truth. Is it because he is old and can't remember what he just said or wrote? Or maybe, there is something deeper here that I don't get. It would be nice if someone could help me get into the meaning, help me understand the context so that I can apply it in my own life.

God's Grand Design: The Theological Vision of Jonathan Edwards by Sean Michael Lucas
300 years ago, many Puritans believed the return of Christ was imminent. After all, the Great Awakening was divine proof that America was the last stop in the global harvest. Alas!

And who better to offer that theological vision to America than America's
