Binning was an astonishing fellow. He died at the age of 26. That’s right, 26! But a perusal of his literary remains shows a maturity of thought and a depth of theological acumen few could rival.

By Filings on Thu, 07/23/26
Body

“While reading Dave Kiehn’s Pulling the Thread, I felt like I was sitting down for a thoughtful conversation about church revitalization with a loving and faithful pastor who was genuinely interested in the work the Lord had given me to do.” - 9 Marks

The Ghosts of Postliberalism

By Filings on Fri, 07/17/26
Body

“Why Postliberalism Failed, by James M. Patterson and Thomas D. Howes, enters that debate with an ambitious claim. Contemporary postliberalism, they argue, is neither novel nor untested. It is best understood as the latest expression of an older political tradition whose historical record is considerably less attractive than many of its advocates acknowledge.” - Acton

How Should Christians Think about the Law of Moses? Review: Jesus and the Law of Moses

By Filings on Mon, 07/13/26
Body

“The strength of Sloan’s argument comes with a necessary caveat…. he goes on to argue that Jesus, as Lord of the law, reestablishes the law and restores God’s people to a form of law observance. And this brings us to a few serious criticisms of Sloan’s work.” - 9 Marks

This is a review of the book The Words of the Covenant: A Biblical Theology Volume 1 – Old Testament Expectation, by Dr. Paul Martin Henebury, published by Xulon Press Elite (Paperback 467 Pages).

By Filings on Mon, 07/06/26
Body

“Christians, especially pastors, need thoughtful resources to equip themselves to reach Latter-day Saints with the gospel. Beshears provides just such a resource, written with the charitable tone he hopes evangelicals will adopt when engaging Latter-day Saints.” - TGC

What Do Conservatives Believe?

By Filings on Fri, 07/03/26
Body

“Pence’s new book, What Conservatives Believe, breaks no new ground. It does not yield to the performative narcissism of the age by settling old scores or dishing insider gossip. What it does provide is an accessible, practical 21st-century update of the conservative canon.” - Acton

What Do I Owe My Aging Parents? Review: ‘Honoring Dependent Parents’ by Bill Davis

By Filings on Wed, 07/01/26
Body

“There’s no cookie-cutter approach to honoring aging parents. Most senior citizens say they’d like to stay in their own home as they age. When family members live nearby, simply picking up groceries and cutting the lawn may be all that’s needed. But the financial and logistical challenges increase as distance grows.” - TGC
