becoming

It’s been a while since my last online book-purchase, what should I get this time?

Other than those on my wishlist, any interesting books you read recently which you care to recommend? Let me know!

Enough about Mozart (and other stuff). Here is a list of books I recently purchased (and/or are reading):

• The Second Epistle to the Corinthians (New International Commentary on the New Testament)
  by Paul Barnett (A good alternative of Thrall’s ICC series, a bit more update than Furnish’s, and less technical than Harris’. The commentary argues for the unity of 2 Cor. with a pastoral focus.)
  
• The Theology of the Later Pauline Letters (New Testament Theology)
  by Andrew T. Lincoln (A good summary of Lincoln’s Word Commentary on Ephesians)
  
• Paul: In Fresh Perspective
  by N. T. Wright (A good preview of his forthcoming book on Paul in his COQG series)
• The Climax of the Covenant: Christ and the Law in Pauline Theology
  by N. T. Wright (A classic and a more technical discussions on 2nd Temple Judaism)
  
• The Conversion of the Imagination: Paul As Interpreter of Israel’s Scripture
  by Richard B. Hays (A discussion on his rationale behind Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul (aka. the book everybody is quoting from in their thesis). A good read if you are tired of hearing those semi-learned accusing the NT writers quoting the OT with no respect to its context)
  

在sidebar的項目中有一個是“Books in Hand”，都是我正在看的書。我不時也會更新它。不過並非全部…

按照一日的時序，我正閱讀的書包括：

1. 聖經 新譯本 〔清晨〕
2. 1-2 Corinthians (NCBC) 〔有空檔的時候〕
3. 哥林多前書—教會時弊的良方—愛 〔有空檔的時候〕
4. 聖經 The Message 〔在車中〕
5. 新品種的基督徒 〔如廁時〕
6. 教會大變身–後現代教會發展新思維 〔睡前〕
7. Prince Caspian 〔睡前〕

你呢？你在看甚麼書？是否信仰的不要緊，留個note分享一下吧！
