I was pleased to find On the Incarnation remarkably fresh and engaging, still fierce and still passionate too. Such is rarely the case with works of theology, particularly when orthodoxy has robbed them even of the novelty of heresy, for dry-as-dust disquisitions on settled questions often summon...

| Author | Basil the Great |
| ISBN | 0913836745 |
St Basil, much like St Gregory of Nazianzen, begins his work with a dense discussion of the terminology. It is easy for today's reader to miss what is important in the debate. St Basil spends the first few chapters sparring over the use of prepositions as they are applied to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit....
| Author | Justo L. González |
| ISBN | 0060633158 |
For a very general introduction to the early history of the Church up until the Protestant Reformation, I would recommend this book. But only as a primary introduction.
Its chief virtues are that it is highly readable (high school reading level) and easy to understand; the chapters are brief...
| Author | Pope Gregory I |

This manual for pastors by St Gregory the Great is very, very good. I regret that I didn't read it while I was in seminary because it would have had a significant impact on my training and formation.
This is the most influential ancient work written specifically for pastors regarding their preaching,...

Adam in the New Testament: Mere Teaching Model or First Historical Man?
| Author | Richard B. Gaffin |
| ISBN | 1596385227 |
Versteeg shows clearly that the New Testament writers thought Adam was a historical man standing at the beginning of the human race. He looks at Romans 5, I Corinthians 15, Luke 3, I Timothy 2, and Jude. These are the only places Adam is mentioned in the NT. In all these passages Adam is treated as a historical...
| Author | D.A. Carson |

For what this book sets out to be, it's fantastic. As a quick overview of the most common word-grammar fallacies, logical fallacies, historical fallacies, etc., D.A. Carson does a lovely job of presenting solid explanations and brief examples that are often helpful and rarely confusing. A few times...
