Books by Johnny Long

Johnny Long has written and contributed to several books, all of which have been published by Syngress. You can see the list of books on his web site, ordered from newest to oldest (LINK). I'm a big fan of the Stealing the Network series, which has been a very interesting collaborative project as each chapter is written by a different author. I'd love to see a similar type of collaborative writing project amongst some of us Bible Geeks. Any takers? : ) I suppose 3 posts related to Johnny Long is enough for one day. I'll have to find something new to talk about tomorrow.

God's Problem by Bart Ehrman


In case you were looking for a list minute gift for easter, Harper Collins has recently released Bart Ehrman's latest work titled: God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer our Most Important Question--Why We suffer. In the preface, Ehrman notes that he has written this book "for a broad audience of regular readers, not for a narrow audience of specialists". For the sake of this audience, he notes that he included minimal references and endnotes. This seems awfully convenient when you consider that the target audience is probably under-informed on the subject. Since I haven't fully read this work yet, I am not sure if he uses this as a strategic advantage in making his case. This is a book I hope to read and review sometime in the next 6 months. In the meantime, you can read some thoughts from Ben Witherington here: LINK. There are a lot of great comments and links to other reviews in his post as well.

P.S. Mom, I was kidding when I said this was a great idea for an easter gift. The standard basket of peeps and reeses peanut butter eggs will do. : )
