Need more reading material!

[Zecryphon]

Kae, I figured I'd start next with the Large Catechism in the BoC. I also find myself reading the LSB daily too. Those hymns just really articulate the gospel message so well. I'm always awestruck by them.

 

[Tofferer]

I think I've read clean through the BoC twice. Can't say I completely understand it, however I find that I appreciate it and it is fun to look up the scripture references and think about them. I could spend days doing that.

I've been enjoying my new chronological Bible. Reading about Saul and David now.

I bought and read the Bondage of the Will when I became a Presbyterian elder. My theology Sunday school teacher recommended it as supplementary to the Heidelberg catechism we were studying at the time. I'd love to re-read it, if we start a discussion on it.

 

[WildStrawberry]

Ooh which one did you get, Synger?

I just bought this one The Narrated Bible. I'm really liking it.

Hey what are we gonna call our book club?

 

[WildStrawberry]

Well, I SAW that you said "the WildStrawberry Book Club" but I totally veto that.

Hmm. Katie's Book Chat?

Anyone have another idea?

Martin's Theology Lectures 101?

*G*

I got the One-Year Chronological NIV. It was the only one my bookstore had in hardcover. The softcovers were NIV or NLT.

Unfortunately, when I was doing my research I used the term "chronological" so your Narrated Bible didn't come up. *laughs* It looks like it's got more study helps in it.

But then, I'm looking at this more as a reading Bible than a study Bible. I have others for the in-depth stuff.

As reading Bibles go, I also REALLY like the ESV Literary Study Bible. For one, I love the translation. And I love that it's single-column, set up for an easier flow of reading. But the real plus for me, as a reader, is the explanations it gives of the different forms of the writing, like the various parallel structures of the Psalms. It helps me understand why they were written the way they were, and has really opened my eyes to how better to understand them.

I thought I put that in a PM. How'd you see it? You been hackin' into my computer... AGAIN?!?!??!? LOL

I'm drawin' a complete blank here. Maybe we should have a contest.

 

[synger]

I like "Book Chat".. that allows for anything from Scripture to fiction to doctrine to confessions to history...

ideas I've seen from other book clubs:

"Between the Covers"
"The Lutheran Bookies"
"Book Bites"

Is this something we want to do back here, or in TCL main forum?

 

[Zecryphon]

Maybe instead of a club, we can be a society. That sounds more distinguished. LOL The 1517 Society. hehehehe Our membership list will be totally secret. We'll conduct all our meetings in private. And we can even get a skull, say it's Luther's and start every reading by burning a Papal Bull. LOL It's kinda like Skull & Bones, just better. LOL

Yeah, that's what my crono Bible is for. Just to read through it.

Ooh, I'll have to check that out! Thanks!

I'm not hackin'. You put it in another thread out in the Main forum. *G* Or maybe you transmitted it into my brain. Whichever, I saw it.

I don't know...anyone have suggestions? Do we want to open it up and get thoughts and ideas from all or just keep it with the conservatives?

Um...I think someone forgot his anti-goofy pills this morning.

Acutally, I like the 1517 Society. Then it could be about more than just books...you know?

But, but, it's NIV. Is there a better translation available?

 

[synger]

No. *grumbles* I really wanted an ESV chronological, but the only options I found were NIV and NLT. Lesser of two evils, I guess.

 

[Zecryphon]

I like my Papal Bull medium rare, please.

Do you like your bull served with Cardinal Cajetan's famous bull sauce? LOL

 

[Zecryphon]

Yeah, that's what my crono Bible is for. Just to read through it.

I'm a loony Lutheran. I don't believe in anti-goofy pills, therefore they don't exist! LOL Oh the hold overs from my ND days. LOL

Sure, I know what you're talking about. Just keep telling yourself that.

*backs away slowly from the crazy lady holding the anti-goofy pills* LOL

I haven't seen one. My google-fu turned this up though...

http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/devotions/chronological/?date=2008-01-01

it's available as an RSS feed as well.

Heh. Yeah, sure. Okay then.

[WildStrawberry]

Ahh and some more advanced Google-fu (don't try this at home! Zec, I'm lookin' at YOU! ) turned up this

http://eword.gospelcom.net/year/

Don't know if they're all chronological but, they give a yearly schedule.

Kae

ETA: Yes. They all have chronological applications included.

 

[synger]

Maybe we can call it the

die Erdbeeregesellschaft

(though I'm not sure how to pronounce it)

After a couple of pints of good German beer, you'll get some ideas! LOL
