John Piper's newest book Why I Love the Apostle Paul comes out January 31, 2019!
This is not a biography of Apostle Paul or an analysis of his writings. This is simply John Piper writing why he loves the Apostle Paul and what kind of personal impact he has had in his life and thinking. It’s an admiring tribute to the Apostle, nothing more. This book is not for everyone. It’s for those who are familiar with both |
the work of John Piper and the greatness of Apostle Paul. Without an appreciation of both, this book will fall flat. On the other hand, you will see how deeply indebted Piper is to Paul’s life and writings, how they shaped his theology and the greatest theological discoveries of his life. We wouldn’t have “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him” without Apostle Paul.
Piper gets really personal in this book. It’s not about teaching people something new. It’s about sharing his personal journey in relation to how the teachings in Paul’s writings helped him, including his personal struggles with his cancer, habitual sins, or racism.
This book is definitely not his best, in structure or eloquence, but still Piper-esque.
Moderately recommended.
I would like to thank Crossway Books for an advance copy of this book:
