Read on to hear more about the latest book reviews.
Reading Religion
“Iran, Israel, and the Jews, an edited volume of fifteen essays is a welcome and important contribution to the history of the Jews of Persia,” writes reviewer, Jason Mokhtarian of Cornell University. Read the full review of Pickwick volume, Iran, Israel, and the Jews: Symbiosis and Conflict from the Archaemenids to the Islamic Republic, edited by Aaron Koller and Daniel Tsadik, here.
Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
From the review of Michael Patrick Preciado’s Pickwick volume, A Reformed View of Freedom: The Compatibility of Guidance Control and Reformed Theology: “Preciado has done a great service to the Reformed philosophical and theological community. Besides clearing the Reformed Orthodox’s and Edwards’s respective positions from some important misreadings, this book also offers a good model of sound philosophy that is both respectful of historical, intellectual, and textual contexts and able to abide to constructively contrast and compare terminology and concepts of past and present.” For the full review, visit the PRTS blog.
Indonesian Journal of Theology & Australasian Pentecostal Studies
Nimi Wariboko’s Cascade title, The Pentecostal Hypothesis: Christ Talks, They Decide, garnered two separate reviews in recent weeks.
