I'm not quite as excited as last month, but this month's free Logos book is still pretty good. It's Jesus and the Witness of Outsiders, one of Logos' "Mobile Ed" series of short courses. It's essentially a one hour lecture presented by Craig Evans, split into a number of short (3-7 minutes each) videos. A transcript is included, along with several quizzes and a final exam.

The content of the lecture is great. Evans considers himself an evangelical and though he's not quite as conservative as many apologists (he's not a biblical inerrantist, for example), he does consider the gospels to be historically reliable in general. Those interested in the historical Jesus, but that find the likes of Bart Ehrman or John Dominic Crossan are too theologically liberal may really enjoy listening to Evans.

My only beef is with the Logos software. The lectures are available as either audio-only or video, but must be listened to or viewed within the software. The media can be downloaded for use offline in the PC software, but the mobile Logos app only allows streaming. I can't really complain for a free product, but that limitation seriously tempers my willingness to spend $40 on another lecture, or even $10 for the additional discounted offering.

The Logos free book of the month

The free book from Verbum is Worship in the Early Church: An Anthology of Historical Sources, vol. 1 by Lawrence J. Johnson. This volume includes a number of Jewish and Christian writings that helped shape early Christianity. It includes such gems as The Didache, The Shepherd of Hermas, and Irenaeus' Against Heresies.

The companion discount to the freebie is volume 2 for $1.99.

As long as you're picking up free books to read in Logos, you may want to check Vyrso, as well. Vyrso is the storefront for more popular (as opposed to scholarly) ebooks in the Logos format.

John Dominic Crossan's How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian: Struggling with Divine Violence from Genesis Through Revelation is on sale for $1.99. If this one has been on sale before, I missed it.

The acclaimed Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus and God & Empire—“the greatest New Testament scholar of our generation” (John Shelby Spong) —grapples with Scripture’s two conflicting visions of Jesus and God, one of a loving God, and one of a vengeful God, and explains how Christians can better understand these passages in a way that enriches their faith.

Many portions of the New Testament, introduce a compassionate Jesus who turns the other cheek, loves his enemies, and shows grace to all. But the Jesus we find in Revelation and some portions of the Gospels leads an army of angels bent on earthly destruction. Which is the true revelation of the Messiah—and how can both be in the same Bible?

How to Read the Bible and Still be a Christian explores this question and offers guidance for the faithful conflicted over which version of the Lord to worship. John Dominic Crossan reconciles these contrasting views, revealing how different writers of the books of the Bible not only possessed different visions of God but also different purposes for writing. Often these books are explicitly competing against another, opposing vision of God from the Bible itself.

Crossan explains how to navigate this debate and offers what he believes is the best central thread to what the Bible is all about. He challenges Christians to fully participate in this dialogue, thereby shaping their faith by reading deeply, reflectively, and in community with others who share their uncertainty. Only then, he advises, will Christians be able to read and understand the Bible without losing their faith.

Go and Sin No More: A Call to Holiness Kindle Edition
by Michael L. Brown

Free today Nov 24, 2017

https://www.amazon.com/Go-Sin-No-Mor...dp/B008S29ZLW/

https://www.amazon.ca/Go-Sin-No-More...dp/B008S29ZLW/

Amazon blurb:

Spoiler:

Dr. Bill Bright called this book, "Magnificent. . . . One of those rare, life-changing books." The sad truth is that holiness is one of the most misunderstood topics in the Church today, with one side preaching legalistic bondage and the other side preaching false grace. In Go And Sin No More, Dr. Michael L. Brown strikes a biblical balance and points the way to a grace-filled, Spirit-e empowered holiness, revealing how you can overcome temptation and live a passionate life of holiness that will fill God's heart with joy.

Michael L. Brown (Ph. D., New York University), is the President of FIRE School of Ministry, Concord North Carolina, and host of the nationally syndicated radio program The Line of Fire. He is the author of more than 20 books and is a published Old Testament scholar as well as a noted Messianic Jewish apologist.

Just saw this and ordered, it may not be for everyone. Have ocasionally listened to Dr. Brown's radio show, heard some of his debates, and read a couple of his books. I don't agree with all of his theology but on the major points have agreed.

The new CSB Study Bible is on sale for $2.99. The translation is the latest edition of the Christian Standard Bible, which is a bit different than the old HCSB. The book introductions and study notes are word-for-word identical to the HCSB Study Bible, though, so if you already have that, you probably don't need this one.

It's still full price, but I expect it will drop at eBooks.com and Kobo.
