Love your recs! Just finished my M.A. in Exposition and have a lot of these. I love these resources so much. I have most of it in Logos. One aspect you haven't mentioned is books on the New Testament use of the Old Testament. Those are extremely helpful as well.
I commented above of the exact same thing, then see you comments. TBH, this really turns me off. I am not trying to nit pik. Would Paul or Jesus play music when they talked? Frankly, I don't know what he was thinking when he decided to do that. Maybe he thinks it is cool to do that. I couldn't focus on what he was trying to say the entire time.
This post raises an important issue. We definitely all bring our own assumptions and beliefs (our presuppositions and preunderstandings) to the text, and skepticism of someone that doesn't share ours is normal. All of that is ok to acknowledge. A key question is whether it's worth reading someone I know I won't agree with on all issues. For myself the answer is yes, because I learn a lot in the process about what I do believe (and why) and enjoy the challenge of assessing opposing arguments on the basis of their merits, but each reader needs to answer this question for themselves.
Please turn off the background music. It's as loud as your voice. I don't understand the purpose of having background music on full blast. Why? You play music in the background also when you teach in the classroom?

Subscribed. I thought I my "books to buy" list was getting a little short, so thanks for that. I need more bookshelves.
😂 - I'm happy to help!
Hello! Great video! Just subscribed & can't wait for more videos from you! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, Dru!
Very helpful!
That's great to hear!
Just looking at your channel really looks good.
Thanks!
Good video!
Thanks!
the background music is unnecessary and distracting.
Yeah, I have to admit I agree. I wish I'd had made the music quieter or just removed it. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching!
Yes. It is just too loud

I think Tremper Longman is politically liberal. Since politics is downstream from theology, I would be skeptical of his theological beliefs.
