The God Who Saves: Early Reader Reviews
My latest book, The God Who Saves: A Dogmatic Sketch, has not even been out for a month and already the reviews are coming in. Here are some tweets from two readers, Josiah Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) and NC Clair (@nc_clair). Daniels read an early draft, while Clair read the ebook version.
If Im reading @dwcongdon right, his soteriology is an apocalyptic, mystical, materialist ensemble. https://t.co/L0U6M2IOMh— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
.@dwcongdon "The truth of the gospel is that the Messiah is already here with me and you today."https://t.co/L0U6M2IOMh— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
.@dwcongdon We r saved from ourselves. Not the sinful old self. Saved frm our pursuit of security-our desire to assert freedom and authority— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
.@dwcongdon's apocalyptic soteriology emphasizes "our death-the death of the existentially secure world that we build around ourselves."— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
.@dwcongdon "We may not have a firm grasp on ourselves, much less on God, but *God* has a firm grasp on us." https://t.co/L0U6M2IOMh— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
.@dwcongdon. Excellent book. Cannot recommend it enough. https://t.co/L0U6M2rdnH pic.twitter.com/EWvWNFnL6O— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
Great news everyone: @dwcongdon reminded me why I am a Christian and he also helped me (officially) make the materialist leap. #theologynerd— Josiah R. Daniels (@josiah_Rdaniels) September 23, 2016
@dwcongdon I've been waiting for someone to say this. To give words to my rejection of "worldview" talk. pic.twitter.com/n80V7n2vLP— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
@dwcongdon you've written a generative work that reaches beyond your primary thesis. What a gift you possess and give to us.— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
@dwcongdon this kind of theological writing stokes my mind, and heart. It's doxological. And only in chapter 1! Yikes! #TheologyMatters— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
Ladies and Gentlemen, theology for grown ups. @dwcongdon pic.twitter.com/0Cw4Pc1MUT— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
"Apologetics as the attempt to defend Xianity by extratheological criteria is...ruled out in principle" -@dwcongdon PREACH IN THIS PLACE.— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
I can't even. The "Theology as Science" section of The God Who Saves... No words. @WTravisMcMaken @dwcongdon @JonOutLoud— NC Clair (@nc_clair) September 30, 2016
@dwcongdon i wept when i read this. This means everything for the pastor/preacher who has ears to hear. Beautiful. pic.twitter.com/ioALWcGTtp— NC Clair (@nc_clair) October 2, 2016
@dwcongdon seriously...thank you for doing theology for the Church.— NC Clair (@nc_clair) October 2, 2016
@dwcongdon i mean, i haven't even gotten to the central thesis yet and this prologue is totally bonkers. 👍👍👍👍👍👍— NC Clair (@nc_clair) October 2, 2016
