Author Spotlight

D.A. Carson is one of the foremost biblical scholars of our day and has written or edited more books than you’ve probably read, yet at the center of his ministry is the truth of God’s Word. We love that Carson-our spotlighted author this month-is a learned scholar with the heart of a pastor.

Whether you're new to Carson or an old fan you'll find some interesting facts about in Justin Taylor's introduction to the author Who Is D.A. Carson? (For example: He reads about 500 books a year, travels 100,000 miles a year, and no one ever calls him "D.A.") Justin has also put together a beautiful list of Carson resources grouped helpfully around statements like: "I want to learn how Christ and culture relate," or "I want to work through the entire Bible in a year."

You'll also be able to get a taste for Carson's writing in two excerpts from his work. First, in two excerpts from For the Love of God Carson comments on two incidents in the life of Christ. Then in The Supremacy of Jesus Christ in the Mediation of God's Love Carson walks through John 17 and explains how the glory of Christ is most clearly seen in the cross of Christ.
