Glad I found your channel. A man after my own nerd of the word heart. one or two for consideration might be Witsius Economy of the covenants, and Cunninghams Historical Theology, which is currently dumbfounding me in regards to how unknown an English speaking theologian of this prowess could be. I know they might qualify in different modern categories, but they are definitely both systematic theologies in the classical sense. Thanks for your work, may God continue to bear fruit in you. Godspeed

I want to thank you for ur channel. Ur book recommendations are a gem I am a layperson in Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma. I am a puritan and reformed theology fiend 😊 Keep up the good work,God bless

Who’s your favorite Biblical pastor?

My wife wants to thank you so much for adding more books to my list. Apparently I don’t have enough. LOL

The first idea come in when I see the titile is "ouch, I just clear my cart for Christmas!"

Been reading Bavinck, Vos, and Calvin recently. Not P&R, but also Spurgeon.

Fantastic! RHB sell volumes 1 & 2 of Thomas Boston works with dust jackets 😊

And once again The Nerdy Pastor puts a hurt on my credit card! He's a dangerous man! Love your videos. Have purchased many of your suggestions, the latest being Paul by F.F. Bruce and The Crucifixion by Fleming Rutledge. Looking forward to Nos. 1-7 of your favorite reformed authors.

My 2 favorite are Jame R White, R.,C Sproul

I think my favorite Reformed Theologian is probably Thomas Watson or Brakel. My favorite modern would be Beeke or Poythress

Honorable Mentions Dr Gaffin Dr Venema Dr Fesko Dr Van Til Dr John Murray Dr Warfield Petrus van Matrisct Dr Louis Dabney Dr Berkhof

Richard Muller disagrees that it is strange nomenclature. And the champion of the anti-RB take, by his own "logic" is more Anabaptist than the RB, given he denies original Westminster on the Civil Magistrate for American religious liberty. A rare disappointing take.

Thanks 🙏.

Am I dumb or did Turretin miss the list?

Can someone enlighten me on the value of reading Maximus the Confessor? He already seems rather Eastern. I’ve been trying to start reading the church fathers and I’ve not yet decided if I should add Maximus the Confessor to my already-long list of to-reads

A tip I use is, for those hard-to-find books that occasionally pop up on eBay, set up searches for them on the site and the site will let you know when someone posts a listing to check out (have been able to get my hands on a number of things like this), and...conferences/assemblies seem to be a good source for book discounts as well haha - thanks for the post! (and mentioning an older video of yours that I'm gonna need to check out as well...)

I would say on the culture/controversy books where you're buying to be informed, not buying to have as a friend, that is the best use of Kindle. Buy it on E-book. Mark up your comments, transfer them to your Miscellanea, and then delete it or let it sit in the e-library instead of eating valuable shelf space a friend could have.

Thank you brother! Can you please leave your email adress below. Would love to get in touch. Blessings in Christ.

What about Kerstens Dogmatics? I got them recently, so good

What reading list and directives would you give to someone who is starting seminary in a year? What would you say to focus on?

Could you do a video on practical helps for personal study of the Westminster standards? How to read them systematically, devotional, and maybe your favorite recs for expositions and books about them

Nice! I want to read Him We Proclaim, it’s been on my shelf for a while.

Thank you for the resource recommendations!

Nice 2-series spotlight on William Shedd. Thanks.

Thank you. Can you please do a video on those who are following Old Testament ceremonial laws, such as Hebrew Israelites, British Israelism etc. They emphasise the sabbath, feast days, clean and unclean foods etc. I believe your video is speaking about keeping the moral law in Jesus Christ, if I have understood correctly?

Thank you for the in depth information on Hodge. My former pastor told me once that I need a sparring partner when it comes to theology and Hodge is my go to along with Shedd and Vos. Appreciate your channel. Be blessed.

Well said. And wb.

I got this book some weeks ago and I’ve just finished page 125 of his Theoretical-Practical theology volume 2, and I am absolutely loving it his exegesis is soooo good and I model mine out of that as well, also his “best method of preaching” was also amazing. I am utterly fascinated by his work and am taking so many notes no wonder Johnathan Edward’s said such good things about this work. I can’t wait for the rest of the volumes to come out.

Hi, Thank you for taking time out to produce such excellent videos... Clearly, you've read a lot! Just one question - could you either make a video showing the difference between the font size of the text in Systematic Theology by Robert Culver and A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson. All I'd like to know is if the print size used in Culver's Systematic Theology is as small as those in Watson's Body of Divinity or is it smaller print or larger.. I find it a little difficult to read very small print for a long time, hence this query.. I'm considering purchasing RC's Systematic Theology, but would like your input on this with regards to the printed text. Thank you again for all your time and efforts.... You're being watched! Keep up the good work and God bless.

Thanks! Been slowly working through the sabbath. I think I have come to the conclusion that it is a creation mandate but still working through it. Still trying to wrap my head around the implications. Any suggestions or recommendations on the topic that you think are definitive? Thanks for your videos…I do appreciate them!

Bavinck’s entire four volume Reformed Dogmatics is currently on sale for $150 at Reformation Heritage Books 🎉🙌🏼. I’ve held off buying the set because of the cost, but today is the day!

Would you be able to point me in the direction of where I can find scripture that clearly shows when the requirement to practice the sabbath changed to Sunday vs. Saturday?

Thank you for the helpful tips. I am a part of a group of friends that started a reading group this summer. We kicked off the group with Henri Nouwens -Return of the Prodigal Son- I was the only group member that had already read it. It was a hit, we all saw ourselves in at least one of the characters, most identified with all 3.

Thank you for this helpful video. As far as I know Robert Haldane was not Presbyterian but was Baptist in his convictions. The churches established by him were certainly Baptist and not Presbyterian. Best wishes, David

Ive been trying to get christian friends to read The Way of Life for years because it has been so helpful to me.

Always a joy.

I've read some Crisp (Deviant Calvinism, etc...often insightful, even when I disagree 😅), so I might check out that book you referenced along with that Dogmatic Theology if I can get my hands on it...sometime...after the bajillion other books I've got in the queue are done...lol thanks for the video and looking forward to watching the next! (catching up on these haha)

That about John Frame? I was looking at that one? Thoughts?

Thank you Nerdy Pastor. Your work is always amazing! Comprehensive and saving lives.

Pastor, so encouraging. Thank you for sharing and spending your time and energy sharing your knowledge and love of Jesus. Thank you

Great coaching.

I just read a Lloyd-Jones sermon in Ephesians that said this quote below. The whole sermon changed my mind about Christian "defeatism": "I sin because I'm weak and can't do anything about it". That type of thing. Always praying for help. While God does help us, He has given us this power has He not? He has not left us orphans: "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." - Jn 14:18. I mean the whole sermon of his took down that feeling. I left it going wow! While I don't believe in perfectionism it has given me a feeling of God didn't just save me and walk away and leave me to myself. It is a warfare. It is a battle. But He has given us what we need. How often is warfare preached / taught on? Not much maybe. Prayer is good. But there is also a battle to go to. “...We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” - Ac 14:22. Lloyd-Jones: “Surely we must recognise that this ‘Let go and let God’ teaching is quite unscriptural. If it were true, this whole section of the Epistle to the Ephesians, from verse 17 of the fourth chapter to the end of the Epistle, should never have been written at all. The Apostle should not have written these words, and he should not have gone on to say, Therefore, put away lying; speak truth every man with his neighbour; be ye angry and sin not; neither give place to the devil; let him that stole, steal no more. He would not have said these things; it would have been wrong for him to say them. Instead, he would have said, If any of you believers are tempted to steal, pray about it; let go, and ask the Lord to deliver you from it! But he says nothing of the kind. Instead he says, Those of you who have been given to stealing, stop doing it, steal no more, put off the old man! Thus it is obvious that the teaching which may sound very spiritual can be utterly unscriptural. It not only by-passes the Scripture, it denies the Scripture. ” Excerpt From Darkness and Light: An Exposition of Ephesians 4:17-5:17 D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Thank you for your videos. I've been watching a few now and have a renewed interest in taking up my Shedd systematic again. I was reading his chapter on Bibliology and had to underline (in Logos) this part near the beginning: "In this sense, all that man knows intuitively is revealed to him; for even his axiomatic knowledge does not originate from himself independently and apart from his Creator. All that he knows in this manner, he knows through his intellect, and this intellect is the workmanship of God. Man cognizes in accordance with the laws of human intelligence, and these laws are established by his maker." So would this cover everything? Math, science, chemistry, biology? If there is truth (as per Augustine I guess) then it's GOD's truth. Whatever truth it is. Not man's. 2+2=4 is a fact that both Christians and non-Christians can talk about because it's universally God's truth, albeit general revelation. What are your thoughts on the Shedd quote?

Uncle Bob Letham was my System Theology lecturer for my graduate diploma. It is good but I still prefer Grudem.

Hi, can you do a review on the mystical theology of The Eastern Church by vladmir lossky

Always excited to see a new video drop from you! 👍🏼

Valuable series. Thanks for taking this on!

I genuinely love this channel!

What commentary series do you use? Modern? Old? Any whole Bible commentary or people you go to a lot?

I am tasked with the reopening of our church library that has been closed for over 2 years. There is a sizable section of Christian Fiction that neither I nor my Pastors are overly excited about. I have been asked to weed that section down as much as possible leaving only what might be profitable but I have no knowledge of the Christian Fiction world (I’ve read nearly zero of it). As a Traditional, Conservative Baptist Church (Not Reformed) I could use some direction of author’s to avoid and author’s to look for.
