We all have our favorites among people, things, thoughts, etc., so we should all know that just because one is favored over another does not mean he or it is flawless and perfect (complete).
My favorite interest is theology. It has been for about three decades now. One of the most influential statements of logic I’ve read was by John Owen.
Owen asked, “For Whom Did Christ Die?” Here is his answer:
The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either:
1. All the sins of all men.
2. All the sins of some men, or
3. Some of the sins of all men.In which case it may be said:
1. That if the last be true, all men have some sins to answer for, and so, none are saved.
2. That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of all the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth.
3. But if the first be the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto their sins?You answer, “Because of unbelief.”
I ask, Is this unbelief a sin, or is it not? If it be, then Christ suffered the punishment due unto it, or He did not. If He did, why must that hinder them more than their other sins for which He died? If He did not, He did not die for all their sins!”
Out of my collection of hundreds of theology books, I have more by Arthur W. Pink than any other. His final edition of The Sovereignty of God is an awesome classic!
Instead of writing about my favorites and since pictures can say more than words, I’ll include a small fraction of my books in photos.
Maybe visual images will help others to realize that neurology and psychology are not my main interest. I’d rather talk about Christ more than anything else,¹ but somehow my blog doesn’t seem to give that impression.
¹I said talk; not argue.
