Driscoll & Crossway
This new book series from Driscoll & Crossway sounds very promising. Here are the first two scheduled books in the series:
Vintage Jesus: Timeless Answers to Timely QuestionsChapter 1 Is Jesus the Only God?
Chapter 2 How Human Was Jesus?
Chapter 3 How Did People Know Jesus Was Coming?
Chapter 4 Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?
Chapter 5 Why Did Jesus' Mom Need to Be a Virgin?
Chapter 6 What Did Jesus Accomplish on the Cross?
Chapter 7 Did Jesus Rise from Death?
Chapter 8 Where Is Jesus Today?
Chapter 9 Why Should We Worship Jesus?
Chapter 10 What Makes Jesus Superior to Other Saviors?
Chapter 11 What Difference Has Jesus Made in History?
Chapter 12 What Will Jesus Do upon His Return?
Vintage Jesus is scheduled to come out this next February in conjunction with Resurgence's Text & Context Conference.
Book two is Driscoll's current project:
Death by LoveMany books debate the finer points of the doctrine of the atonement. What is often lost are the implications of Jesus' death on the cross for those who have sinned and have been sinned against. This book will allow people to understand, appreciate, and trust in Jesus' work on the cross for sins in a way that other books on the subject simply do not. The tone will be conversational, loving, heartfelt, and pastoral because it is based on real people and real sin.
Our hope is that Death by Love will be one of the most unique books ever written on the cross of Jesus Christ. It is a compilation of heartfelt letters written from me to people I pastor about the practical ways that Jesus' death is the only hope for their life.

Sir:
Why would anyone want to take the time to read what is coming from a "cussing, filthy-mouthed, hipster" Mark Driscoll?
When his lowbrow smutty talk is the hallmark of his ministry; why should anyone take him seriously?
IMO it is poor judgment to recommend a "cussing" pastor's writing.
Phil Johnson at Pyromaniacs, with whom I have almost nothing in common with, got it right in his assessment of Driscoll. See Fed Up. See On A Side Note...
For example, "But I don't think his (Driscoll's) perpetually coarse language in the pulpit and his apparent preoccupation with off-color terms and ribald subject matter are merely minor flaws in an otherwise healthy ministry. It is a serious shortcoming."
