NEWS: Midweek Recap / Bargain Books. [Vol. 3, #18]
We have recently made a slight change to our format and the reviews, excerpts, poems, etc. of our Midweek update will be posted to “pages” on the ERB website, and announced via social media. If you’re a “first-to-know” sort of person, you can get these updates when they first come out in one of two ways:
Otherwise, in our regular issue each Friday, we will recap the content of our midweek update. For instance, this week’s update included:
- [Multimedia Tuesday] NPR Interview with authors of STUFF.
- Review: 2 Books on Food (One from CINO and One from Maria Rodale)
- Classic Book Excerpt: THE OMNIVORE’S DILEMMA by Michael Pollan
In our continuing effort to fund the publication and free distribution of The Englewood Review, we are going to be collaborating more intentionally with Christian Book Distributors. Primarily, we will be offering you the opportunity to buy bargain books from CBD that we think of are interest. Buying books this way is a win / win / win proposition. You get great books for a great price, CBD gets the sale and we get an excellent referral fee from CBD.

Understanding Matthew: The Early Christian Worldview of the First Gospel
By Stephen Westerholm / Baker $2.99 – Save 85%!!! This work, a companion volume to Westerholm’s Understanding Paul provides an introduction to the early Christian worldview of the First Gospel. The study is neither a verse-by-verse commentary nor a narrowly focused academic monograph. It is an engaging reader’s guide to Matthew’s worldview and his story of Jesus’ life, preaching, andcall to discipleship. Westerholm’s goal, as he writes in the first chapter, is that readers might “begin to understand how Matthew made sense of things, and to see how it makes sense to make sense of things that way.” His introductory chapter examines the idea of a worldview. He then considers the central aspects of Matthew’s worldview Israel’s understanding of God, his dealings with the Jewish people, and Jesus’ preaching about God’s kingdom. |
