Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God

by D.A. Carson and D. A. Carson

At first thought, understanding the doctrine of the love of God seems simple compared to trying to fathom other doctrines like that of the Trinity or predestination.

An Introduction to the New Testament, Second Edition

by D.A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo

An Introduction to the New Testament focuses on "special introduction" that is historical questions dealing with authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth.

The God Who Is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story

by D.A. Carson and D. A. Carson

It can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper conte… Read more…

Thanksgiving: An Investigation of a Pauline Theme

Thanksgiving: An Investigation of a Pauline Theme

by D.A. Carson and David W. Pao

"Be thankful" (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving—and yet, major modern studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it. David Pao aims to rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study, a New Studies in Biblical Theology v… Read more…

Now Choose Life: Theology and Ethics in Deuteronomy

Now Choose Life: Theology and Ethics in Deuteronomy

by D.A. Carson and Gary Millar

The cultural changes now taking place in our own social setting make the parallel between Israel and the churchâ… Read more…

Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor: The Life and Reflections of Tom Carson

by D.A. Carson and D. A. Carson

D. A. Carson's father was a pioneering church-planter and pastor in Quebec.
