William Perkins is the father of Puritanism, often remembered for his preaching manual, The Art of Prophesying. Much attention has been given to the Puritan movement, especially in its later forms, but comparatively little has been given to Perkins. In The Gloss and the Text, Andrew Ballitch provides a thorough examination of the hermeneutical principles that governed Perkins’s approach to biblical interpretation. Perkins taught that the Bible was God’s word as well as the interpretation of God’s word. Interpretation is no private matter; it is a public gift of the Spirit of God for the people of God. Ballitch’s study sheds light on Perkins as a preacher, theologian, and student of Scripture.

______________

Andrew S. Ballitch (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is Associate Pastor of Preaching and Ministries at Westwood Alliance Church in Mansfield, Ohio. He co-edited Faith and Love: William Perkins's Wholesome Doctrine of the Gospel and The Works of William Perkins, vol. 7.

______________

‘Scholars increasingly recognize the work of Reformed and Puritan divines as exegetes of the Holy Scriptures. In this well-researched, clearly written study, Ballitch gives us a front-row seat to observe William Perkins in both his principles and practice of expositing God’s word for life application. Given the prominence of Perkins as a preacher and theologian in the Reformed experiential tradition, Ballitch’s work will benefit not only students of history but also Reformed experiential preachers and theologians today.’ Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is presented a little better.
Format: Paperback
It takes cringe moments in the movie, and represents then better. The great Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is still portrayed as the pathetic, washed up, deadbeat hermit - but you begin feel sorry for him in this comic book presentation. A lot of it is narrated by Luke himself, and you feel his iner turmoil. Not to give spoilers for the few who missed the movie, story elements that bothered many fans are still there, Extracurricular parts, such as “your mama” jokes and getting green milk from the creature, is, thankfully, omitted.

An interesting, if a little derivative, take on Wolvie’s origins
Format: Kindle
At this point Wolverine origin stories are a dime a dozen and they all will inevitably be held to the standard of the classic Barry Windsor-Smith Weapon X series and while this book tries to reach those heights, it doesn’t quite make it in terms of its writing, it does rival it in terms of art tho, which is nice. Again, another book I wish I could give half stars with because my rating for this book is closer to a 3.5 stars and it’s mostly carried by the art, but it’s leaning closer to the upper half of that rating so that’s why I went with 4. Regardless, my biggest issue comes from the fact that by and large it isn’t THAT different from the usual Wolvie origin story that was established in 616, the whole concept of Logan being the Winter Soldier isn’t used to its fullest potential because (spoilers) it’s tragically short lived, as he is back with this universe’s equivalent of the 616 X-Men by the end of Issue #6; I will say that what little there is of him being the Winter Soldier is cool as hell thanks to Cappuccio's artwork. Seriously, that is the best part of the book: Alessandro Cappuccio's artwork. I loved him on Moon Knight and I love him here, he is a master of delivering high impact artwork whenever it’s needed. Overall it’s a solid book that didn’t take much advantage of its interesting new premise before returning to status quo, but it’s at least carried by some killer artwork.
