Authors/Preachers/Theologians/Media Creators That Requires A Little Side Note…

John Piper: I highly respect Dr. Piper for many reasons, and he is often edifying side by side with the likes of Tom Ascol, John MacArthur and others. In fact, Dr. MacArthur has said during his Strange Fire Conference panel that he not only highly respects Dr. Piper he genuinely loves him and considers him a dear Brother and close friend. Dr. Piper’s style of teaching is very intellectual and hermaneutical yet passionate and emotionally expressive. I especially enjoyed his YouTube video breakdowns of the whole book of Ephesians. His book “Providence” sits prominently on our bookshelf at home. I credit Dr. Piper’s articles about election and limited atonement on DesiringGod.org as the nudge I needed to solidify my being, indeed, a 5-point Calvinist. There are some things that “give me pause” (as I often hear him say in his sermons). Some of his beliefs does lean a bit towards the Charismatic, Continuationist teachings, albeit, less so now than a few years ago. Other than that consideration, I enthusiastically recommend anything by John Piper, especially his most recent stuff.
