So I would love to see a Jack Cottrell life works library.  I find reading just one of his books like "faith once for all", which i have from logos, makes me want to read all of his other books (as he often refers to them).  This man is probably the leading arminian scholar and would love to see him and his writings get the attention they deserve. Oh and I would love to see his new book on Grace on logos in general.

    My parents were fellow seminary students with Jack Cottrell and my father introduced me to his writings in the '80s.

    I had several volumes he wrote for the College Press  "What the Bible Says About" series.. They are gems. He did 3. "on God the Creator", "God the Redeemer", "God  the ?" -  title escapes me.

    He is also good at teaching apologetics. I would welcome a life works library and the afore-mentioned set. which has been out of print for a while.

    I find him a very clear and cogent writer.  I don't always agree with some of his conclusions and a bit of bluster that he sometimes injects, but like all authors I interact with, I can sift through that. I appreciate his clear style.

    I like Apples.  Especially Honeycrisp.

    In college Cottrell occasionally taught our theology classes (Cincinnati Bible College now Cincinnati Christian University) when our regular prof was out.  They were always interesting.  He has a very straight forward way of presenting the scriptures.  I learned a great deal from him and his books.  I would love to see a life works library.  I would love to see him release his class notes on the Theology of Grace!

     

    all about Christ,

    David, College Press has just released his newest book: "What the Bible Says About Grace" and it is my understanding, that this is a result of those class notes.

    David, if you are still interested, "What the Bible Says About Grace" is now available in Logos. I got my copy downloaded around the 11th of June. I was in church camp that week and haven't had much time to review the book, but it IS available now, along with several others from College Press.

    I agree that this book is basically his Grace class notes in book format.  I took that class and I have the notes and they work right along with the book.  I"m looking forward to the PBB feature to import the notes as a book.  Not to mention his collection of facebook notes.
