Hi Mark –

I found your blog by googling ‘life on wings ern baxter’. Thanks for making it available in MP3 format.

I used to have the audio cassette but lost it years ago. Haven’t heard that masterpiece in over 25 years. It’s still as fresh and relevant today as it was back then. So I’ll be putting it onto my 14-year old son’s MP3 player!

Is it posible to have some of your other Ern Baxter sermons in MP3 format? Please ‘mail me as I can’t find an email address for you anywhereon your blog.

Cheers,

- Joel Scott

I think you’re right on both counts. Moo on James is certainly worthy of the title, I just haven’t heard that many people recommend it.

I believe the count should be nine, not eight, though Philip E. Hughes on Revelation is no longer in print. It was made a part of this series along with Morris on Romans, Morris on Matthew, and Carson on John when Eerdmans decided to turn these independent commentaries into a series.

I would also add Moo on James as the standard evangelical commentary on that book. The main competitors are the Anchor Bible volume by Luke Timothy Johnson, who is by no means an evangelical, and the NIGTC by Peter Davids, which is a good deal older and not as highly favored by most of the reviews I’ve read. I suppose you could consider Ralph Martin’s WBC, but that’s also older, and Martin is not conservative enough for me to be fully comfortable calling him an an evangelical. He considers himself one, but he doesn’t fit all standards for what the term means. I therefore think of Moo as the evangelical standard.
