The Resurgence have just launched a new website for their publishing arm Re:Lit. Re:Lit recently published Vintage Jesus, and will soon be releasing Death by Love (both books are by Mark Driscoll & Gerry Breshears).

Among their library I noticed that Total Church (by Tim Chester & Steve Timmis) will be republished by Re:Lit in September. A series of short books called A book you’ll actually read (by Mark Driscoll) will be published shortly. See below for videos on each of the books:

Today is our Biblical Theology exam. There is a “BT Pack of Awesomeness” floating around, with a whole bunch of summary sheets for different topic areas.
