The Logic of the Body

Theology

“As a work of theology, The Logic of the Body is a rare blend of first-rate scholarship and first-rate pastoral insight. LaPine accomplishes what few even attempt: He writes a work that must be considered by both the academy and the church.”

The True Identity of the People of the Way

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a modern world full of alternative ‘ways’ of living, God’s people are called to walk a different path. Dr. Ross Harmon carefully and thoroughly helps us see how the book of Acts defines God’s people using the metaphor of the ‘Way’ of wisdom laid out in the Proverbs. Dr. Harmon’s work offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing connection of the wisdom literature of the Old Testament to the identity of God’s people in the New Testament. Ultimately, this work offers a fresh challenge to God’s people today— will we live as God’s pilgrim people, devoted to following the counterculture ‘way’ of wisdom found in Christ? Over the years, I have been grateful as a pastor for Dr. Harmon’s faithful service in our local church. Today, I am also glad to commend Dr. Harmon’s work of biblical scholarship in service of the greater body of Christ throughout the world.”
