In Some Things Considered, Bryan Ball offers his readers a unique selection of distinctive essays on topics of theological and historical significance. Designed as stand-alone essays, across the volume Ball nevertheless explores the core beliefs fundamental to Christianity and key principles of biblical interpretation, allowing readers to come to his later chapters with a thorough grounding in biblical theology and interpretation.
Ball then explores a variety of topics, from the geological and geophysical evidence of the Genesis Flood to the seventeenth century controversy about the Sabbath day. Honing in on oft-misunderstood verses such as Daniel 8:14 and Genesis 1:16, he offers nuanced interpretations. He culminates the collection with a discussion of the biblical context surrounding the 'The Decline of the West'.

This is a book every Christian preacher and pastoral leader should read. It is extremely timely and practical, demonstrating how to recover, restate and reaffirm the gospel message for a post-modern world that has largely been confused by poor biblical hermeneutics and undermined by a self-centred humanism, causing it to discredit and subsequently abandon Christianity and Christian values.
