The Logos March Madness shows the who is who of evangelical authors

Logos is doing a competition between scholars, and the one that wins, gets its titles reduced (how would the proper scholar feel about that?) up to 75% off a bundle of his books.

This is a very good way to see what authors are having an impact in the evangelical world. It seems that McArthur is not pulling up the punches many would expect.

Piper lost to Packer, and I was expecting Piper to win over Packer. Seems that Packer still has a lot of fans. It is interesting too that Lloyd-Jones beats Spurgeon.

It is telling that in Division 4, where Wright was placed, he battled against ancient people, the likes of Aquinas, Cranfield, and Kuyper. Wright is the only modern/recent scholar who could move to the finals. I would have like to have seen maybe Bauckham also reaching that place, since he is such a good scholar regarding the deity of Jesus, and the identity of God overall.

In Division 3, Calvin fell at the feet of Spurgeon!!!!! This is extremely telling!!!! In my view, this is a reflection of the Neo-Calvinists, that quote Spurgeon time and time again, believing that they are really quoting Calvin through Spurgeon.

Well, vote, have fun, this is a very enlightening ordeal.
