Reviews
[edit]In addition to the sites currently listed in the article, here are two other prominent (non-trivial) reviewers of MacArthur's books:
- The Gospel According to Jesus review by Bill Ascol
- Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World review by Thomas Ascol
- Reckless Faith: When the Church Loses Its Will to Discern review by Thomas Ascol
- Hard To Believe review by Gary Gilley
- Successful Christian Parenting review by Gary Gilley
- Safe In The Arms Of God review by Gary Gilley
- Fool’s Gold review by Gary Gilley
- A Tale of Two Sons review by Gary Gilley
- The Truth War review by Gary Gilley
- The Silent Shepherd review by Gary Gilley
- Nothing But the Truth review by Gary Gilley
- Why One Way? review by Gary Gilley
The above are relevant in showing that some of the books have gotten reviews. They still do not justify keeping this as a separate list, rather than including in the main article. I urge some sense of proportion. DGG ( talk ) 19:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- and I regard the recent adding of journal articles as an evidence of further loss of proportion. We don;t do this even for the most distinguished academics or ministers--the most we do is list the 3 or 4 most important. (this is especially ptroblematic, because many of them are stated to be mere reprints or excerpts). DGG ( talk ) 09:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand your sense of the word "proportion". In proportion to what? You want to see only a certain percentage of his works? So in a "list of all published works of John F. MacArthur", what proportion is appropriate? Are you asking for this to be in proportion to other book lists? So if this article is more developed than others, we should sacrifice comprehensiveness and completeness here while others catch up? With regard to journal articles, who makes the decision as to which 3 or 4 are the "most important"? According to google scholar, all but the most recent of these articles have been cited in other scholarly works. It seems like "published in The Masters Seminary journal" is sufficient notability for inclusion. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 13:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
