Belajar dibawah D.A. Carson

Seorang mentor saya, staff Navigators di US, suatu kali memberi sebuah nasihat yang belakangan saya sadari ternyata berpengaruh besar dalam tahap-tahap awal perjalanan iman saya. "Sen, everything that's written by John Stott, buy it, read it." Saya ingin mengadopsi nasihat tersebut dan merekomendasi karya-karya seorang teolog yang paling berpengaruh di abad ini, Donald A. Carson. Penulis produktif ini menghasilkan karya yang bukan hanya solid dalam eksegesis, tetapi juga kaya secara pastoral dan aplikasi praktis.

Saran saya: "everything that's written by D.A. Carson, buy it, read it." Berikut daftar buku yg ia tulis. Beberapa saya sudah punya, khususnya eksposisi, sisanya masuk dalam 'wishlist' saya:
