Okay, so we're a couple of days late, but we didn't want to miss out on International Septuagint Day, which apparently was this past Sunday.

We've addressed the LXX on the blog a couple of times in the last year, so I thought I'd point you to those posts just in case you missed them. They nicely illustrate the benefits of studying the Greek translation of the Old Testament.

If you've been keeping tabs on the Pre-Pub page over the last couple of weeks, you've probably noticed the scores of titles published by Baker. We just announced 9 new collections containing a total of 67 books from Baker covering topics like hermeneutics, Old Testament studies, New Testament studies, theology, preaching, counseling, and more.

Here's the complete list of collections:

• Robert Webber Ancient-Future Collection (4 Vols.)
• Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics (4 Vols.)
• Baker New Testament Studies Collection (14 Vols.)
• Baker Encountering the Bible Collection (3 Vols.)
• Baker Preaching Collection (8 Vols.)
• Baker Theology Collection (11 Vols.)
• Baker Old Testament Studies Collection (6 Vols.)
• Baker Hermeneutics Collection (14 Vols.)
• Baker Counseling Collection (3 Vols.)

I'm really excited about many of the titles included in these collections. Several that make the top of my list:

• Muller's Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics
• Schreiner's New Testament Theology
• Carson and Beale's Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament
• Vanhoozer's Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible
• Elwell's Evangelical Dictionary of Theology
• Piper's The Justification of God and The Supremacy of God in Preaching
• Chapell's Christ-Centered Preaching

Which collections or individual books are you looking forward to most?

By the way, this is still only part of what I had in mind in my post about lots of great books coming down the pike. Still more to come.
