In the interest of full disclosure, I’m at the Shepherds Conference today, so this post had to be  worked out ahead of time.  I could have just grabbed half a dozen links from the backlog I’ve got, but I wanted to give you something a bit more substantial.

As you know, we recently began building out a Recommended Resources section here on the Beacon, and one of the categories/chapters/whatever is Journals. Now, as some of you may know, one of those journals in particular in the 9Marks eJournal.  Yes, that 9Marks…of Mark Dever and Jonathan Leeman fame.  You remember Jonathan…he spoke at the last all-church retreat.

Anyhow, long story short, the 9Marks eJournal has a LOT of good material, but it can be a bit difficult to find what you’re looking for at first glance.  To that end, I’ve done my best to put together a topical index of past issues so that you can find things more easily.  You may quibble a bit with how I defined the categories, but I think this gives you a way to see what’s available at a glance.  I’ll do my best to update this with future issues, and perhaps even do the same with some of the other journals if time allows.

Enjoy!
