Welcome back to another episode of five minutes in church history. On this episode we are

returning to our deserted island and I'm going to send out to that deserted island

no stranger to five minutes and and that is the Dr. Burke Parsons.

Dr. Parsons is co-pastor of St Andrew's Chapel.

He is the editor of Table Talk magazine,

and he is a Ligonier teaching fellow,

and he's all set to be shipped off to his island.

It is good to see you Dr Parsons.

Thank you Steve, always good to be with you.

So have you given some thought to the books that you'd like to take with you?

I have given some thought to it and we even spoke about this this morning

but I recently you've given thought. I've always heard other people's lists and what they would bring and I have to

concur with our seed that probably the first and foremost book I'd want to take

with me is how to get off a deserted island. They'd follow it up with you know

edible fruits and bushes of that deserted island,

how to build a boat, you know, that sort of thing.

So there's all the classics that many of your interviewees have mentioned and the big question for me is how many multi volume sets can I

bring that's really the question multi volume sets count as one that's which is

great you go right so that's that's it's very generous as a full-time pastor I spend

the majority of my time in commentaries they are my closest companion commentaries

are far and away,

the most beloved thing that I get to read in life.
