Influential Books and Authors: J. Scott Duvall discusses Henri Nouwen

Each week in Influential Books and Authors we hear from a noted scholar on the author(s) and book(s) that have been most important to them for spiritual and intellectual growth. This week we feature J. Scott Duvall.

 

Do you agree? Is this Henri Nouwen's best? Which one has meant the most to you?

J. Scott Duvall (PhD. Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) is professor of New Testament at Ouachita Baptist University. He is the coauthor with George H. Guthrie of Biblical Greek Exegesis: A Graded Approach to Learning Intermediate and Advanced Greek and with Terry G. Carter and J.

I haven't read a lot of Henri Nouwen by I enjoyed "In the Name of Jesus".

My favorite, with Return of the Prodigal in a very close second, is Reaching Out.

But, as with many books, I read these at exactly the right time in my life for them to have a great impact.
