Wanted: Biblical Resources in Spanish

The other day I received the following from Concordia Publishing House announcing a new publication of Martin Luther's commentary on Galatians translated into Spanish:

Luther's Galatians Commentary Now Available in Spanish

Martín Lutero, Segundo comentario a Gálatas (Martin Luther, Second Commentary on Galatians) is Luther at his best. The work reveals Luther as a mature scholar and displays his mastery of presenting exegesis in a refreshing and informal way.

Luther’s style is both concise and picturesque, and his phrases make a strong impact. Through this commentary, you will readily see that Luther is writing from his vast knowledge of the Scripture and from the depths of his heart.

I checked my database of book recommendations and found, to my chagrin, that I had neglected to include any Spanish language books. I would like to begin building a list of recommended Biblical resources for Spanish Readers. Please offer suggested titles in the comments section or send me an email.

  2. Thanks, again, to John Mark for a few more titles:

    Tedd Tripp, Cómo pastorear el corazón de su hijo (Eng. Shepherding a Child's Heart).

    C.S. Lewis, Cautivado por la algegría: historia de me conversion (Rayo, 2006).

    **Rayo, a HarperCollins imprint, has published many other Lewis titles, such as Mero Christianismo, Los Cuatro Amores, and Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino.

    I'm finding a lot more than I expected. If you know of any top commentaries that have been translated into Spanish, please let us know.
