This page features a curated selection of books, articles, and dissertations that explore and support a pronomian (law-affirming) perspective on the Gospels and Acts.

Whenever possible, I’ve provided direct links to open-access PDFs or versions made publicly available by the authors. If you’re unable to access a specific book or article listed here, I recommend reaching out to your local library with the title. Many libraries offer inter-library loans, can email PDFs of academic papers, or arrange to have physical books delivered for you.
