… at Zwinglius Redivivus. It does not include me, but I can’t think of anything I wrote recently that I would have nominated, so I can’t complain. Also, I won’t be quoting John Calvin favorably, so this may not be remedied in the immediate future.
(If you don’t get the Calvin thing, go and actually read the carnival!)

I found this post by Roger Olson via my reader (HT: Chrisendom) and it reminded me of my own recent post Inerrancy – Romancing the Term.
Though my experience is largely outside of academia, I can relate to much of what Dr. Olson says. Inerrancy is not understood in the pews of any church I know in the same way as …
T. C. Robinson has a post on the gifts of the Holy Spirit in Galatians 5:13. He makes several points that I think are important, but I did not draw from that particular passage, though I did draw from Galatians 5:22-26 with the fruit of the Spirit. T.C. points to the importance of 1 Corinthians 13 in connection with the purpose …
I gave my first impressions of this Bible last year. You can probably guess my viewpoint from the title: Another Reason to Hate Study Bibles.
Today John Byron of The Biblical World comments on the American Patriot Bible reaching bestseller status on Amazon.com. With the number of Americans these days who are effectively equating being a good American patriot with being …

I found this video interesting, even though I don’t consider Spong one of the better advocates of a liberal approach to the Bible. From my perspective he’s slipped off the far edge of the map. I would suggest there is a position that does not affirm biblical inerrancy, yet maintains biblical authority.

Welcome to the August 11, 2010 edition of the Christian Carnival, number CCCXL. As I did last time I hosted, I’m presenting the entries with some editorial comment. I’ve put a bit of humor, perhaps just a tiny little bit of snarkiness in a couple of cases, but these …

My previous experience has been that I have to reject posts either because they do not fall within the last week before the carnival or that the blogger is …

The Sunday School class I currently attend uses a random selection process for the questions we’ll discuss. Class members put questions in a container, and we draw a question for each week. Last week the question was: Why am I such a doubting Thomas?
As we were discussing how much we doubted, what we doubted, and why, someone commented that what …
So now that you have been freed from sin, you have become enslaved to righteousness. — Romans 6:18 (my translation)
Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. — Romans 6:18 (NLT)
And yet there are those who think Paul taught easy believism!

This text struck me this morning. How often to we forget this part of the gospel?

Ellen brought everyone their food and then sat down herself and joined the group. They were no longer surprised, as this had become a habit with the group, and they all knew Ellen had an arrangement with the owner.
“So why don’t you just let one of the other waitresses serve us?” asked Bob.

My wife Jody notes that in my talk at a local church last Sunday night I commented that people read 1 Corinthians more than 2 Corinthians. I must add that I also said they read more Romans and Galatians than any Corinthians, but that’s beside the point. In any case she’s meditating her way through 2 Corinthians for her devotional list, …

Welcome to the June 16, 2010 of the Christian Carnival, #322. Today I’m just presenting the posts in order with a little bit of commentary. I enjoyed a number of these posts. I hope you do as well.
Starting us out with a controversial topic, we have Rodney Olsen who presents some thoughts on how important it is to …
I’m ending a hiatus in blogging of just over a month. I see my last post was dated May 8, 2010, but I was pretty sparse for a month before that. I’ll get a post up about what I was doing during that time. No, nothing adventurous; just trying to do necessary work to grow my publishing business.
This morning I …

“I’d like the sandwich you have in that bag.”
It was the odd way he said it and the foreign accent that made her stop and look to her left. He was sitting on the sidewalk with his back to the wall. He looked thin, and his clothes were worn, but generally clean and carefully patched.

I have been away from personal blogging for over two months due to an extremely busy schedule working with my publishing company, Energion Publications. I’ll be posting more about what I’ve been busy with on my Threads from Henry’s Web blog.

I located this video today, and while I’m not blogging much these days, I wanted to share it. Alden was one of my teachers at Walla Walla College when I was in the Biblical Languages program there. I now publish his book Who’s Afraid of the Old Testament God?, now in it’s fourth edition.
There will be some references to specifically …
… and I got bumped to #16, which is not surprising given how little blogging I’ve been doing lately. Come to think of it, the really surprising thing was how long I stayed in the top 10! Thanks to Jeremy for his hard work and for “more cowbells.”

My primary training in biblical studies placed an overwhelming emphasis on historical study. The idea was to get at the original meaning of the text as it would have been understood by those who first heard or read it. I should note that amongst my professors there was some desire to look at reception, and there was also some desire to …

J. K. Gayle has a couple of posts on translating the Psalms that are really quite helpful. The first one I read, which is actually the second, is The Difficulty of Psalm 90, in which he discusses some thinking and feeling that may be generated by hearing the Psalm and the first one, which I read second, various poet translators turning around …
I’ve probably mentioned a few times that I studied under Dr. Alden Thompson at Walla Walla University (then WWC). He’s the one who taught me Hebrew, though actually I joined his class in the second year, and also introduced me to Aramaic. But more importantly, he introduced me to what I believe is a very constructive way of dealing with Bible …

A couple of days ago I linked to a post by J. K. Gayle which is in response to John Hobbins on the question of listing things one needs to read in order to understand the Bible. I mentioned that I might sound more like J. K. Gayle than John Hobbins when I got around to writing. John since drew …
J. K. Gayle takes on John Hobbins’ question. Not precisely answers it. He takes it on.
I have this post on my list of posts I want to respond to, but I haven’t yet had time. Let me simply state that there are few forms of writing to which I react more negatively than universally required reading lists–and I have …

This time it’s from J. K. Gayle at Aristotle’s Feminist Subject. I’m not getting into this debate. In general, I’m going to link to any list that has me on it (it’s a nice thank you, I think), and to any list that I find interesting (that’s a service to my readers).
I’m honestly not that sure this should be called …

Michael Patton blogs today about another way not to do apologetics, in this case responding to an e-mail he received claiming that giants had been found in Greece. The e-mail associated these giants with the Nephilim of scripture and claimed that the photos proved that the Bible was accurate.
It shouldn’t be necessary to say that no giants were dug …
