New Bible Study Blog

Byhenry April 8, 2006

I’m creating a separate blog as I start to post Bible studies online. Threads from Henry’s Web is a place for me to post general commentary and background information on religion functioning in the world. As I got ready to start blogging through the book of Hebrews, I started to believe that it would be better to separate that kind of posts from my general posting here. The audiences are very different. Those who read this blog especially for material on Christianity and the creation vs evolution controversy will rarely be all that concerned with my exegesis of a particular Biblical book. (Some may be interested when I blog on Revelation, as I expect to do in a few months. I’ll post a notice here.)

So let me introduce Participatory Bible Study Blog on my domain hneufeld.com. I have already posted the first introductory entry there, and will start getting into the meat of the book this weekend.

I expect to continue to blog here about as much as ever. I’m simply moving another piece of my offline work online. This material will be made available to my upcoming face-to-face class on the book of Hebrews, and indeed people who comment may expect that some of my students will read their notes.

… on their new Master of Arts in Biblical Languages. In growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist Church I got used to the idea that in order to teach Bible or become a pastor one started studying theology/religion at the undergraduate level and then continued at the graduate level with the fundamentals out of the…

Finding and Protecting the Essentials

Byhenry March 13, 2010

I’ve written several times before about looking for the essentials of the Christian faith, most recently in my discussion of what a successful United Methodist Church would look like. I maintain that it is important to identify what are essentials, and to have a well-selected set that will provide identity for an organization. Of course,…

Using Greek from the Pulpit

Byhenry March 21, 2022

David Alan Black, Greek professor and author of a number of books on languages, suggests you don’t use Greek from the pulpit. Speak emancipating truth in a way that all can understand, and we will thank you for it. Dave Black Online I agree, and add the fact that in most cases when I’ve heard…
