Those who are following my irregular series on Hebrews on this blog may be interetest in the audio series that just started on the Pacesetters Bible School News Blog. This follows completion of the series on 1 Corinthians. This series has 15 messages, each about 20-25 minutes. They will be posted Monday through Friday in the morning.
The first in the series is God’s Concept of Communication and deals with Hebrews 1:1-4.

It’s so easy to just quote something you’ve heard or to reference a secondary source when a primary source is available. As an editor I’m reminded of…
Study Guide Q2: How much of God’s nature and will can be determined from nature? How do the natural and moral laws of God differ? This question spans this less and the next, which is about God as creator. I suggest doing it as I’m doing it here and taking a look first from the…

It’s always fun to see the numbers on Hebrews, since I would describe myself as uncertain (with the nine and not the 100), but…
When I talked about structure, I mentioned that I’d write a follow-up after my Wednesday night class. Here’s the rundown, though I plan to keep it brief. I’m indebted to David Alan Black for the basic note about the participles in this passage, and in a scholarly article I would need to cite a number…

Hi – I notice a lot of writing on Hebrews – this was my study last year when I read 18 books on it in preparation for Hebrews 2006 at St Andrews in July. Were you there? I did a number of diagrams on Hebrews structure based on van Hoye (1958) – see http://bmd.gx.ca/gmm.htm for my reflections on atonement from the conference. Also I have republished my diagrams – the top one is really quite revealing. The rhetorical skill is remarkable. See http://bmd.gx.ca/hebrews/BOBHEBR.htm
You’re working at a somewhat higher level than I am. I really appreciate your calling my attention to your work. I’ll be looking it over.
