Michael Bird on Studying the Gospels
Byhenry March 7, 2012
Michael Bird has a really excellent post on critical and faithful study of the gospels. I’m not going to extract from it, though my hat tip goes to Darrell Pursiful who extracted an excellent quote. I was reminded of a book my company published recently, From Inspiration to Understanding: Reading the Bible Seriously and Faithfully….

Textual Criticism Summary from Parchment and Pen
Byhenry September 11, 2008

Lectionary Notes
Byhenry July 27, 2009
One of my devotional practices is to keep track of the weekly lectionary texts (not the daily and often not special days during the week), and read them through daily using different versions and different reference sources.
