I haven’t been posting on Leviticus for some time because I have been busy preparing books for publication. All that paying work sure does interfere with one’s hobbies! Today I encountered this quotation in my continuing effort to read through Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy alongside the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary on those books. … It is…
Sometimes I like to recommend various Bible study tools, and this is especially fun when the tools themselves are free and of good quality. Free software is often worth precisely the price you pay for it, but in the case of e-Sword, you will be pleasantly surprised. (Note: For other Bible study tools see my…

No, not the authors of the biblical text, though that’s an interesting topic. I’m talking about disagreeing with a study guide author, in this case a study guide author I chose both to publish and then to use in my Sunday School class.

I should note that amongst my professors there was some desire to look at reception, and…
Nice – and way ahead of me – and some of them are doing exactly what I want to do and more. I must explore these. Thanks for the list.

I am making this life’s work available free to be a blessing to the body

I felt the Lord say to my heart”make them available free”. I am trying to

others interested in Bible study.
