Dave Black suggests ten books for studying New Testament Greek during 2012. Four of these are on my regular list and a couple more are on my reading list. I might work on a list of my own when I’m back in Pensacola with my library. I’ve extracted the list onto The Jesus Paradigm since…
Subtitle: Following Jesus into a Life of Peace, Compassion & Wholeness I find it hard to fairly review study Bibles. On the one hand, I am a bit hesitant to have so much text combined with the text of scripture, because everything we do to add to the text, even arranging it into chapters and…
One of the major problems with seminary study of Biblical languages is that it is often short term and shallow. The seminarian, required to take a certain number of hours or just get by a particular test focuses all his efforts to getting past the hurdle. Precious few such students ever gain a real facility…
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.

We’re moving here to sacrifices that are required, first for inadvertent acts in chapter 4, and then for acts of omission that…
Note: I am participating in a blog tour for the release of this Bible. More details on the HolyBibleMosaic.com site. I was very excited to receive a copy of The Mosaic Bible from the folks at Tyndale House, because I had great hopes for this devotional and study Bible. It’s very hard to get me…
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
of Christ. I was teaching at an OMS seminary in Haiti several years ago and
I felt the Lord say to my heart”make them available free”. I am trying to
follow that “word”. If you feel comfortable share this website address with
others interested in Bible study.
