Book Notes – Hebrews: A Commentary (NTL)
Byhenry January 11, 2017
I recently worked my way through Luke Timothy Johnson’s Hebrews: A Commentary (New Testament Library) along with the Greek text, and I’m going to write a few notes on the book, which may, or may not, constitute a real review. Time will tell! The problem with many blogger book reviews is that they often amount…

Minutemen
Byhenry October 2, 2011
(As of 10/2/11, B&N is offeringMinutemen for $8.76, 32% off the cover price) Nick May is coming out with his second book, Minutemen. (His previous title is Megabelt from Energion Publications.) This book is not at all like Megabelt. It’s the story of four young men whose relationships haven’t worked out (or are deteriorating) and…

Review of A Reader’s Greek New Testament
Byhenry January 7, 2009
GoingtoSeminary.com has a good review of A Reader’s Greek New Testament. I find the concept interesting for new Greek students or those wishing to improve their skills through quantity reading.

Book: Snuff (Terry Pratchett)
Byhenry January 3, 2012
How can I say enough good things about Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books? The fact is, I can’t. If you have any liking for fantasy and humor, you need to get involved in this series. The most recent one (at least that I’ve gotten my hands on) is Snuff, and the only new thing I’d have…
