Byhenry August 16, 2011

I’m doing a few comparisons of the passages in the four year lectionary I mentioned the other day. I’m posting them on my lectionary blog.

Can the Bible Be Alone?
Byhenry February 24, 2010
Clayboy asks whether “the Bible alone” is an oxymoron. Now I sympathize with the question, because I have been dealing in another forum (the issue arises in the last 100 messages or so) with someone who seems to think that a text can have meaning with no context at all, or more precisely that the…

Literary Types in Genesis 1-11
Byhenry April 15, 2008
Pardon me for using “types” where “genre” would be more precise, but I frequently do so in teaching in order to avoid having to explain details.

Byhenry November 5, 2009
Johnny Esposito, a KJV-Only advocate, states in a recent article (HT: King James Only?) that the basic premise of Harold Lindsell’s book Battle for the Bible can be summarized as: When one questions the inerrancy of the Bible compromise is soon to follow When one changes their position on the Bible compromise in other areas…

Guthrie on the Authorship of Hebrews
Byhenry December 12, 2019
I took note of this quote from George Guthrie’s discussion of authorship: As with other matters of background we are almost entirely dependent on evidence internal to the book. So, what does the work reveal of its maker? George H. Guthrie, Hebrews, The NIV Application Commentary, Kindle edition In a way, this is the key…
