Genesis 5: Preservation of the Patriarchal Line
Byhenry June 27, 2006
Introduction Genesis 5 continues the priestly account of origins. Now I don’t want us to get the idea that there are two separate messages here, because the two sources (priestly [P] and Yahwist [J]) have been brought together with their own message.

Acts 12: Reacting to Miracles (and Their Absence)
Byhenry September 2, 2017
