Baseball Rules and Bible Study
Byhenry November 7, 2006
Over the last few years I’ve tried to learn a great deal about baseball, because I have a stepson who is a professional pitcher. It has taken me some time to learn, because I didn’t grow up with baseball, and there are quite a number of subtleties. When I first started watching, for example, I…

2 Corinthians – The Importance of the Story
Byhenry August 2, 2009
I’m reading Frank J. Matera’s fine commentary on 2 Corinthians, and today was reading about Paul’s recitation of his history with the Corinthians as the basis for what he was about to teach them.

Daniel Wallace on Manuscripts of Q
Byhenry March 2, 2013
There’s a great moment in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (the book, not sure about the movie) when the truly incredible synthesizer on the ship is trying to produce tea. The results? Something almost, but not quite totally unlike tea. Daniel Wallace asks whether manuscripts of Q still exist, and prefaces his answer with:…

Patience for the Nuts and Bolts
Byhenry November 6, 2008
Last night I attended a Bible study in which my pastor was teaching on Romans 1:22-32. If that verse selection doesn’t fully make sense to you, consider that he was simply following up from the point at which he stopped the prior week. My pastor is Dr. Wesley Wachob, an accomplished exegete. One of the…
