Pete Enns Reviews Inerrant Wisdom
This is a very worthwhile review to read. I haven’t yet read the book, but the key points noted are interesting in themselves.
Leviticus 3: Fellowship Offering
I’m moving through this fairly quickly, paced by the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary: Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. (See the last entry.) The pace of reading is an interesting issue. In order to study Leviticus with Milgrom’s Anchor Bible commentary, I spent time nearly daily for more than a year. Now I’m covering about a chapter a…
Biblical Studies Carnival XXXIX Posted
… at Dr. Platypus. There’s always good stuff in this carnival, though I never get around to reading everything I intend to!
Starting Leviticus in the Tyndale Cornerstone Biblical Commentary
I recently received my copy of this good looking volume from Tyndale for review, and I have summarized its features here. I noted there that this is not a book I will read once and then write a short review. Rather, I’m going to blog through it, which also means that I will be blogging…
Bible in Literature Quiz
Literary allusions. Quiz is here. HT: Alan Mann. I made 10/10, but a comment in the HT post may have helped. On the other hand, I haven’t read half of the literary works referenced–just the Biblical side!
The Orthodox Study Bible: Wrap-Up (For the Moment)
I received the Orthodox Study Bible free from Thomas Nelson in their blogger book review program, and as I have been using it in my personal devotions and study for my lectionary notes, (which notes have languished during a very busy period), I have already written about it substantially. But just what does it mean…
Bill Arnold on the Composition of Genesis
I have written quite a bit about this topic on this blog, and am also doing a series related to it on my Threads blog, so I was glad to see another summary article (HT: Dr. Platypus). Most lay people are not well acquainted with critical theories about the Pentateuch, as they get the briefest…
Stories in a Chronological Context
Several things over the last couple of weeks have called my attention to time. My pastor preached about it last week, speaking of times of God’s extended silence. I lost some of it while being sick this week which always makes me a bit tense. Then I received a copy of 24/7: A One Year…
Received: The Orthodox Study Bible
. . . and it’s even more interesting than I anticipated. This is obviously not the intended review, but I do find the idea of a Bible with a strong flavor of the Orthodox doctrine quite interesting, and the Bible looks fascinating. The New Testament is NKJV, but the Old Testament uses the St. Athanasius…
Perspective – Talking As If
And Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.” — Joshua 3:10 The king and his men went to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites who…
