God didn’t say that blog

by Dave February 13, 2011

I have become a fan of the God Didn’t Say That blog and thought that I should put a shout out to Dr. Hoffman for his outstanding work.  This is from his site: Joel M. Hoffman holds a PhD in theoretical linguistics, and has taught Bible in religious settings and translation theory at Brandeis University [...]

What do we do then? A new Singularity

by Dave February 12, 2011

Many describe the thing that became the big bang as a Singularity.  Now there is a new singularity.  This is not a new idea.  People have been thinking about the time when computers will take over for us since the time we first thought of computers.  But this article puts it into focus and touches [...]

McKnight’s Blue Parakeet – Impressions

by Dave January 29, 2011

I must say that I enjoyed Scot McKnight’s book, The Blue Parakeet tremendously.  Scot is an incredibly thoughtful and down to earth scholar and author.  It is rare to find someone with whom you agree as much as I agree with Scot.

Update on Piper and McKnight, Blue Parakeet

by Dave January 12, 2011

As I said in the previous post, I started out with McKnight.  I am a big fan of Scot now and his Blue Parakeet is in keeping with my high expectation for him.  However, his book is only in printed form whereas the Piper apologetic is in audio.  So while I am halfway through with [...]

The Kingdom of David

by Dave October 23, 2010

On John Byron’s blog, The Biblical World, there is a video series about the kingdom of David and I thought it looked good enough to provide links to the videos here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 I have only watched Part 1 so far, but it looks quite good.  Each episode [...]

What is the gospel?

by Dave September 17, 2010

As I have written here before, I think Christianity has largely missed the point about what to teach people about Jesus.  In my last church (WHC) they would sing about how he is a great god and he loves them so much.  That is the subject of a new book out call Almost Christian: What the [...]

Interim Post

by Dave August 15, 2010

I will be continuing my posting series about the book of Romans soon, and I am mostly done with the post but want to read it again before I post. There have been so many things going on.  First, I have been absolutely engrossed by the idea that we can not find it within our [...]

Romans Part 1 – Revisited

by Dave July 23, 2010

I was recently reading an interview of Bishop Tom Wright regarding the new perspectives on Paul and it brought to light an angle that I have not covered in my earlier post on the beginning of Romans. One of the key elements to consider in the so called new perspective on Paul is that Paul [...]
