NT Use of the OT — Test Your View!
Fuller Meaning, Single Goal view
You seem to be most closely aligned with the Fuller Meaning, Single Goal view, a view defended by Peter Enns in the book “Three Views on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament” (edited by Kenneth Berding and Jonathan [...]
With a wary acknowledgement of the current political proceedings in America, I want to jump back to a post that Doug Chaplin made back in May. Looking at John 6:60, he notes that the NEB is “an example of creative translation that is hard to defend on any technical theory, since it is neither formally [...]
TC recently took a look at the HCSB’s footnotes (or lack thereof) for two common conservative evangelical “prooftexts”: Genesis 1:2 (”Spirit of God”) and Isaiah 7:13 (”virgin”).
He labels the HCSB as “too safe” for failing to footnote possible alternatives in these verses. I think that “too safe” is a loaded term, because it depends on [...]
One of the last memes that Peter Kirk passed along was “what type of pizza are you?” Now he’s back with another, this time a “Spiritual Types Test“. But while Peter scores as a Sage, I’ve come in as a Mystic:
You are a Mystic, known for your imaginative, intuitive spirituality. You value peace, harmony, and [...]
Genesis 11:1-9 (NEB) –
Once upon a time all the world spoke a single language and used the same words. As men journeyed in the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said to one another, ‘Come, let us make bricks and bake them hard’; they used bricks [...]
The careful observer will note that this blog has a new web home - after a year and a half of residence at “heissufficient.net“, I’ve been able to secure “heissufficient.com” for immediate use!
The previous owner’s registration expired a few months ago and I was contacted by some holding company, offering a “once in a lifetime” [...]
In the aftermath of my recent post on the NEB’s literary treatment of James 3, I’ve been having an interesting discussion with Kevin Sam about the authority of Bible translations. This is an issue separate from the typical discussions of the “accuracy” of formal vs. functional translations.
What does it mean to be authoritative? There seem [...]
Iyov has written recently about the Geneva Bible [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], so I thought he might take interest in this eBay listing for what purports to be a genuine leather First Edition 1560 Geneva Bible.
Certainly with a “Buy It Now” price of $19,500 USD, one might expect it to be authentic? Though that [...]
Henry Neufeld takes a brief look at a wide swath of study Bibles in a recent post comparing introductory material to the Gospel of Luke. Study Bibles he reviews include:
The Learning Bible (CEV)
Oxford Study Bible (REB)
New Oxford Annotated Bible (N/RSV)
Holy Spirit Encounter Bible (NLT1)
New Interpreter’s Study Bible (NRSV)
NLT Study Bible (NLTse)
Henry’s primary purpose was “making [...]
For the creation was subjected to futility - not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it - in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor [...]
