I’m frequently asked what resources are available for the Revised English Bible, especially if it’s available electronically (sadly, as far as I know, it is only available as an optional module for the Mac-only Accordance Bible software program; none of the Windows software titles appear to support it).
However, thanks to Andrew Dunning, my attention was [...]
I’ve gone and done something rather uncharacteristic for me: walked into a bookstore and purchased something from the Christian section. In this case, it is N.T. Wright’s “Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church“.
I’ve seen mention of the author many times in various blogs, but have never investigated further. [...]
Voicing God’s Psalms
Calvin Seerveld
William Eerdmans Publishing Company (2005)
ISBN 0-8028-2806-X
There has been quite a bit of discussion of Psalm 51 lately, especially on Better Bibles by Suzanne, David et al., so I thought I would add one more late voice to the chorus. A few days ago, I received my copy of Seerveld’s translation of some [...]
The Greatest Song, in Critique of Solomon

I have mentioned Calvin Seerveld’s translation and study of The Song of Songs several times on this blog, as well as in the comments on many others. I was [...]
As if I didn’t have enough to read and not enough time to do so, I’ve ordered a few more titles to explore:
Resounding Truth: Christian Wisdom in the World of Music
Jeremy S. Begbie
Baker Academic (2007)
ISBN: 0801026954
I’d actually seen this book in Baker’s catalog last fall at a theological book fair, but didn’t pursue it. However, [...]
I’m continuing to make progress through Harold Best’s “Unceasing Worship” book and hope to have a few more posts or thoughts on some of the content found therein. However, in the meantime, he’s recommended a book of prayers called “The Private Devotions of Lancelot Andrewes” as “an exhaustive collection of all kinds of prayers, all [...]
Peter Kirk has commented on a post by Tyler Williams on whether and how “Satan” appears in the book of Job. Peter writes:
Formally, in Job chapters 1 and 2 there is no proper name “Satan”, but only several occurrences of a common noun with the definite article, ha-satan meaning “the adversary”. (In Hebrew, as in [...]

I’ve been tagged by James Pate and Nathan Stitt with the following blogging meme:
Books are scarce in the world. They are illegal in some provinces. They are not easily replaced if not impossible to replace if lost in many if not most circumstances. If you can replace a book or buy one it is usually [...]

I’ve finished reading Kim Riddlebarger’s latest book, The Man of Sin: Uncovering the Truth About the Antichrist (2006), with mixed feelings. Riddlebarger’s earlier book, A Case for Amillennialism: Understanding the End Times (2003), contributed greatly to my current understanding of eschatology and while he does not share my sympathy for the preterist position (see [...]

I’m currently browsing my way through Kim Riddlebarger’s new book, The Man of Sin: Uncovering the Truth About the Antichrist (2006). The main thrust of this book is a consideration of the concepts of 1. antichrist, 2. the beasts of Revelation and 3. Paul’s “man of lawlessness” (or sin). Riddlebarger has (so far) presented [...]
