the study of Daniel

So I’ve been studying the OT book of Daniel lately (the title of this post could be kind of confusing).
One of the major questions of interpretation of the book is its date.  Was it written in the 6th century BC by the prophet Daniel or was it written in the 2nd century BC during the [...]

works of the Torah

Here are all of Paul’s references to “works of the Law” in the ESV.

Here’s a pretty funny book title that you need to check out.

Paul in New Perspective?

A few years back I bought Doug Moo’s Romans commentary. This book fascinated me as I watched him work through Romans. So for a long time, Moo’s work convinced me that the Lutheran perspective on Paul is right. However, over the last year I’ve read several Tom Wright books and I’ve found [...]

Big 12 champs?

So my Huskers have secured a spot in the Big 12 championship next week in Kansas City.   The only question is who will we play.  Will it be Oklahoma or Texas?  I think that our chances are better against Texas, but it’s always great to play the Sooners.  We should play the Sooners every year.  [...]

Bible on mp3

Yeah, I finally bought an MP3 player and have downloaded the OT to play.  I found it in the NIV for free on this site.

busy, busy

My life is undergoing a major change.  Parenting means no more sleeping, but it’s loads of fun just looking at our little girl.  She’s awesome.  She has already gained 3 lbs. in the last four weeks.  It’s crazy.  She’s so much bigger.
I’m reading Wright’s Paul in Fresh Perspective again.  Getting new things out of it.  [...]

youth group

tonight we have youth group at our house.  I’ve been teaching through Exodus.  It’s been fun.   One of the major themes in Exodus is YHWH revealing Himself to the Hebrews.  After 400 some years in Egypt, they had probably forgotten about the God of Abraham and adapted the beliefs of the polytheistic Egyptians.  This story [...]
