Smyth for BibleWorks

Honzo April 22nd, 2008

I have just discovered the wonders of the BibleWorks Blog.  They have all kinds of free addons for the amazing software suite.  One of the nice finds is a free module for Smyth’s Greek Grammar.  Smyth is the grammar to consult when dealing with classical Greek texts.

Jerusalem and Athens

Honzo February 29th, 2008

This comes from my favorite blogger, April DeConick of The Forbidden Gospels Blog

The question of the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus is a fine example of this as we have discussed on this blog and others in the past. As a historian, this is not a historical event because dead bodies don’t rise. It is a faith event. Even the second century Valentinians seem to have understood this. What did the Valentinian teacher tell Rheginus about this? He said quite bluntly, “For, my child, ‘the dead shall rise!’ belongs to the domain of faith, not of argument.”

I don’t want to give it all away here, so go there: What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? My perspective

Greek Devotions?

Hank February 25th, 2008

The ESV Blog posted on Duncan Forbes’ new way of doing devotions: he uses his Greek New Testament. He is currently blogging about this idea and I must admit, I am very much drawn to it. I think When I come to a break in my devotion plan, I am going to do this. I think this applies equally as well with Hebrew and reading the BHS (or the LXX if you can only read Greek). Here are Duncan’s posts so far.

Part 1: Introduction/Encouragement

Part 2: The Slowdown Factor

Part 3: Seeing the Perfect Tense (seeing all the tenses I would say).

Part 4: Spotting Word Plays

Part 5: Spotting Jesus’ Nuances

Is this what it means to be a man?

Hank February 15th, 2008

My only question to the authors of this blog in light of this video: are you a man? I know I’m not after watching that video and peeing my pants!

Latest Christian Carnival

Honzo October 12th, 2007

As of yesterday, the latest Christian Carnival is up over at Lingamish, a blog by a Bible translator living in Africa.

The Christian Carnival is a great way to a) find some of the best posts on Christianity/theology out there and b) find some of the best Christian blogs. It is a weekly publication consisting of author submissions that are Christian in nature.
