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.
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.”
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.
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.
