With various helpful videos in the internet about helping us understand the modern world by asking "what if the world were 100 people" I have had in my mind to make something similar for my own discipline, namely what would the Roman Empire look like if it were 100 people during Jesus' day?

Quality Bible Study Resources for $0

As a teacher and a scholar of the New Testament, I’m passionate about good resources for Bible study. The reality is that most of the best resources cost something, particularly the more in-depth resources. But, the good news is that there are still a number of great resources that don’t cost a dime.

Who is the Beloved Disciple? The Contenders

I am teaching for the first time a class on the Gospel of John, and having a great time doing so. One of the first things I tackled in the class was authorship – namely, who is the Beloved Disciple, the author of the Gospel?

Example Paper for Seminary and Bible College ...

I'll make a confession on behalf of all professors: we dislike poorly formatted papers. And while students may find it nitpicky, there are actually very good reasons for properly formatting an assignment. It allows the professor to focus on your content, rather than getting distracted by how presentation.

The Misuse of 1 Corinthians 11 in Most Churches ...

It has been awhile since I made a YouTube video and thought it was about time! I chose a passage of scripture that for pretty much my entire Christian life I have seen misused in the context of a communion service. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and please be sure to share this post if you liked the video, so more can see it! (below is a transcript if you'd rather read it than watch it).

Logos 10 Has Dropped!

Version 10 is about Integration and Performance

What’s up fellow Bible geeks! I’m excited to share with you all that Logos Bible Software has dropped version 10 — coincidentally on 10/10 of the year — a nice Thanksgiving announcement for us Canadian users.

It has been two years since FaithLife, the maker of Logos, released version 9. While some users, like myself, always like to stay up to date on app versions, many Logos users take time to decide whether it is worth it to update, especially given that the update is a paid-for update. I would summarize some of the best updates of Logos version 10 with two words: INTEGRATION and PERFORMANCE. Check out the video below to hear about Logos 10.

If you are planning on upgrading to Logos 10, there is no time like the present, as Logos gives their steepest discounts in the weeks immediately after the release of new versions. Happily, you can access 15% off for new users, and 30% off for upgraders—PLUS you can also get 5 free books (and good ones too!!) if you upgrade using this link.

My 2019 Presentations on the Bible and Ecology

My 2019 Presentations on the Bible and Ecology

I had a pretty eventful summer which included two presentations on a similar theme of eco theology. It is a topic I have been interested in for a long time, and I have been able to spend some focused time to research, write, and present on the topic. My thoughts continue to be refined as I continue the process.

Modern Chronologies of Paul

Two biographies of the apostle Paul came out last year with two highly influential and respected interpreters of Paul. One biography is by N. T. Wright, Paul: A Biography, and the other is by Douglas Campbell, Paul: An Apostle’s Journey. Campbell’s complete chronological picture is filled out in his 2014 Framing Paul: an Epistolary Biography.

Which Logos Package Should I Buy?

Which Logos Package Should I Buy?

I get asked a couple times a month for advice on Logos Bible Software, specifically what package to spend, what resources to purchase, etc. I tend to avoid this question or answer in a round-about way, as I am wary of telling people how to spend their money.

Is It Worth Updating to Logos 8? (you can probably guess my answer!)

Is It Worth Updating to Logos 8? (you can probably guess my answer!)

Logos 8 dropped last week, as most Logos users would know because of promotional emails. And if you follow Logos on social media, you may have caught some of the live release where they discussed many of the new features (you can watch the release here).

How To Create a Scripture Index for Your Publication

How To Create a Scripture Index for Your Publication

This is a post for my fellow academics involved in book publication. Back in my days as a TA for Craig Evans, I had to do a scripture index for a number of his books. It is a beast of a job that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Seeing a friend working on a scripture index for his book reminded me of a tutorial I made a number of years ago. If you find yourself in the same position now, this tutorial may be of benefit to you.

The Great Migration: Moving from Sente to Bookends Reference Manager

The writing was on the wall for a long time, but I didn't want to believe it. I have been using Sente as my reference manager for over 5 years and loved it. But over two years ago, the developers stopped blogging. Then over a year ago, the forum closed down. Then the support emails stopped. It kept working, including its syncing feature, and I hoped that perhaps the developer was just on an extended vacation.

iGreek Reborn! The latest update to my Greek reference app

Many moons ago I created a reference app for iPhone called iGrεεk. The goal was to provide the Greek student with a handy reference to their Greek paradigms and other relevant information, without having to carry around their introductory Greek textbook.
