- Michael Kok looked at Brooke Wescott’s take on the Muratorian Fragment.
- Over at Intertextual Bible you will find an interesting piece comparing the Hebrew text of the book of Micah with that of the LXX.
- Mark Goodacre asks just how much we can trust the portrait of Paul we find in the Acts of the Apostles.
- CJ Cornthwaite talks about a Bible “errors” that are often subtle and are created by either our English translations, the hermeneutics we use to read them, or the shape and nature of the canon.
- I’ve used”Daily Dose of Greek” and “Daily Dose of Hebrew” off and on over the last few years and have found them pretty useful, especially as a way to keep these languages fresh. And now, over at dailydoseofscripture.com you can find tools for Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Latin including readers with accompanying audio and morphology. I think this is going to be a great resource!
- Robyn Walsh looks at Paul’s words to the Corinthians about covering their hair.
- Steve Wiggins laments the scent of print-on-demand books, and I agree. Isn’t it strange how smells can transport you? We bought hand soap from Bath & Body Works that every time I use it takes me back to my nana’s house in the little village of Fair Haven, NY.
Thanks for these. I’ve visited the Intertextual Bible site from time-to-time since you included it in the one earlier round-up.
It’s not really related to anything above, but out of curiosity: Have you ever come across people using a “hermeneutical” approach to the Bible in which verses describing divine killings have to be explained away because God *can’t* kill anyone?
I was asking because just the other day there was an apologist on a forum responding to a critique of penal substitution and they were adamant that only humans are capable of killing. They proceeded to somehow claim that the people wiped away in the Genesis flood were only taking a chance to kill themselves and ditto for Pharaoh’s army at the Red Sea.
It’s popped up in other places too and wasn’t sure if there were any verses or denomination-specific doctrines that could be behind their thought process.
