    Books That Changed My Thinking (4)

    Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words should be one of the most treasured books in any serious Bible student’s library. Among its many values: discover how challenging the translation process can be from Greek to English (and give Bible translators a break!) Newer expository dictionaries are now available, but once you learn to use Vine’s you can comfortably switch to one of them if you wish.

    Reading List on the Apostle Paul

    In preparing and presenting my recent series on the Apostle Paul, I leaned most heavily on the following books. As I studied, it was with a view to what would illuminate and make plain the life, times, and activities of the great apostle. I had no interest (for the sake of my audience) in pursuing the more esoteric topics often written about concerning him.
    Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free, by F. F. Bruce. Published by Wm. B. Eerdmans. The [...]

    ‟I, Paul: The Life and Teachings of the Great Apostle” – MP3 Series

    At the Tanglewood Church of Christ we have just completed a 38 lesson series on the apostle Paul, entitled, “I, Paul.” It was a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the historical record of the New Testament, and the cultural and historical background, together with Paul’s writings – all woven into a narrative of his life (as much as we can know of it) from birth to death.
    Raised in the most strict Jewish family, educated by the leading rabbi of the [...]

    The Gospel According to Apple, Inc.

    On October 5 news spread like wildfire across the internet that Steve Jobs, co-founder and long-time CEO of Apple, Inc. had passed away after a 7+ year battle with pancreatic cancer. The news coverage of his death as well as the huge outpouring of tributes and honors from all quarters spoke to the tremendous influence this man and his company has had on our modern, technological world.

    The 10,000-Hour Rule

    I occasionally have my hearers ask me how I came to know so much about the historical background of the Scriptures. My response is pretty uniform: I have spent most of my adult life seeking to know more about the Scriptures! In 2008 a book entitled “Outliers: The Story of Success,” by author and New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell became a best seller. In it the author emphasizes over and over that real competency at something (including, I would think, Bible knowledge or teaching) is greatly determined by his so-called “10,000-Hour Rule.”

    Bible Manuscript Resources on the Internet

    Let me urge all Bible teachers and preachers to become familiar with how our Bible came to us. Critics speak as if the origins of our Bible text are questionable or doubtful. An overwhelming amount of evidence shows just the opposite. Learn the facts and strengthen the faith of those who look to you for instruction!
    As a follow-up to our post about the Digital Dead Sea Scrolls Project, here are some additional places on the internet where you learn more about the Bible’s transmission, along with images and other resources.

    Digital Dead Sea Scrolls Project

    Both the scholarly world and the internet are buzzing over the new website just launched by the Israel Museum and Google. It is an amazing resource for Bible students (like me) who are seriously interested in the early Bible manuscripts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the connection of the Qumran Community to the history of New Testament times. At present there are five digitized documents: the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Community Rule Scroll, the Commentary on Habakkuk Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the War Scroll. These alone are magnificent and impressive. But there’s more!
