As promised in my last Giving the Sense post, I’m going to try to explain the Septuagint.

This post develops a perspective on the powers from the first chapters of Luke’s gospel.

I often heard Christians say that they skip the portion of the Old Testament dealing with God’s giving of the law to Israel in Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19-Numbers 10) and on the plains of Moab just before Israel enter the Promised Land (Deuteronomy). But to do so is to skip a large portion of God’s [...]

I’ve been dipping in and out of this book for the last few weeks, and I’m impressed: Michael Williams. How to Read the Bible through the Jesus Lens: A Guide to Christ-Focused Reading of Scripture.
