FeaturedReview: Logos Pro Subscription
I have used Logos for the past ten years, and I love it. I have numerous resources, monographs, and commentaries in my library, and I appreciate the Bible search (which I use very often), work flows, sermon builder, workflows, and more. When I began using Logos, I purchased Logos 7. I was able to review… Read more

FeaturedBook Review: Paul and the Resurrection of Israel (Jason Staples)
This is the book. What is the mystery of Romans 9–11? Why are these chapters so difficult to understand, yet why are they so critical? Was Paul merely inconsistent in his argument? The gospel has gone to gentiles, no wait the Jews are still important? Staples argues against all of these and says that Paul… Read more

FeaturedThe Meaning of “Lamb of God” in John 1
Continuing my series on articles from the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, 2nd edition, today we will look at an article by John Dennis—London School of Theology—on what John the Baptist meant when he called Jesus “The lamb of God” who takes away the sin of the world. Lamb of God John the Baptist… Read more

FeaturedPaul’s “Longest” Sentence (Eph 1:3-14)
[Jump down to the bottom to see the sentence separations.] Ephesians 1.3-14 has a long history of being “that long sentence” Paul wrote. But is it really as long as we think it is? How did Tychicus (Eph 6.21-22) read the letter aloud to the Ephesian church? Did Paul run too many races that all his… Read more

FeaturedWas Samson a Good Judge?
For all of my church-going life, Samson’s had a pretty bad wrap. He had some positives: he was a judge of Israel, a lion killer who had multiple Holy Spirit fillings, and a Philistine killer. And then there were the negatives: he followed his appetite (e.g., food, women, etc), disregarded God’s law (again, food, women, etc), and fell for Delilah’s… Read more

FeaturedOld Testament Prophecies in Matthew’s Gospel
Perhaps you’ve seen a table like this before, but in Kostenberger, Kellum, and Quarles’ NT Introduction The Cradle, the Cross, and the Crown, they provide a table of Jesus’ Fulfillment of OT Prophecy in Matthew’s Gospel. I thought I would include it here because, upon looking at it, there are plenty more fulfillments than I… Read more

Book Review: Hebrews (ZECNT), Doug Moo
Hebrews is an incredibly difficult book, so I was glad to see Douglas J. Moo’s volume on Hebrews finally released. Douglas Moo is a veteran New Testament commentator, known for his careful exegesis and Reformed interpretations. Even though he wrote his dissertation on the Gospels’ use of the Old Testament, he is most known for… Read more

Book Review: Zephaniah (ZECOT), Jason DeRouchie
What I’ve really appreciated about this series, especially regarding its treatment of shorter Old Testament books, is the level of detail it gives to the text’s structure. The authors are allowed the space to slow down and focus on the finer details, and Jason DeRouchie is no exception. Zephaniah is only three chapters long (just… Read more
