My pastor was away with his wife visiting grandkids and asked me to over the evening service for him, a privilege I happily accepted.

This baseball is a standard weight and sizeContinue reading “It’s the Baseball’s Fault”

It was excellent! There were between 50 and 60 people in attendance. The plenary speakers did a splendid job laying the groundwork for the value and scope of the Septuagint so much so that I found myself better appreciating the LXX as an ancient resource. In like manner, I also came to better appreciate itsContinue reading “Reformation Bible Society – A Review”

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to debate the above question. Thanks again to Nick and Francis. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. There certainly is an opportunity to improve but I was pleased with the number of ideas articulated. I was particularly happy with the fact that my interlocutor tried to meet my argumentsContinue reading “Van Kleeck Jr. vs. TurretinFan – Has God Preserved the Greek New Testament in a Single Printed Edition?”
