Paul may have had security concerns concerning the funds that he collected from Achaia and Macedonia. Firstly, bandits were a danger (2 Cor 11:26). Secondly,...

What are the best studies on the question of the historicity of the events narrated in Lk. 4:16-30? What are the arguments advanced/reasons given by...
Jeffrey, I believe I have seen or heard it said that the events could not have happened because Jesus most likely could not read. I'm sorry that I cannot...
With apologies for the cross-posting. All, Because I know you all like books--and like them cheap :) Eisenbrauns has begun a Deal of the Day (DOTD) which we...

Does anyone know where I can find out about Armenian catenae? I know nothing about them, except that they exist. I have a project running to translate the...
As some will know, we have a collection of 2,000 short letters or extracts of letters transmitted to us from Isidore of Pelusium, who lived in the early 5th...
Roger, Beyond Evieux, I don't think there's been a lot of interest in Isidore in recent years. A partial exception is the Philo scholar David T. Runia. His...
I've poked around Eisenbrauns page and find now that they list the new biography of Bultmann (published in concert with this, his 125th birth-iversary). ...
As I understand things, the thorough-going eschatologists like Weiss and Schweitzer argued that Jesus believed with absolute certainty not only in an...
Hi Jeffrey, ... A nice summation and they were simply wrong:)! The LP is yet another fine example of wisdom affirmations and aphorisms gathered into a very...
Jeffrey, In response to your question, why would it not be possible to hasten or delay the inevitable? If the prayer is more about embracing and participating...
From a layman's perspective, I always understood it as looking forward in anticipation (and perhaps helping to prepare those praying) rather than compelling...
Ron, You have touched on a very difficult text, a text one keeps on mulling over. I also believe omissions may occur because of embarrassment. The question is...

I've been trying to draw up a summary of what it is -- as is indicated by popular literature on Matt. 6:9-13//Luke 11:2-4 -- that those in the pew believe...
Richard, In the service of my aim to ask and answer the question of whether or not "what we think we are saying when we say the words of the LP" is true (i.e.,...

Which translation are you going to use? For instance, a lot of people using the KJV might not even know what "hallowed" means. Or "trespasses." Depending on...
... I'm confused. Are you saying that they wouldn't know what hallowed means because the word doesn't appear in the KJV text of Matt. 6:9 or because the word...
I meant because the word is archaic. Similar with trespasses. My larger point, however, was merely that what one thinks that one is praying for might...
