Bagster's Daily Light – Thy Thoughts are Very Deep (BibleWorks 8)

I opened up BibleWorks 8 this morning to be greeted with the Bagster’s Daily Light for the day. This is a resource I am very interested in because it hits me with just a bit of Hebrew and Greek every morning and evening, which is something that is good for the soul. I’ll give a…

If You're Wondering About the Weather for SBL

SBL Atendees Ask a New Orleanian (Sort of)

I thought I’d create a blog post for which the comments section can be kind of like a forum for those attending the Society of Biblical Literature meeting this year. I grew up just outside of New Orleans in St. Bernard Parish, and I know the city relatively well or least better than you if…

Regina Spektor's "Laughing With" (No one's laughing at God) – Thoughts?

This is probably one of the best, most thought provoking songs I’ve heard in a very long time. It reflects the human heart’s need and longing for God, but also the perversions that make God a joke to many people. What do you think? Also, check out the lyrics to Laughing With.
