OldTestamentVideo.com?
No, I don’t think I’m going to start a new Old Testament Video site. I already put some on here anyway. But, I do think I’m going to start putting more of my own videos on here. Why? Well, frankly because I have an awesome personality. And, I’m …. well I’m not sure how to…

Nineveh – A Great City to God
Nineveh has been the focus of a post here in the past, but this one’s a little different. It’s a translational issue. I’ve pointed out in the past that many if not most translations are relatively boring. Jonah 3:3, which is a part of today’s lectionary reading, is a wonderful case in point. Here’s a…

Forum Questions – I'm Thinking about Starting One
The idea of starting a forum scares me a little bit because I do not know how much work it would be for me to moderate. But, I’m thinking about adding one. I just noticed that it was actually an option that through BlueHost I can use SimpleScripts to add bbPress (put out by WordPress)…

#1 Old Testament Site … Mine!
Apparently, I have the #1 Old Testament site on the entire internet … at least according to Jim West. And, isn’t that really the only thing that matters? 😉 Whether or not he is right about my site, he is right about one thing. If our blogs don’t contain a bit of self-effacement “we take…

"Bible Alone" – I Ain't No Ox Moron
Doug Chaplin has written a post asking whether “Bible Alone” is an oxymoron. For my title, I couldn’t resist. It is one of my favorite lines from the movie Renaissance Man when he is trying to teach his students about oxymoron. Check it out: Anyway, I agree with Doug. I know … surprise, surprise (I…

Buying a Bible is Confusing
Buying a Bible can be confusing as I was reminded when someone in my Monday morning Bible study class brought up that they may be purchasing one. So, we had a discussion today about which one I would recommend. That’s a little simpler for me because as a Catholic I generally (at least for classes…

Advice on Webinars?
Has anyone in the realm of BiblioBlogdom or beyond ever done a webinar type format? I’ve never done it before, but may be trying it out soon. I was thinking about using something like U-stream, but also providing my Twitter, text message, or e-mail info, so that participants can interact during a talk I am…

Boring Parts in the Bible, Let's Be Honest …
Okay, I can’t be the only Christian who thinks parts of the Bible are boring, can I? I’m listening through the Old Testament currently. And, I thought I was going to slip into a coma this morning because I was listening to the beginning of the Book of Numbers. I understand the whole “the Bible…

The Old Testament and New Testament Separate?
The Old Testament and New Testament are separate in the New Revised Standard Versions currently being produced for the Kindle. Not sure what the publishers were thinking or if they have ever handled a Kindle for that matter, but this is very annoying. Essentially, there are two separate books with two separate tables of contents. …

Dr. Claude Mariottini – Professor of Old Testament: The Name of God: Jehovah
As I state in a comment at this link, for some reason people who participate in my Bible study class in my parish seem to get a kick out of me explaining the origin of the name Jehovah. But, I never really thought to write up a blog post about it. Prof. Mariottini has though…
