  • John Hobbins just threw out an interesting set of posts

    I mean he was throwing them out one after another, and I’m not sure if he’s stopped yet.  They are posts that he’s giving the heading: An outline of a 90 minute module in a course entitled “The Bible and Current Events.” Follow the links and you pretty much have it. I’m not sure of…

  • John Hobbins – the Trickster

    I didn’t know John had this kind of stuff in him.  Kind of reminds me of someone else I know.

  • Bible Translations – A Taxonomy (via AHP)

    Bible translations can be a bit confusing to the lay person as I’ve noted in a previous post.  But, here is a link to a classification system for them that John Hobbins of Ancient Hebrew Poetry has posted from the New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible.  Some of the classifications are debatable, but it looks…

  • John Hobbins' Invisible Fence?

    John Hobbins has written a post in response to Joseph Kelly’s three part (so far?) series on inerrancy.  Frankly, it seems to me a bit like John is sitting (quite perturbed I might add) on an invisible fence.  I certainly get the point, and agree, that in/errancy should not be in the forefront of our…

  • A Couple of Posts by John Hobbins

    Feels like I haven’t linked to John lately, and by not doing so I have done my readers a great disservice.  I don’t always agree with John when it comes to certain issues, but when it comes to language I do more often than not.  I’ll recommend three recent posts you might want to check…

  • Around the Blogosphere (12/19)

    I awoke to a number of interesting posts this morning.  They were on a variety of themes, so I couldn’t call this a round up.  But, here are a few that I read this morning that were posted either last night or early today: Jesus Kills Santa (via Joel Watts) I Just Don’t Understand This…

  • Another Excellent Post on Ancient Hebrew by John Hobbins

    John Hobbins has written another excellent post on Ancient Hebrew entitled “Biblical Terms for the Language of the Land of Judah.”  Many people  refer to the language of the Hebrew Bible in a variety of ways; however, this post looks at how the language is referred to in the Biblical texts themselves.  He then takes…

  • John Hobbins' Plea for a Broad Definition of Ancient Hebrew

    For those interested in learning about “Biblical” Hebrew, though not necessarily in learning the language, check out John Hobbins’ recent post concerning Ancient Hebrew.  Since the post is called a plea it goes without saying that not everyone would agree with all of the information found therein.  However, it is a helpful overview for the…

  • John Hobbins on Prayer According to the Psalms

    Been slacking on my link posts lately.  But, it’s been a busy month at work.  At any rate, HERE is a post worth a link.  John Hobbins offers a few thoughts on prayer according to the Psalms.  In it he notes that God desires both reverence and honesty in prayer.  Many feel like to be…

  • John Hobbins on the Limits of Traditional Apologetics

    HERE is a link to a post by John Hobbins on some of the problems with modern apologetics literature.  I’ve commented on the post, so you can see a little bit of what I think there if you would like.  But, basically over the five or so years I have developed a distaste for apologetics. …
