So if you want to understand why Mississippi is the way it is, why Old Miss is the way it is, why Rep Mike Collins is the way he is, and why JP Staples is the kind of disgusting racist he is, just go watch Mississippi Burning.
You will understand all. And it’s free. Go watch it.
Texas is a special place…
Karl finally manages to say something true.
I’m still getting a lot of use out of the Commentary. I appreciate the fact that you’ve written it to be understandable for people who don’t have theology degrees or read the original text languages, but gives us insight into what we’re missing. I don’t feel like it’s talking over my head or dumbing-down the material for me, but it gives some insight into the depth of information that’s out there. – Ken Leonard

I’m not giving it away for free; and I’m insulted that you expect me to. Unless you want me to come to your store or business and get whatever it is you do for free. Then we can talk.
Isn’t the people who have opinions that differ from yours, it’s the hatred that is bred when we exalt viewpoints to the status of litmus tests.
God has always saved the church, not by theological pacifists but by sturdy contenders for the truth.— Machen
Edited by Crossley and Keith. But that’s not the important part. The important part is that Helen Bond and Amy-Jill Levine have written chapters in it. That makes it more than worth the cost of admission.
After a decade of stagnation in the study of the historical Jesus, James Crossley and Chris Keith have assembled an international team of scholars to renew the quest for the historical Jesus. The contributors offer new perspectives and fresh methods for reengaging the question of the historical Jesus. Important, timely, and fascinating, The Next Quest for the Historical Jesus is a must read for anyone seeking to know the real Jesus of Nazareth.
And, as an aside, thank God it isn’t another book about Paul. Anyway, very excited to read it when it comes out.

My version always preserves the sense although it does not invariably keep the words of the original.
Which he then illustrates as follows:
Leave others to catch at syllables and letters, do you for your part look for the meaning. Time would fail me were I to unfold the testimonies of all who have translated only according to the sense.
Amen.
There’ll be all manner of celebrations! Let’s kick things off with a party invitation!!!!
May 4, 1415, the Council of Constance officially condemned the teachings and writings of John Wycliffe, ordering his body to be exhumed and burned. The same Council ordered the burning of Jan Hus, also for heresy.

Never forget the lengths to which the State will go to preserve its warmongering slavery to the defense industry.
On May 4, 1923 W. Robertson Nicoll, editor of the British journal The Expositor (which included articles by many leading scholars) and of a 50-volume Expositor’s Bible (published 1888-1905), died.
Born October 10, 1851,
Nicoll was born in Lumsden, Aberdeenshire, the son of a Free Church minister. He was educated at Aberdeen Grammar School and graduated MA at the University of Aberdeen in 1870, and studied for the ministry at the Free Church Divinity Hall there until 1874, when he was ordained minister of the Free Church at Dufftown, Banffshire. Three years later he moved to Kelso, and in 1884 became editor of The Expositor for Hodder & Stoughton, a position he held until his death.
In 1885 Nicoll was forced to retire from pastoral ministry after an attack of typhoid had badly damaged his lung. In 1886 he moved south to London, which became the base for the rest of his life. With the support of Hodder and Stoughton he founded the British Weekly, a Nonconformist newspaper, which also gained great influence over opinion in the churches in Scotland.
Nicoll secured many writers of exceptional talent for his paper (including Marcus Dods, J. M. Barrie, Ian Maclaren, Alexander Whyte, Alexander Maclaren, and James Denney), to which he added his own considerable talents as a contributor. He began a highly popular feature, “Correspondence of Claudius Clear”, which enabled him to share his interests and his reading with his readers. He was also the founding editor of The Bookman from 1891, and acted as chief literary adviser to Hodder & Stoughton.
Among his other enterprises were The Expositor’s Bible (originally published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1887-1896, but afterward reprinted in New York by A. C. Armstrong & Son) and The Theological Educator. He edited The Expositor’s Greek Testament (from 1897). He also edited a series of Contemporary Writers (from 1894), and of Literary Lives (from 1904).
He projected but never wrote a history of The Victorian Era in English Literature, and edited, with T. J. Wise, two volumes of Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century. He was knighted in 1909, ostensibly for his literary work, but in reality probably more for his long-term support for the Liberal Party. He was appointed to the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in the 1921 Birthday Honours.
