For serious students of the Bible … Here’s the Old Testament Gateway I’ll be running to this gateway a couple of times since we’ll be swimming through proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes the next few weeks. Here’s the New Testament Gateway

Theologia Crucis
“Theologia crucis is not a single chapter in theology, but the key-signature for all Christian theology.” ~ Jurgen Moltmann It’s nice to get a hold of this book to focus my mind for this week. It was actually sparked by the following two articles from the Lutheran by Theologian Douglas John Hall to start off…
Quran = Bible?
This is sparked by a question so i could prepare for a kind of open topic combined group meeting a while ago. “The first thing to explain about the Bible is that it is quite different in its form from the Qur’an. The Qur’an Shareef is presented as the direct speech of God. Of course…

Wisdom from OT
It’s nice to have a chance to just sit and be”lectured” to 🙂 especially in under someone like Professor Seow. The insights and info are just fabulous. In our seminar this morning he highlighted the uniqueness of Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes. I need sometime to process this a bit before I put up more comments….
