For those pastors who will be coming to our ministerial conference this fall (on biblical typology), we are offering two intensive language courses in Hebrew and Greek in coordination with the conference. We are doing this because we are convinced (as were the Reformers) that for ministers competence in the original languages of Scriptures is …
St. Anne’s Public House
I have long enjoyed listening to Ken Myer’s work with his Mars Hill Audio Journal. Let me plug it again here, and all you have to do is click on this magic button. But not many of you know that out there in the world of audio journals Mars Hill has a merry little sister …
Time Zones
Had a wonderful visit to Atlanta, and the ACCS conference was one of the best yet. Anyhow, being out of town precluded posting to this thing, which accounts for my uncharacteristic silence. But there it is. I’m back, anyhow. But it is a strange thing waking up in Georgia and going to bed in Idaho.
Boys and Poetry

New Feature
If you go to Archives now, you will notice that posts are sorted by topic, and not only by date. Just a couple things to note about this. First, in the first couple months, while I was figuring this thing out, some posts were listed under “General Ruminations” which later, when I realized how much …
The Blurb Drum
For those of you who have students in your home who love the Word (and who therefore love words), I need to beat the blurb drum for a moment — just to alert you to a first-rate opportunity. A good friend and colleague has started up an internet tutorial service in creative writing, and I …
Just Got Back
Just got back from a delightful visit to some good folks in St. Louis. Although we had a grand time, and hit a couple really good used book stores, ready access to a computer was not one of the perks. Therefore, you have had a break. But no more.
