Doing a Book Review: Hauerwas' Commentary on Matthew

I offered to do a book review for Brethren in Christ History & Life on Stanley Hauerwas’ new commentary on Matthew and I’ve been green-lighted! I saw it as a book available for review for RBL, but I knew that RBL would never let me (biblical studies pion, that I am) do this review. Too [...]

Watching the Jesus tomb flurries

Wow. I don’t get the Discovery Channel, so I didn’t watch the Jesus Tomb documentary (it says you can watch “exclusive video” on the website, but none of the links for their snazzy flash presentation are working for me right now).

Changing my blog's name

I wrote a post a couple weeks ago soliciting opinions about whether I should change my blog’s name (”kata ton biblon”) to something else. I had discovered that it was grammatically incorrect. My intention was for the title to mean “according to the book,” referring to interpretation of biblical texts and also those who live [...]
