Found in Translation– Part One

Last updated on: December 6, 2024 at 8:51 am By Ben Witherington

In my earlier book entitled The Living Word of God, (Baylor Press) I spent time talking about how to choose a translation, based on part on who the audience is that will be using it, and what the function of the translation is. Is it for reading from the pulpit or lectern, is it for private devotion, is it for serious study of the Bible, or just an ordinary Bible study with laity (e.g. BSF)? Those are proper questions, but... Read more

N.T. Wright about Jesus and Politics

Last updated on: December 2, 2024 at 8:51 pm By Ben Witherington

Here’s a meaningful discussion on Jesus and politics. It is based on the book he did recently with Mike Bird entitled Jesus and the Powers, which we have reviewed and is a brief but helpful read. ‘Jesus is Lord’, and Caesar is Not, a famous quote from Wright. John 19, Jesus says to Pilate, you would have no power over me unless One from above had given it to you. But what would Jesus say about democracies? There is some... Read more

The Banners of Hell– by Paul Doherty

Last updated on: November 22, 2024 at 5:10 pm By Ben Witherington

Paul Doherty (pronounced Dokerty) is nothing if not prolific. This is the 24th volume in his series of novels featuring King Edward’s clerk Hugh Corbett, and he has two other long running series going at the same time. And yet somehow he is also headmaster at a parochial school at the edge of London. I guess sleep is optional. This volume just emerged last month, and is 368 pages long. It is top drawer historical fiction dealing with the chaos... Read more

HMMMM… Who Does This Sound Like— Psalm 10

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 6:33 am By Ben Witherington

Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. 3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord. 4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. 5 His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at...
