5,125 Blog Posts and Counting

Last updated on: August 6, 2023 at 1:14 pm By Ben Witherington

For many years now, I’ve maintained a daily blog (yes I said daily). In fact it’s been going on for over 14 years, which is to say, since 2009 or a bit earlier. And that doesn’t even count the years I was with another website (Beliefnet) as the Bible answer man and blog poster. I’ve learned a lot in these years about social media and its uses and abuses. And I have no intentions of stopping now, as I... Read more

The Harbingers of Fall

Last updated on: August 4, 2023 at 8:50 am By Ben Witherington

THE HARBINGERS OF FALL The harbingers of Fall Are warnings to us all, It’s downhill from here Despite how it appears. There’s no point complaining About the dying of the light No point maintaining That things are just as bright. Instead, there’s beauty in the falling As leaves complete their calling To live and then to die Like sunsets in the sky There’s no point in regretting What’s gone forever more But remember, not forgetting What...

The Greatest Music Stories Never Told

Last updated on: August 1, 2023 at 5:58 am By Ben Witherington

Rick Beyer has a whole series of books with titles similar to this one. This one however just deals with the back stories to popular tunes, and I’ve seldom had as much fun as I did in reading this during the summer. There are lots of surprises in and about this book. For one thing the hardcover edition (which emerged in 2011) is less expensive than the Kindle edition. Only 12 bucks in hardcover. For another thing, the book has... Read more

What Is Christian Nationalism, why have many Evangelicals Embraced It?

Last updated on: July 30, 2023 at 3:47 pm By Ben Witherington

There is an excellent article in the NY Times involving the current editor of Christianity Today, Russell Moore, the former head of the Ethics committee of the Southern Baptist Denomination, and Tish Harrison Warren, a writer for the NY Times. The whole discussion can be found here. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/30/opinion/state-of-evangelical-america.html Here is a taste of the discussion. See what you think. I basically agree with Moore. Your book delves into Christian nationalism as a component of the evangelical movement. How would... Read more

More on Ephesians 1– ‘God Chose Us ‘in Him’

Last updated on: July 29, 2023 at 10:17 am By Ben Witherington

“God chose us in Him…” This statement from Ephesians 1 is personal, not impersonal. The us refers to Paul and his audience, and the ‘in Him’ refers to Christ. Christ is the locus of the choice, not apart from him, not in the abstract, not merely in the mind of God but ‘in Christ’. Now what exactly does that mean? If the choice is personal and of person, and in the context of a person namely Christ, who exactly... Read more

Shapiro and Tyson on Transgenderism

Last updated on: July 26, 2023 at 10:25 pm By Ben Witherington

What I noticed about this exchange: 1) Tyson doesn’t deny that biology is binary– your chromosomes don’t lie. You are biologically either male or female unless you are born abnormally formed physically speaking. Tyson does not (and cannot deny this). So there is no ‘gender spectrum’ in terms of how one is born, biologically or genetically (which includes no evidence as of yet of a gay gene that would incline someone in a same sex direction; 2) this means that...
