- In addition to the excellent videos of lectures on Revelation by David deSilva a couple weeks ago, Matthew Montonini has posted a series of clips featuring Raymond Brown.
- Todd Bolen at bibleplaces.com seems skeptical about Dan Bahat's recent claim that he knows exactly where Jesus stood when teaching in the Temple as a child. Personally, I think it unlikely that this event in the Gospel of Luke actually happened, but that's another story.
- David D. Flowers offers a reflection on the life and death of Joshua Casteel, a veteran whose conviction in the nonviolent Way of Jesus led to his filing for conscientious objector status and an honorable discharge from the military. Casteel ultimately developed cancer from his long-term exposure to toxic fumes at Abu Ghraib.
- Peter Rollins thinks that Dawkins, Dennett, and Hitchens might very well be the new wave in theism (with a little help from Paul Tillich).
- Over at Baker Academic's blog, Don Hagner (recent author of The New Testament: A Historical and Theological Introduction) offers ten guidelines for evangelical scholarship.
- Michael J. Gorman gives us a status update on N.T. Wright's forthcoming "Big Book" on Paul.
- The Cosmic Cathedral's Richard Liantonio reflects on the Prodigal Son and the resurrection of the dead in biblical Greek.
- Joel Watts presents: WORST. BIBLE. EVER.
- Richard Oster's new book, Seven Congregations in a Roman Crucible: A Commentary on Revelation 1–3, is now available on Amazon.
- Brian LePort posted this video of Luke Timothy Johnson lecturing at Candler School of Theology on Jesus's Beatitudes among ancient conversations about happiness. Then, head over to YouTube and watch this brief and semi-related clip featuring Slavoj Žižek, in which the Slovene philosopher claims that what humans really want is not happiness. Plus, he has a funny accent.
- Lerone A. Martin (Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis) discusses the intersection of social media and prayer over at Union Theological Seminary's New Media Project blog. Are we going too far and making too many concessions when it comes to the use of technology as an aid for worship?
