Yes... reading it is dull but I know it takes a great deal of brain power. That is not at odds with one another.

Many of us are well past our pay grade on this subject. You have some here who compare translations and that is the extent of their input. We have others like me who know the biblical languages but are not quite as savy on translation theory. Then we have JoJ who is actually doing translation...

"yet" as in they are moving towards it???

I prefer JoJ to you any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Que basura!

Not too far from that actually (branch davidians). He has guessed the return of Jesus to be 2028.

I couldn't make it to the 6:00 minute mark. There were so many inaccurate and flat wrong statements that I was about to scream. The straw that broke my back was his equating Alexandria w/ JWs and saying they denied things like the deity and resurrection of Jesus. Doesn't he know that it was...

The vast majority of ancient MSs that we have are from codices. I don't know the percentage, but I honestly cannot think of one NT MS that comes from a scroll. In fact, it was the Christian penchant for a codex over a scroll that is one of its defining features in the first 4 centuries of the...

:laugh: That was funny! Glad you pointed this out.

Is that because you are afraid of being challenged in your thinking??? That he might be able to teach you something, if nothing else than what he actually believes rather than caricatures that ignorants paint?

I am not afraid of conflicting views nor spelling names correctly (it is Wright with a W). And the 2 would consider themselves brethren. And they would probably agree on more than they disagree. I love both men and their teachings. I am not going to avoid reading them b/c they debate each...

Not sure who you searched for, his name is N. T. Wright. If the only thing you can criticize him for is his "new" perspective on Paul, then I have little respect for someone who is afraid to read an alternate view. This is the worst side of fundamentalism... unable and unwilling to face or...

Let me add this about biblical theology. It is fast becoming the salvation of evangelical theology and interpretation. It is not just a passing fad. It is a discipline that is paying its dividends in greater ways than systematic theology ever did. Instead of prooftexting verses, its holistic...

MacArthur or Sproul? Either way, not sure which books or which seminary, but I'm sure they could put out some books that supplement other reading. I can't think of any textbook though. Maybe you know some that am not aware of.

First... many reformed leaned toward biblical theology and the redemptive history of Scripture. Second, I agree w/ the Washer quote. Read more and more!!! You at least got that one right. As for recommendations: Don't avoid N.T. Wright just b/c you think his view on justification is wrong...

That's the one... I think you need a challenge. Take Piper's advice and read one or two books well. That means to read them slowly, take notes, and re-read if necessary. It is a great book. Beale's approach to biblical theology is second to none in my opinion. If you want a good OT...

Carson and Moo is a fine read. Archer is not the worst you could read from the OT. But I didn't see much else. My recommendation: pick a book and read all sorts of books (not just commentaries) about that book. Ephesians is a good one with a lot of material. I would recommend starting with...

I want to know what biblical studies books you have read. I haven't seen you post one book in that topic. Your m.o. is usually to read popular level, light reading authors (John Mac... Dave Jeremiah... WotM stuff).

You just have to read the preface or introduction. Once you are familiar with them, the apparatus (at least for the NA) is quite good for a quick resource and easy to follow. Perhaps what you should be more concerned about are the variants that they are not listing. You need some other...
