The Book of Daniel
I have not put up anything in the past few weeks from the Sunday School lessons, partially because locally we’ve had Stake Conference, then I was at SBL, and then the we were snowed in last Sunday — so I’m not really sure where everyone’s at in the curriculum. I imagine that most people have [...]

New Material from William Hamblin on John 17
I highly recommend checking out BYU Professor William Hamblin’s recent research on John 17 that he has posted on his blog, see here. He has some great insights on verse 3, focusing on eternal life and knowledge. His work on verse 4 is excellent as well, looking at the concept of glory.

William Hamblin: New NT Research
In case you are not aware of it, BYU Professor William Hamblin has recently been doing some exciting new research on some interesting topics involving the New Testament. The first is an exploration of the sign of the cross in ancient Israelite and early Christian temple symbolism (this is not strictly a “New Testament” study, [...]

Ezekiel’s Remarkable Visions
Due to my schedule for the past few weeks, I have been unable to continue my weekly posts on the Sunday School lessons from the Old Testament. As I was looking over the lesson to be studied this week, I was somewhat disappointed that it did not cover some of the early chapters of the [...]

An Aramaic Paradise: Adam and the Garden in the Jewish Aramaic Translations of Genesis — Professor Robert Hayward, Durham University The Targums reveal to us what Jews thought, how they interpreted the Scriptures.
