Prof William Hamblin: Temple Themes in Isaiah

The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense: Part 2
This is a continuation of my last post on Old Testament Lesson 36 covering Isaiah 1-6. I had hoped to post it before today (Sunday), but unfortunately didn’t quite make it. Hopefully it is still of some help to those wanting to study a bit more about these chapters of Isaiah. Isaiah Chapter 4 Due [...]

The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense (OT Lesson 36)
Isaiah 1-6 As the Savior emphasized to the Nephite people, “great are the words of Isaiah” (3 Ne. 23:1). It is with this reminder and caveat that I approach writing a post on the first chapters of the book of Isaiah. Attempting to give any type of summary, nevermind an in-depth analysis, of these chapters [...]

N.T. Wright’s First Public Lecture as Professor in St Andrews

For all who are familiar with Professor/Bishop Wright, there is understandably a good deal of excitement among the students and university community here regarding his decision to leave the [...]

“God Reveals His Secrets to His Prophets” (OT Lesson 35)
Amos 3; 7-9; Joel 2-3 Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. This week’s Sunday School lesson covers parts of the writings of two more of the “minor prophets” (see last week’s post for details): Amos and Joel. Background In the actual order [...]

“I Will Betroth Thee unto Me in Righteousness” (OT Lesson 34)
I have to begin this post by apologizing for missing a lesson! My schedule last week didn’t allow me to comment on OT Lesson 33, covering the book of Jonah and sections from Micah. It’s not that there is nothing interesting to say about these books — there certainly is — it’s just that I [...]

Temple Themes in the Book of Moses: Jeffrey M. Bradshaw Answers Questions About His New Book
Almost nine months ago I had the great opportunity of interviewing author Jeffrey M. Bradshaw about his outstanding (and very large) book, In God’s Image and Likeness (you can read that multi-post interview starting here).
