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, [...]

The Temple Studies Group Symposium IV: John W. Welch
Adam in the New Testament: Echoes of Eden and the Temple — John W. Welch Verbal Echoes of Genesis 1-3 in the New Testament –Ordinary words; distinctive words; quoted words; Temple-related words.

Professor Jim Davila on Christology: Son of God and Son of Man
The title of this post may be somewhat misleading, as what I am posting here is actually Professor Davila’s brief response to Mark D. Roberts’ recent blog posts on Christology at Beliefnet.com. However, although not extensive in length, his comments are insightful and I thought they’d be interesting to post here. Following Davila’s comments, I [...]

“How Beautiful Upon the Mountains”: Some Thoughts on OT Lesson 39
Isaiah 50-53 In 1979, a biblical scholar named John Eaton published a work entitled Festal Drama in Deutero-Isaiah. Eaton, following the work of Ivan Engnell and others, saw in the “Servant Songs” and other themes of chapters 40-55, 60-62 of Isaiah allusions to the themes of the Ancient Israelite New Year Festival (which I’ve so [...]

“Beside Me There is No Saviour”: Old Testament Lesson 38
Isaiah 40-49 Sorry for the dearth of posts recently — the semester at St Andrews has now started up and I have found myself overwhelmed trying to set a new schedule and routine for myself.
