Not sure about this Doug! Baker is still a family-owned business I think? And Logos is held by private equity. My experience with Zondervan is they are an amazing team with the passion of a family business

Is it okay to believe in evolution? And if yes, where to draw the line with Darwinian theory?
YouTube video by City on a Hill Is it okay to believe in evolution? And if yes, where to draw the line with Darwinian theory?

Got asked to do a little sermon at my church on whether the Bible and Darwinian Evolution are compatible or contradictory www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlEJ...

Book Review: Modern Genre Theory (Judd) Andrew Judd thinks its time to retire classical genre theory in favor of modern genre theory. I think he's (mostly) right.

A thoughtful review of Modern Genre Theory from Aaron Downs on his substack. (I'll take "mostly right" any day of the week!) aarondowns.substack.com/p/book-revie...

I can think of some, in my context, but we have a very different set of legal, cultural and governance factors here … with their own drawbacks (the process itself becomes the punishment, for example). Abuse is horrible and corrosive because it often leaves only imperfect responses

There are puddles and then there is Bible College First impressions of my new studies.It feels likeI thought I was jumping into a puddle.Β I jumped, and then when I had already made the splash I realised the puddle was actually an ocean.Β It’s not like...

"Occasionally, I think I am in a swimming race.
I know I am falling behind and I must wake up my muscles to pull me through the water to the finish line.
But of course, there is no finish line.
This is the ocean. "

In discussions about Genesis with my 5-year-old theologian she shared that of course the result of the curse is that boys are annoying and disruptive in class. She produced a lot of persuasive evidence

Podcatcher didn’t update in time so just missed having you chaps on my ride home from work today. I’m not in security (or even adjacent … I’m a theologian) so your podcast has become a delightful way to decompress with something I’m not paid to care about. Keep up the great work

Amazing how often I have to reassure our American students that Australia is not nearly as full of dangerous creatures as they imagine! Relax!

In unrelated news, a spider ran out of my trouser leg this morning just as I was putting them on.

Absolutely. Not that there isn’t hard work and skill, but it’s the assumption of omnicompetence that is so ridiculous.

The hubris of the rich is to parse great wealth as the result of great competence – rather than, say, a messy combination of luck, specific skills, and dull career choices

Modern Genre Theory and the Bible Andrew Judd unpacks the importance of understanding the conventions of genres as we read the Bible so that we don't get the wrong end of the stick.

That's a relief, because over here in OT land I've just naively been teaching Leviticus as if it were Scripture this whole time 😌
