Have you ever looked back into your family history at all? I’ve spent some time this week looking through old census reports, birth and death certificates, and any info I could find trying to trace back my roots. It’s something that’s been bugging me for a long time. My parents don’t really talk about their [...]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I plan on posting more in the coming days, but I’ve been in need of a little technology break, so this has been a nice reprieve. Anyway, I just wanted to thank the good people at IVP for sending over a copy of The Hermeneutical Spiral (2nd [...]

I’m happy as a clam right now! Why? Well, because the UPS guy just paid me a visit. He brought along two boxes that contained my order from WTS. I’m happy to say that I’m the new owner of: Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels – Joel B. Green, Scot McKnight, and I. Howard Marshall, [...]

Today, I declare that Dave Black‘s has gained a new title: Sir Reads-a-lot! Yes, yes. That title rightly belongs to him. Why?

It’s that time of year again (actually, don’t they have some awards show every other month now?). It’s time for the Academy Awards! Now, I haven’t seen many movies this year. Lack of money can be a bad thing for a movie guy. Oh, well! I’ll catch them eventually. So, since I’ve not seen many [...]

In keeping with the science fiction theme today, here’s a question for everyone. What was your favorite Star Trek film? I’ve got to say that I liked a few of them, but the one that I enjoyed the most was Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991). Now how can you beat that? MSE

Do you suppose a sequel trilogy (episodes 7-9) to Star Wars will ever be made? I sure hope so. I think it would be nice to see how the remnant of the Empire are dealt with as the new Republic struggles to form. There’s plenty of material that George Lucas could use to base it [...]

One of the books I’m reading is Michael Bird‘s Introducing Paul. I plan on finishing it up and posting a review in the next couple weeks, but I wanted to share a quote from it that made me stop and think about what the gospel is. But merely stating that Jesus is king is an [...]
