Alastair RobertsTo read any book well, we need a “read” upon the sort of text that the book is. For example, while both could be purchased in the typical bookstore, a recipe book must be “read” very differently from a Shakespearean play. The recipe book invites its...
Jonathan ShirkOn every page of the Bible are words of comfort for our souls, but how those words comfort us is not always immediately clear. The more we understand the meaning of a passage and how it connects to the grand redemptive story of Scripture, the more...
Cory M. MarshI’m a full-time New Testament professor. This means I design class lectures, create syllabi, and craft assignments for all our New Testament courses. But, like many working profs, my teaching duties extend past covering the New Testament. I also...

Tavis Bohlinger"If we truly believe that the church is one body, then we ought to be aware of what is happening in the rest of the world. After all, our scholarship ought to serve the Church and society. This is the concept of unity in diversity and the...
Donald C. McIntyre"Like the Second Generation of Israel, Jesus's covenant obedience would lead to an inheritance of the promise of God, but like Adam, his inheritance could be passed down to the entire nation."
Dale BrueggemannDo we know for certain that Jesus can be found in the OT? In our efforts to “read backwards,” are we finding Christ where perhaps he should not be found? Or do we have license as Spirit-led interpreters of Scripture to allegorize as we see fit, and...
Michael S. HeiserOne of the things I enjoy telling people in conversations about Bible study is that “if it’s weird, it’s important.” Numbers 5:11–31 certainly qualifies in both respects. The strangeness of the passage is easily detectable, but only careful Bible...

Kaleb CuevasIt‘s all too easy to read Scripture as if it was written yesterday. But when we read the Bible through a modern lens, we open ourselves up to major misinterpretation. If we want to understand the Bible, we need to see it through the eyes of someone...
Ryan RotzThe use of language, whether it’s Greek or English, spoken or written, is a true art form—perhaps the only one we practice every day. Instead of choosing colors from a palette or notes from a scale, we choose from a list of vocabulary, grammar, and...
