Jesus Creed

For months WBBM-TV and I have been trying to arrange a date for an interview for Eye on Chicago, Antonio Mora’s Sunday morning show. Antonio, one of the most professional persons I’ve ever worked with, has an interest in all things Christian, and he wanted to do an interview about the emerging movement. So, yesterday…

Here’s a good opportunity. I’ve been invited to chat about Mary online in a unique setting on December 4 and December 6 from 8pm-10pm. The Converse with Scholars program at Reclaiming the Mind is hosting a discussion about The Real Mary and I invite you to join in. You can download the material free and…

We are fond of the word “repent” at times, and we learn that the Hebrew behind our “repent” is to turn (shuv). But that is not the word used in Psalm 119:36-37, but its central idea is present in these two verses: the “turning” of learning.

I have been scheduled for a number of interviews about The Real Mary, Mary, and The Nativity Story (I saw it tonight — am writing a review for Relevant Online) and I want to list them for you should you be interested. All this thanks to Paraclete and DeChant-Hughes. All times Central Time:

The posts last week about buying books at SBL spurred a bundle of questions. I’d like to answer this one today:

If the posture of learning is to listen, the source of our learning, the source to whom we listen as we listen to the Bible being read, is God. There is a danger in some circles to equate Bible with God, and that leads (almost inevitably) to bibliolatry. Most, however, who equate God with Bible…
