2 & 3 John

I had the great fortune yesterday (6/12/2016) of teaching  Mark Lanier’s Sunday School class at Champions Forest Baptist Church.  Mark is one of the best communicators and Bible teachers you will ever hear so I am grateful and humbled for the opportunity.  He and his wife Becky are currently in Oxford awaiting the birth of their first grand baby.

Brent Johnson and his staff at Champions Forest were excellent to work with. They have already made the video available.

I taught on 2 & 3 John because Mark has been working his way through the New Testament for nearly 49 weeks now.  I’m grateful to have the opportunity to talk about these little, neglected books.

Extent of Theological Diversity

I am fortunate to be associated with an SBL Consultation unit called “The Extent of Theological Diversity in Earliest Christianity.”  The unit explores the variety of ways people could be “Christian” in the first two centuries (AD or CE).

I found out recently that the steering committee, headed by Jeff Peterson of Austin Graduate School of Theology, set up a website a few years ago.  It gives links to various, good papers by leading scholars.

If you are  interested take a look here.

The Imitation of Christ

Last year I had the privilege of giving a chapel address at Acadia Divinity School.  My topic was the imitation of Christ.  Here is a link to the audio file:

You may need to scroll down the page to find my talk.  Actually, there are some wonderful addresses on this site.  It would be worth bookmarking and coming back to in the future.

Paul’s Gospel

A few years ago (March 2009) I was invited by Father Donald Nesti, director of the Center for Faith and Culture at St. Mary’s Seminary, Houston, TX, to give a lecture on Paul’s Gospel at St. Mary’s Seminary in Houston, Texas.  I was one of four lecturers on the topic.  The first lecture was by Ben Witherington, the second Carol Osiek, and the final lecture was given by Daniel Cardinal DiNardo (I think it was before he was Cardinal). It was a great experience for me.  I thought I’d share the link with you.  They did a marvelous job capturing the PowerPoint with the lecture.  Comments are always welcome.
