Tyndale Bulletin Now Online

This is a wonderful way to start off a new year. We may now access online back issues of the Tyndale Bulletin, beginning with 1956.

Thanks to David Instone-Brewer and all at Tyndale House for tackling and completing this massive project. When I was studying at Tyndale House two years ago, at this time, the folks were clearing out closet space by removing boxes of back issues and giving them away as they were beginning the digitizing process.

This project provides a great resource for scholars world-wide. Thanks Tyndale House!

New Book Published

I just received word that A Cloud of Witnesses: The Theology of Hebrews in its Ancient Contexts has just rolled off the presses. This book, edited by Nathan McDonald, Trevor Hart, Richard Bauckham, and Daniel Driver (once all of the University of St. Andrews), derived from papers presented at the University of St. Andrews Conference on Hebrews and Theology held in July 2006.

I was invited to contribute my essay to the book, which I was pleased to do. My essay is "The Eschatological World Already Subjected to the Son: The Οἰκουμενῆ of Hebrews 1:6 and the Son’s Enthronement."

Global Implosion and the Korah Effect


Far more serious and far more terrifying than the "global freeze" scare of the late 1970s and early 1980s or the "global warming" fright that presently holds activists, politicians, scaremongers among the media, and moonbat educators in its grip is the issue no one, and I mean no one, is talking about or expressing any concern about it. The issue is "global implosion." Far more serious than any scare or fright attached to rumors that fossil fuels are quickly being depleted is the horror that looms beneath our feet.

The earth is imploding. Sinkholes all around the world are harbingers of horrors to come. The "Korah Effect" threatens humanity. Because of humanity's greed, earth's fossil fuel resources are becoming depleted at alarming rates. Consequently, the earth is fighting back, swallowing up large portions of land, gulping down houses, devouring vehicles, all to warn humans that they will also be swallowed alive like Korah, Dathan, Abiram and their whole families. See Numbers 16.

Scientists are sounding the alarm, but no one in the media is willing to carry the story. Earth scientists are making urgent appeals to world government leaders, but no one gives them an ear. President Bush callously turns a deaf ear to these scientists who warn that all mineral mining, all drilling for oil, all drilling for natural gas, and every other form of mining for earth's treasures must stop immediately. Otherwise, the earth will continue to implode at alarming rates.

Some scientists theorize that only those portions of earth's surface where no mining or drilling is or has taken place may not suffer implosion. However, scientists admit that they are merely speculating. Even those places untouched by mining and drilling may implode. They warn that if individuals seek safety by fleeing their at risk regions to areas of earth's surface that have experienced no history of mining and drilling, the added weight of refugees may put extra strain upon those regions as well, causing even those areas to implode.

Sweden already has begun measures to move an entire town. Reuters reports,

The Arctic town of Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost municipality, is under threat as cracks caused by decades of iron ore mining slowly erode its foundations.

Such is the fate of humans worldwide. The earth is collapsing because of human greed. Mining must cease immediately. Leave the diamonds in the earth. Stop looting the earth's coal resources. Iron ore should forevermore remain where it lies under the earth's surface. Oil must stay in the earth to support the earth's surface. Stop cutting, scraping, digging, drilling, and scarring the earth. If we do not stop, earth will swallow us all alive, just like with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. We will all be doomed.

Will we survive to see another April 1?

Time Saving Tyndale House Toolbar

Take a look at the latest addition to the Tyndale Tech blog. FInd posted information about the new Tyndale Toolbar . It is a wonderful tool for doing research, especially biblical research. Download the toolbar here. The only toolbar that I have used, until now, is Google's. I have downloaded the Tyndale House toolbar and have been using it for a week or more. I recommend it. It is a great time saver.

Merry Christmas!


καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας. . . . ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν καὶ χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος. ὅτι ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωϋσέως ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο.


And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us and we beheld his glory, glory as of the unique One from the Father, full of grace and truth. . . . For from his fullness we all received even grace in the place of grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.


Merry Christmas!

Tyndale Tech Moves to Blog Format Site

Recent correspondence from David Instone-Brewer, Senior Research Fellow in Rabbinics and the New Testament, Tyndale House, indicates the following.

"Tyndale Tech tries to keep you up to date with electronic resources for Biblical Studies.I've now moved it to a blog-style site where you can add your comments on the issues. All the old posts are there, and new ones will be posted there as well as appearing in email.This means you can add your wisdom on the various topics to share with other scholars.It also means you can hear about new posts using RSS as well as or instead of emails."

I am delighted with the news. Access to these helpful electronic biblical resources is now much easier. Find the tech materials here or here, integrated into the Tyndale House web pages.
