Finally reading “Jesus and John Wayne” by Dr Kristen Kobes Du Metz…

Page one and it’s already regressing me with the terrible things that happened while I was a pastor at Mars Hill church.

Today’s David Bentley Hart #WordOfTheDay “farraginous” comes from his footnote to Revelation 5:6.

farraginous • \fuh-RAJ-uh-nus\ • adjective. : consisting of a confused mixture : formed of various materials in no fixed order or arrangement.

Our good friend David Bentley Hart, once again, trying to dismiss, downplay, and/or deny the doctrine of election in his otherwise excellent New Testament translation. Your orthodox biases are on display.

Folks, remember that all bible translations are ultimately commentaries.

Reading DB Hart’s translation of Ephesians. I appreciate his linking of the all-in-all themes and the angelic proper nouns of Rule, Authority, Power & Lordship. It drags the authorship towards a stronger Paul attribution without pretending it is the lost Epistle to the Laodiceans

An untimely footnote in Alexander Schmemann’s The Eucharist. p. 94

Joachim Jeremias argues that pre-Columbian corn was traded in second temple Jerusalem that was imported from Egypt based on the Tosephta Maksherin iii.4.

Enjoying Joachim Jeremias’ book, Jerusalem in the Time of Jesus.
