The Historicity of the Old Testament

In particular, the book of Genesis.

Some have tried to nuance their interpretation of Genesis (in an attempt to reconcile it with "science," especially evolution) -- but if Christianity and Christian faith is grounded in a historical narrative, salvation history, i.e. what God has done for mankind, then how can one "mythologize" certain books without undermining Christian faith? Contrary to what some Roman Catholics think (perhaps subconsciously under the influence of some exaggerated form of scholasticism), Christianity is not a set of abstract theological propositions which do not need the background of a historical narrative; rather our knowledge of God is through His actions, especially those directed to mankind.

Being the "Head"

Dalrock: Surely they will be reasonable once they see how reasonable *we* are.

Genesis 3:16

Dalrock: A big win for Grudem.

How does the Septuagint translate the relevant verses regarding the consequences of Adam's and Eve's sins?

The Wisdom Commentary Series

From Liturgical Press, of course. How many Catholic publishers will survive the cratering of the American economy remains to be seen, but I hope LP is one of the first to go, given its support of heterodoxy.

Whom to Follow?

Roots of Christianity

Assuming that it did exist, what remains of the pre-Christian Jewish oral (or written) tradition(s) of interpretation and commentary on the Old Testament? Was there something more authoritative or separate from the Oral Torah? How much of the tradition of early Jewish exegesis has been preserved?

Arise

A parish is thinking of implementing a new Bible study program; I assume it is the product of RENEW and not some Protestant program of the same name.

More quick-fix gimmicks for the post-conciliar Latin churches in the United States?

CWR: Lord, Not Legend: A Review of Brant Pitre’s The Case for Jesus by Dr. Leroy Huizenga

The new book by a notable young Scripture scholar addresses both the dominant paradigm in academic biblical studies and the more popular errors about Jesus and the New Testament.
