I really don’t know what to make of this article on Rashi’s suggestions about Adam’s adventuresome life with the animals before Eve… read the blog comments for tie-ins to Cro-Magnon, Neanderthals, cavegirls and the Nachash. Where’s Iyov when you need him?

In anticipation of Rick Mansfield’s long ago promised review of the NET Bible, I thought I’d take a closer look at the translation. As such, I was recently reading a rather scathing review by Michael Marlowe that discusses the conscious decision of the translation team to translate specific Old Testament texts, e.g. Isaiah 7:14, Psalm [...]
A popular version of this song was recorded by Michael W. Smith, who turned 50 (!) this past Sunday (Oct. 7). Draw Me Close Lyrics and music by Kelly Carpenter Draw me close to You Never let me go I lay it all down again To hear You say that I’m Your friend You are [...]
