Worth a Look 3.22.10
Doug Baker has a very informative podcast with Union University president David Dockery on matters of Baptist history and the recent conversations regarding the Great Commission Resurgence in the SBC.
Who wrote Hebrews? New research shows that it might have been Luke, transcribing and editing one of Paul’s sermons:
If Hebrews is a speech, then it may have had stenographer (speech recorder). The content and manuscript (external) evidence pointed to Paul while the linguistic and literary (internal) evidence seemed to us to indicate Lukan involvement. This theory seemed to handle the bulk of the evidence presented on this matter, evidence which was often dichotomized into Luke only and Paul only data. But both sets of data, to our mind, seemed significant and neither could be easily side-stepped. We found, then, that a Pauline origin best explained the main content of Hebrews, accounting for elevated style of the document via Luke’s involvement.
Has Shakespeare’s “lost play” been found? Quite possibly.
Professor Brean Hammond of Nottingham University will publish compelling new evidence next week that the play, a romantic tragi-comedy by Lewis Theobald is – as the author always maintained it was – substantially based on a real Shakespeare play called Cardenio.
Guys seek thrills and speed. They go for the adrenalin rush. They get pumped by going higher, faster, farther than anyone else. They want lots of action and instant gratification. That’s also why guys like blogging – instant opinions, and lots of them.
For my Romanian readers, Paul Negrut explains why Baptist churches accepting government funds goes against key biblical and Baptist principles:
Din punct de vedere teologica, subventiile reprezinta un amestec nepermis de Sfanta Scriptura in viata Biericii, amestec care perverteste curatia si sfintenia inchinarii adevarate. Printr-o analogie simpla, s-ar putea spune ca pe altarul Bisericii a fost adus un foc strain.
