    Necesitamos al Esp铆ritu Santo

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    El Esp铆ritu Santo es esencial para la vida y ense帽anza cristiana. De hecho, no creo exagerar al afirmar que sin la ayuda y poder del Esp铆ritu Santo todos nuestros esfuerzos tanto para agradar a Dios como para ense帽ar a otros a hacerlo carecen de sentido y, por lo tanto, los resultados son insignificantes. Desgraciadamente, en muchas ocasiones el Esp铆ritu Santo es olvidado, minimizado o incluso relevado a solamente una teor铆a teol贸gica que creemos porque se encuentra en la Biblia, pero que no tiene ninguna relevancia en nuestra vida diaria. De hecho, llegu茅 a escuchar a un profesor de un seminario afirmar que muchos cristianos de forma pr谩ctica creen que la santa trinidad est谩 compuesta por el Padre, el Hijo y las Santas Escrituras. De esta manera, la presencia del Esp铆ritu Santo es totalmente olvidada.

    The "Why?" of Internships for Ministry Preparation

    Dave Keehn — 

    Mentoring may be a 鈥渂uzz-word鈥 in the business world, but the practice of developing another person for specific purposes of skill or leadership development has been around since the beginning of civilization. It is evident throughout Scripture 鈥 especially in the ministries of Jesus and Paul. However, the integration of mentoring for ministry preparation within academic settings has built in problems. SO WHY BOTHER? For many reasons...

    Pictures of Jesus

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    The latest news on historical Jesus research can now be found in鈥 Popular Mechanics? I鈥檓 used to perusing Popular Mechanics to see flying cars, homemade submarines, and ads for power tools. But Popular Mechanics published a reconstructed picture of Jesus (quite a while ago, but I just noticed it!). I鈥檒l show you the picture and explain it in just a bit. But first, I want you to see some of my favorite portraits of Jesus. My students have become accustomed to seeing these non-traditional pictures of Jesus decorating my powerpoint lecture notes. This picture of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman (from the Via Latina catacomb, ca. 340-350) was painted by a Roman, so Jesus and the woman both have Roman hairstyles and clothing. No beard on Jesus!

    Every Question Paul Asks in Romans

    Kenneth Berding — 

    A few weeks ago I put up a post with the title: 鈥淪omething About the Book of Romans that will Really Help You 鈥楪et鈥 It.鈥 (Click HERE to read it.) I rounded out that article with a list of questions from Romans to help people see the importance of the ethnic issues going on in the background of the letter to the Romans. Some people expressed surprise that there were so many questions in the book of Romans鈥攊t鈥檚 not something that they had noticed before. Well, there are a whole lot more questions in Romans than the ones I listed. Questions are one of the ways Paul moves his argument forward. Do you want to see how many questions there are?

    "Children of God" (John 1:13)

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    This morning, I began teaching Greek sentence diagramming to my students in Introduction to Exegesis. Some students love diagramming, but probably more dread it, at least at first. I picked some sentences to diagram from John 1, mainly because the students had just translated this passage a few weeks ago. One sentence in particular, John 1:12-13, reveals that nerdy analytical approaches such as Greek diagramming can help understand passages of Scripture better. Here鈥檚 the diagram (with a translation below for non-Greek readers) 峤呄兾课 未峤 峒斘晃蔽参课 伪峤愊勏屛, 峒斘聪壩何滴 伪峤愊勎酷繓蟼 峒愇疚肯呄兾蔽 蟿苇魏谓伪 胃蔚慰峥 纬蔚谓苇蟽胃伪喂, 蟿慰峥栂 蟺喂蟽蟿蔚蠉慰蠀蟽喂谓 蔚峒跋 蟿峤 峤勎轿课嘉 伪峤愊勎酷喀,

    Ense帽amos lo que somos

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    He tenido el privilegio de ser profesor por m谩s de veinte a帽os. A los diecinueve a帽os empec茅 a ense帽ar espa帽ol y otras materias en una secundaria publica en Guadalajara, M茅xico.

    "Jesus' Wife" Papyrus: an Update

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    Last week, I posted my initial take on the so-called "Gospel of Jesus' Wife." My first point was that it was "too early to tell" whether the manuscript was genuine. In the last twenty years, forgers have produced some amazingly convincing forgeries, so scholars have become cautious about all archeological finds.

    Did Jesus Have a Wife? A New Gnostic Fragment

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    According to an article in the Washington Post, an ancient manuscript claiming that Jesus had a wife has just been discovered. I鈥檒l tackle this new discovery with some Q&A. What is this new find? Karen King, the Gnostic scholar who published the manuscript, has titled it the Gospel of Jesus鈥 Wife (see the scholarly article here). It is a very small fragment, only 12 partial lines, of an ancient Gnostic book. The fragment, written in Coptic, dates from the fourth century, but it is a copy of an older book, perhaps written in the late second century. According to the fragment, Jesus refers to 鈥渕y wife.鈥

    A Day in the City of David

    Kenneth Way — 

    Where is one place that you can go in Jerusalem to see possible remains of King David鈥檚 palace, Nehemiah鈥檚 wall, Hezekiah鈥檚 tunnel, the Pool of Siloam and royal tombs? That would be the City of David, which is the name given to the small spur of land that extends southward from the Temple Mount. I want to share with you five highlights from this small area.

    Jes煤s es nuestra esperanza

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    鈥淓l que espera, desespera鈥 dice un refr谩n popular. Esperar algo no es satisfactorio para nadie y en ocasiones las salas de espera en oficinas y consultorios se convierten en salas de tortura para muchos que, como yo, son impacientes y perciben el tiempo de espera como un tiempo perdido. Esta creencia com煤n puede percibir a la esperanza como algo negativo y algo no muy deseado.
