As a scholar of monasticism it seems to me that what roots biblical scholarship is rootedness in the text in such a way that it becomes one’s language of prayer and meditation. In this regard I would suggest that Bernard of Clairvaux (d. 1153) is a good model. Let me explain why.

You did it. You managed to miss out on the crazy deals from Logos on Black Friday, and Saturday, and then Sunday again…
That’s why there’s Cyber Monday!
Here is a short list of just a fraction of the deals that scholars and pastors should be jumping all over:

As I reflect on the life of my Doktorvater, Professor Larry Hurtado, a fitting description for his legacy is Pastor-Scholar. Before Professor Hurtado became a renowned New Testament scholar, he was a pastor.

In 2017, David Pleins and I released a new resource designed for students of biblical Hebrew: Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary by Conceptual Categories: A Student’s Guide to Nouns in the Old Testament, a user-friendly book from Zondervan that arranges biblical Hebrew words and phrases into categories from water to warfare, from jars to genitalia. Since then, we’ve gotten positive reviews in several journals, including the Review of Biblical and Early Christian Studies, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, Expository Times, Bulletin for Biblical Research, Review of Biblical Literature, and Hebrew Higher Education. This blog series at theLAB aims to show how this book can be useful for students of all levels. (Links to previous posts will be at the bottom of this page.)

Free books are always a good thing. Especially if you’re a lover of books like most scholars and pastors. But some free books are better than others. November’s free book of the month from Logos is R. T. France’s acclaimed commentary on the Gospel of Mark in the outstanding NIGTC series. Why is this such a good book choice? Because France is a premier example of a pastor/theologian and his commentary demonstrates how to couple intimate knowledge of the Greek text with spiritual profundity.

Warsaw is one of the beautifully melancholy cities I have ever visited. This past summer, the European Association of Biblical Studies was held at the University of Warsaw. The papers were mostly excellent, and the venue was exceptional, but the city itself was glorious. I took my camera along and when not chairing my seminar, headed into the city.
