It’s that time in the academic year when professors emerge from marking papers and exams looking like they’ve been released from prison. It’s also that time when high-strung undergraduates and seminary students suddenly seem to float off the ground as the burden of classwork and final exam prep slides off their aching shoulders. But it’s also that time of the year when students of the Bible ask themselves, “What now?” [Read more…]

Last week, my co-organizers and I had the pleasure of hosting the 2018 St Andrews Symposium for Biblical and Early Christian Studies. The theme and title of this year’s symposium was Atonement: Sin, Sacrifice, and Salvation in Jewish and Christian Antiquity. Beginning in 2011, the symposium was launched as a small conference designed to attract local PhD Divinity students and professors to a range of plenary talks from the St Andrews faculty. In the seven years since, the symposium has become a larger gathering for biblical scholars within and without the UK. St Andrews has hosted five more symposiums since 2011, with close to 100 attendees arriving last week. It has become a truly international gathering of PhD students and professors from Europe, Asia, North America, and the UK. [Read more…]

We have the immense privilege of interviewing Jonathan T. Pennington here on theLAB concerning his recent book, The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing, available now on the Logos digital library. This book was one of the highest-rated Christian books of 2017 by numerous reviewers, and for good reason: it is academically rigorous, eminently readable, and delightfully devotional. Jonathan includes a number of small but helpful schematics throughout the book that have stuck with me since, and some have found their way into my journal as reminders of how to think of Jesus’ most beloved and memorable teaching from the Gospels. Enjoy the interview, and be sure to get a copy of the book today. [Read more…]

There’s a word for describing the latest cultural fad of bringing back styles, fashions, or designs from the recent past: “retro.” Vinyl records are popular once again despite the superior digital technology. Retro restaurants stake their business on the appeal to a new generation of, say, self-consciously identifying with everything 1980s. As sociocultural commentators point out, however, such retro homage is “half-longing, half-ironic.”1 [Read more…]

One of the most significant features of online education is its ability to deliver education to students who live away from their institutions—and, frequently, also away from each other. Significant investments in travel or relocation to study at an institution are not always viable for prospective students, especially when they intend to self-fund their educations. The risks of giving up a current job and perhaps a tuition reimbursement program can introduce meaningful downsides to traveling or relocating for school. [Read more…]
