What if there was a lexicon that required less art and more science?
What you need is a system that allows you to take notes easily (one that is not clunky); allows you to use your notes for drafting essays (one that allows you to find and search easily); and one that protects you from plagiarism, both now and for...
If you missed ISBL in Rome this year, then we offer you here a sense of the importance of the event and the grandeur of the city through the following photoessay.

Sue Edwards | Dallas Theological Seminary How you view women influences how you teach them. Paul uses familial language to describe Christian relationships, and I’ve found this imagery useful in creating a healthy classroom ethos where both women...
One scholar has referred to 2 Corinthians as the “sleeping giant” of Paul’s letters—often under-appreciated but packing explosive theological power.
I realize these are widely held views, and that I am going up against some of the titans of biblical scholarship in the 20th century.

"Genesis 1‐3 has a powerful message to the modern world, if only we got hold of it and believed it." --Vern Poythress
The new habitus of the Christian community "is always patterned around the death and resurrection of Jesus."
"Good theologians are those who are able to think and speak truthfully about God, to communicate that well and to help others to understand God better through what they do."
"I realized that if I were unburdened from perfectionism, writing was like a muscle—the more I wrote the stronger my writing became."
"my study can be taken as a renewed call to creative and prophetic preaching and teaching from the psalms"

Few living theologians can lay claim to founding a theological movement, and John Milbank is one of them. In the 1990s, his work Theology and Social Theory (Basil Blackwell) launched what is today known as radical orthodoxy. How do we reject the...
Why, in the face of material prosperity and the endless production of greater and better goods, would anybody choose the life of the mind? I use the definite article with purpose. There are plural “lives” of intellectual priority that one might...
The series on translating German texts with Logos continues but this time with a list of invaluable resources for your Bible studies.

Matt Perman deserves credit for helping a lot of people do more stuff. But that’s not the point of his book. Matt actually wants to equip you to do stuff that matters. We interviewed Matt recently on his exceptional time management book...

We are pleased to feature an exclusive interview with the co-editors of an exciting collection of essays on Christianity and the ancient city, The Urban World and the First Christians (UWFC).
As a junior scholar, I don’t consider myself either a good Bible scholar or theologian (yet!) so I can only offer my own expectations based on my encounters with others. I’ve organized these into six key areas:
We continue our LNTS interview series with a stimulating conversation with Dorothea Bertschmann on her book, Bowing Before Christ – Nodding to the State? Dorothea discusses the power of the “political” Paul through examination of two...
In anticipation of Mark Goodacre’s paper at SBL on 18 November (see information below), Alan Garrow has kindly contributed the following article on Ron Huggins, the scholar who coined the term “Matthean Posteriority.”
I had the great pleasure recently of reading Jamie Davies’ Paul Among the Apocalypses?: An Evaluation of the “Apocalyptic Paul” in the Context of Jewish and Christian Apocalyptic Literature, his contribution to T&T...
Essay by Genevieve Scheele* Introduction The history of biblical exegesis and hermeneutics is not without controversy, and the apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is no exception. It has more allusions and quotes from the Hebrew Bible than any...
