My other blog

Following in the footsteps of other bibliobloggers, I have a blog specifically for one of my classes and thought others may be interested in my ADC Greek Geeks blog. So there you go!

Bibledex- a video intro to every book in the bible

Wow, what a great project. Mark Goodacre just posted on Bibledex, which is a project by the university of Nottingham to create a video intro on every book of the Bible. Check it out!

Keep Your Greek

Con Campbell has been writing a series of posts that will eventually turn into a book called "Keep your Greek." As someone who teaches Greek and tries to instill the value of Greek to my students who go into ministry, I have really found the posts to be great and definitely look forward to the book. Check it out!

Acadia Divinity College's Hayward Lectures

ADC holds annual lectures in theology, and we have had some top notch speakers. Our most recent lecturer was John Webster, speaking on God and Creation.
The home for the archive is here on the ADC site. All of the videos are hosted on Blip.tv and can also be accessed there.

Putting the beat down on man-made global warming

Michael Heiser recently made a post called Lord Monckton’s Warning to America. I am interested in the issue of global warming and the science of it. Whether or not global warming is man-made or not does not change my conviction that we need to move towards more sustainable energy, live more simply, pollute less, etc.

Anyway, all that to say that while listening to the YouTube clip of Lord Monckton's warning, I came to learn of a lecture given called Apocalypse? No! at Cambridge. It is available as a DVD, but I managed to find it online as well. I listed to it, and man is it good! He has made an Inconvenient Truth into a Convenient Lie!

I'll continue to weigh all information on both sides of the debate, but this lecture is the best I've seen and heard so far. Here is the link.

Some great Greek stuff for students and teachers

mgvh just posted a note on Robertson's grammar and the various ways in can be accessed electronically. If you need and can afford it, Accordance or BibleWorks is the way to go. If you can't afford it, a link was provided for .doc files of Roberton, with the Greek in Unicode. Sweet!

While trying to figure out who did all of that work making Robertson into unicode for free, I stumbled upon a site called www.letsreadgreek.com, and I'm very impressed. There is some great stuff here for students! Like myself, music is utilized a lot. The author, Louis Sorenson, takes modern worship songs and puts them into Greek. From what I can tell, he doesn't use the Erasmian system which I'm used to and which I think is more helpful for students, but that's okay. He also provides a very comprehensive evaluation of available Greek NT audio recordings. This is a website I definitely plan to utilize for teaching Greek.

Deinde's New Look and Feel

If you have taken the time to switch your feed to Deinde's new feed, thanks! The major reason for change is a complete overhaul of Deinde's website. As I have continued blogging, being a student, and now being a teacher, I've continued to create more and more resources that I make available online. The previous platform wasn't cutting it for me, so I've made this change and I hope you will enjoy.
Here is the scoop on what you can find on Deinde (and note the *NEW* stuff):
Miscellaneous Resources

• A quick and dirty glossary of biblical studies
• The continually updated list of free Google Books in biblical studies
• A dataset of SBL abbreviations
• A tutorial on scripture indexing for books, Mac style
• a guide for unicode on the Mac

*NEW* Bookmarks in Biblical Studies
I have always kept good tabs on the internet, and I'm happy to join a group of great gateways already out there (NTGateway, iTanakh, etc). How does mine stand out? Well besides it being dirt easy for me to maintain and add to it— It is a simple, single-page interface based on a tagging system.
Web Searches
Deinde's Web searches have been around for a while now. But I want to remind you that I was the first to have a Biblioblogs search! And it is still regularly updated. As for the Web search, think of it as Google for Biblical Studies.
Biblical Greek Resources
One of my primary roles is teaching Greek, and I create and continue to create a variety of helps for learning Greek. This is the place where I share it with the rest of the world. Currently includes (1) My multimedia flashcards (2) the flashcard roundup (3) a dataset of 300 principal parts (4) Greek animations for understanding grammar [an excellent teaching resource!] (5) 3 of my Greek grammar songs [which I'll be publishing eventually] (6) other vocabulary helps.
German
With the permission of harvard, I publish here Walter Bense's Theological Gemran grammar. *NEW* A recent addition is a theological german glossary.
Enjoy, and I welcome any feedback.
