How Sweet, How Heavenly
2007-07-05 05:04:00 How sweet, how heav’nly is the sight When those that love the Lord In one another’s peace delight, And so fulfill the word.

When, free from envy, scorn and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can his brother’s failings ... More About: Sweet

?Apocalyptic?
2007-05-02 19:25:00 A difficult concept to simply convey. If you’ve ever taught from the Old Testament prophets, the Revelation, or even some of the parables of Jesus, perhaps you’ve wrestled with how to explain the nature of “apocalyptic literature” to a 21st-century Western audience.

Geocoding the Bible
More articles from this author:2007-04-03 22:26:00 From the ESV blog: The folks at OpenBible .info have geocoded the Bible. In other words, they went through the Bible and found the latitude and longitude of nearly all the places mentioned. They’ve produced satellite maps and KMLs (for Google Earth) for every book in the Bible that mentions a place, and KMLs for every chapter. Even better, all the data and maps are available under a Creative Commons license. Jonah provides one of the best examples of how maps can help you study the Bible: Jonah starts out near Joppa. God tells him to go to Nineveh, so what does Jonah do? He heads to Tarshish, about as far away from Nineveh as he can get. Knowing this geography reinforces the comic aspects (in a literary sense) of Jonah’s character. They also have an intriguing blog post (with pictures!) that highlights the changing geography over time in the Bible.
