  2. Wenham starts where it matters—Jesus’ own words. The Gospels. The red letters. Then he looks at Paul’s letters. Side by side. Verse by verse.

  3. Before you dismiss Paul, read this book. Wenham compares Paul's letters with the Gospels and finds more common ground than you expect.

  4. The Late Edit: How Belief Turns Revision Into Revelation

    We have become a provenance culture, and I count myself an enforcer of it. Galleries now label machine-made images. Legislatures draft watermark bills, publishers add disclosure lines to copyright pages, and coders audit the licenses of every scraped repository. I am a plaintiff in litigation over the corpora used to train commercial language machines, so my commitment to the chain of custody is on file in federal court. The question a serious reader asks of any artifact in 2026 is blunt: who made this, from what, and who touched it on the way to me? That question is healthy. It is also, in one enormous and telling case, suspended. […]

  5. Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

    "Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

    Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

    The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

  6. This book gave me a fresh view of Paul. Wenham lays out the evidence and lets you decide. That kind of honesty is rare in Bible books.

  7. Some scholars say Paul got Jesus wrong. Wenham says read the texts again. His case is short, clear, and hard to brush aside.

  8. A quotation from The Bible

    I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you. It is by your love for one another, that everyone will recognise you as my disciples.
     
    [Ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους. ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.]

  10. A quotation from Thoreau

    It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    A Week on the Concord and Marrimack Rivers, “Sunday” (1849)

  12. Trump's administration is closely tied to Christian nationalists like Mike Huckabee who are reportedly trying to ignite the 7-year Tribulation.

    Huckabee is associated with a Texas-based group who provided 5 red heifers (cows who have never given birth) to a group in Israel for a "dry run" at a sacrificial ritual required to build a third temple.

    It was this Red Heifer movement that reportedly triggered Hamas to launch the October 7 invasion of Israel (according to one of Hamas' own public videos).

    The article below discusses the End Times theology that is influencing Trump's Middle East policy. According to another source for which I do not have a link, so far more than 100 U.S. military service personnel in the Middle East have filed complaints alleging that their senior officers have justified the war with Iran as part of a plan to start the Apocalypse.

    Christians who understand the prophecies of the Book of Revelation as well as Jesus' own reported statements given in the Gospels know that only God the Father can decide when the Tribulation will begin. That is HIS decision to make, not any man's.

    What Trump and his Evangelical/Christian nationalist supporters are reportedly doing amounts to sacrilege, heresy, and blasphemy - a complete rejection of the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.

Christian Daily: New digital platform expands access to ancient New Testament manuscripts. “The Plano-based nonprofit said the new platform replaces its original digital archive, which for more than two decades has provided high-resolution images of Greek New Testament manuscripts cataloged with Gregory-Aland numbers.

  15. Jesus Was a Psychedelic Mushroom, a Controversial Theory Suggests. Could It Reshape Christianity Forever?

    "...the New Testament brims with code words for psychedelic rituals. By his logic, every godly encounter, every epiphany, every miracle is an allegory for a trip."

  16. A quotation from The Bible

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against things like this.
     
    [Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη χαρὰ εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία χρηστότης ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις πραΰτης ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.]

  17. A quotation from The Bible

    All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
     
    [ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε. οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.]

  18. A quotation from The Bible

    We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
     
    [μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

  19. A quotation from The Bible

    If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
     
    [Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον. καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι. κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυχήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.]

  20. A quotation from The Bible

    Be under obligation to no one — the only obligation you have is to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the Law. The commandments, “Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not desire what belongs to someone else” — all these, and any others besides, are summed up in the one command, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” If you love others, you will never do them wrong; to love, then, is to obey the whole Law.
     
    [Μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε εἰ μὴ τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν· ὁ γὰρ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἕτερον νόμον πεπλήρωκεν. τὸ γὰρ ” Οὐ μοιχεύσεις, Οὐ φονεύσεις, Οὐ κλέψεις, Οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις”, καὶ εἴ τις ἑτέρα ἐντολή, ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ ἀνακεφαλαιοῦται [ἐν τῷ] ” Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.” ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.]

    Romans 13: 8-9 [GNT (1992 ed.)]
