Any William Blake lovers out there who appreciate his writings as an aid to (orthodox) Christian belief and practice? When I hear of his fans, I have hard time understanding why. I've only dabbled here and there in his oeuvre.

One of my favorite features of this project is that the book order will follow the Hebrew MT rather than LXX. I dare to hope (against longstanding tradition) that other Bible publishers will be willing to do the same.
Connecting Scripture Old Testament. Here we go! 🚀 Michael Morales and I are on a mission. I can't wait to read the Old Testament with allusions and quotations embedded within the text.

Incredible and inevitable— Police chief says ICE agents violated his own officers' civil rights while off-duty. A female officer was boxed in by ICE agents who demanded her papers, pulled their guns on her, and knocked her phone down as she tried to film. https://t.co/o4rTWDxC6y

🫀 The heart doesn’t start beating the way we thought it did. There is no single “starter switch” for the first heartbeat. Recently, scientists captured the exact moment a developing heart goes from complete silence to rhythm, and it happens as a sudden collective event.

That time Jesus missed his chance to write a bestseller on universalism. "And someone said to him, 'Lord, will those who are saved be few?' And he said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow door...'" (Luke 13:24).

There is no revival of Christianity happening in America right now regardless of what you see on social media at emotion-driven student events or the uptick in Bible sales. Pews tell the story. “U.S. faith levels plummet to lowest on record.”
