And for the light posting this weekend. I was studying for my Prophets final which was today. I think I did OK. It was a lot of work but I read everything I was supposed to read, listened to all the books of the Bible I was supposed to read and I even listened to most of the lectures again. I actually enjoyed it because my Prophets class is pretty interesting. I hope to share some of the highlights in the coming weeks.
But posting will not be resuming too much because I now have to switch my attention to my Reformation final. That one should be fun as well. I don’t mind listening to Trueman again, he’s material is pretty interesting (though, I do get annoyed at the anti-American comments — he’s British 
And not only that but I’m reading Calvin, who can complain when they get to read Calvin for a test?
I will try to get something up later tonight and probably something in the morning and then we’ll see how it goes. There’s a lot of material to get through and I don’t have as much time as I took with Prophets.

Are you catching these stories of escape that are coming out of Mumbai?!
Leave off the specifics of how they were praying (and to whom) and be inspired by the workings of God! …

Of course I understand. I’ve been studying my own profits lately.

None of the prophets in the Bible ever really existed. The Bible is a non-prophet book.

But, Michelle, you are a modern-day prophet, enlightening us all. So many of your readers have no contact with Reformed Christianity other than you. Surely your professor would be happy just to receive a printout of all your blog posts. A+, if you asked me.

You’ll knock those tests out of the park.

The ancient Near East was littered with stories about prophets blessing and cursing nations and kings long before the Bible or any Jews ever existed. Few scholars today believe that anyone named Homer wrote the Iliad or the Odyssey. Famous translator Samuel Butler thought a woman wrote the Odyssey. Somebody wrote the words of Socrates and that somebody was Plato. That’s how the ancients did things. I doubt there was really an Apostle Paul. Someone wrote in this fictional character’s name. We don’t really know who wrote what before Herodotus who was really the first person to write history somewhat the way we do today. That would be not fiction in someone Else’s name.

I doubt there was really an Apostle Paul.
This is a provocative thought, in terms of how Paul models his calling upon that of Jeremiah whom, say, Robert Carroll has suggested didn’t exist. ( A review of Carroll’s volume in the Old Testament Library series, Westminster Press, 1986 … http://www.cts.edu/Forms/Encounter/511JJanzenrev.PDF )
Yet, it’s a minority view … and irrelevant.

Moonshadow,
The Apostle Paul never existed either. He’s as fictional a character as there has ever been.

Well, you’d better share that with the archeologists who found his tomb in Rome a couple of years ago …
