The Encyclopedia Judaica is a massive, expensive, respected reference work. Immediately upon looking up a word in the new Internet edition, I recognized the contributor who wrote the article: Yigael Yadin, famous Israeli leader and archaeologist. The entire work has...

Logos 4: Well Done, Aesthetic Department!
I'm compelled to say it: Logos 4 is a very attractive piece of software. This wannabe graphic designer has really enjoyed the visual improvements over Logos 3. I hope to write more as time passes about the functionality of the interface, but so far I'm impressed with...
Conspiracy, Conspiracy!
I regularly receive e-mails from a concerned friend alerting me to conspiracies to destroy America. I've often struggled to know what to say to him, because if his claims are not provable, they're equally impossible to disprove! Wild-eyed, alarmist, a little wacky—but...
Living with a Typography Nerd
My wife says she knows what it's like to live with someone who talks like this. Just one egregious example from the Greenville area: Cherrydale Point. Who chose that awful logotype? Poorly trained hamsters? Communists?! And don't get me started on PowerPoints...
Logos 3 to Logos 4
I love Logos, and I’m going to teach others how to love it in January. But it took till today for me to (accidentally) find out that you can upgrade to Logos 4 from Logos 3 for free. It’s all here. And for the life of me I cannot find any page on the Logos site which...
Aniol in Themelios on Chapell
The new Themelios is out. Along with the always excellent Carson editorial and Trueman essay, Scott Aniol has written a helpful summary of Bryan Chapell’s book Christ-Centered Worship. I hope Scott will provide a little more evaluation of the book over at his own...

Just Do It!
I just finished Kevin DeYoung’s Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will (sub-subtitle: How to Make a Decision Without Dreams, Visions, Fleeces, Open Doors, Random Bible Verses, Casting Lots, Liver Shivers, Writing in the Sky, etc.), and I came...
No Longer Calvin’s Geneva
European secularists describe Calvin the same way a lot of contemporary American Christians do. Huh.
BibleWorks Seminar
Thank you to those of you who made it out to my BibleWorks seminar at Heritage Bible Church. And thank you, Heritage, for the use of your facilities. I had a great time. I hope those who came found it profitable. Reportedly, a Greek professor at an area school told...
