If you're in the Greenville, SC area, you need to check out the show that's currently up in the Sargent Art Building. It has to be my favorite of all the dozens I've seen there over the years. My old calligraphy teacher, Mrs. Kathy Bell (wife of Bob Bell, my Hebrew...

The New New International Version
The much-maligned TNIV will be no more. A newly revised NIV will come out in 2011, the 400th anniversary of the release of the KJV. I did not realize that the NIV had not been updated since I was in preschool. The NIV is the most popular Bible translation in English,...

eponymity
I named this site marklwardjr because I wanted to avoid the temptations of Internet anonymity. I've wondered as time has passed whether the site's name looks self-promoting. Hopefully, the content speaks for itself. It would be foolish for any blogger to seek the...
Hat Steal
This is not just a hat tip; it's a hat steal. I had to get this absolutely brilliant content (written by a fellow graduate of my alma mater!) to both of my readers. Moisés Silva is an exegetically and linguistically careful scholar, and this is brilliant, just......
