I have tried to read the paragraphs below as generously as I can, but I am still saddened by them. Please do correct me if I have been uncharitable. Here's an example of what self-identified fundamentalists may become if we don't learn lessons from the 20th century...

Bible Faculty Leadership Summit
Last week I attended the Bible Faculty Leadership Summit at Bob Jones University. The highlight for me was the address Kevin Bauder gave on fundamentalism and scholarship. His talk was based on his recent twelve-part series of "In the Nick of Time" posts. His talk...
Auto Hotkey
When I'm in Windows I use AutoHotkey to perform several common macros. It's very cool. Try it! After you install, go down to your system tray and right click on the AutoHotkey icon. Choose "Edit Script." Place these scripts in your file, and make sure to click the...
Ouch, Oxford!

My Logos Toolbar
For those of you who attended my afternoon Logos session at the Bible Faculty Leadership Summit (and for anyone else who's interested), I'm posting my Logos toolbar. It began life as Phil Gons' toolbar, then I made some additions and deletions. Click here to download....

This week I'm going to be at the Bible Faculty Leadership Summit—held right here at Bob Jones Seminary! In fact, I'm sitting right now inside the main Seminary lecture room with about 40 men from various fundamentalist schools. We're in for some good papers. The major...
IVP Essential Reference Collection Deal—Ends Aug. 2!
I really do get good use out of the IVP Essential Reference Collection on Logos. My favorite maverick Bible software seller, Rejoice Christian Software, recently advertised the best deal I've ever seen on this collection. Here are a few tips on what you'll get: These...
