Did you know that at least up until recently, you could download all of John Frame's new The Doctrine of the Christian Life for free? Each of the chapters was a separate pdf. I have all of the chapters but 20, 22, and 29—for some reason they didn't download. Do any of...

Bible Software in the Classroom
My teachers didn't go through school with Bible software. Yours probably didn't either. If you're a seminary student (my target audience for this blog), that means you're part of the first generation of students to have the power of BibleWorks at your fingertips not...
