Handbill Evokes International Furor, Charges of Anti-Semitism!
The names in the image below have been blurred out to protect the person guilty of a sin we've all committed: a double typo! This person is someone I like very much; very sharp. It happens to the best of us! But I still got a big kick out it: I already have a Jew, so I'm not going to the sale—even though she's not a "classic" Jew, I guess.

But keyboard shortcuts only go so far because...
Free Commentaries by Actual Scholars!
I picked up this free commentary within minutes of its release, but I neglected to tell you... Please forgive me! It looks like a slightly beefed up BKC, or maybe a slightly beefed down EBC. Looks, in fact, like a Tyndale series commentary (some of which, especially in the OT, are fantastic no matter what level of scholarship you're working on). Bock, of course, is someone whose work in the Gospels I have come very much to appreciate (see his blog and this two-volume Luke commentary). He's a...
