Naked Bible Podcast Episode 011: Introducing the Series on the Lord’s Supper
I know this topic feels familiar -- one of those, "What can you say about that?" topics. However, this one is in my Top Ten list of least-examined doctrines. This brief introductory episode will give you a little feel for why. Dr. Michael Heiser begins a new teaching...
James Tabor’s Essay on Early Christianity’s View of Resurrection: A Review
I have to this point confined my thoughts on the "Jesus Family Tomb" (Talpiot A) and the more recent adjacent tomb (Talpiot B) to my PaleoBabble blog, but my thoughts on James Tabor's recent blog post entitled, "Why People are Confused about the Earliest Christian...
