Larry Hurtado’s endorsement of the usefulness of Moulton and Milligan here is spot on. Wouldn’t it be cool to have that resource in digital form for searching? Uh … yeah, it is.
Okay, it seems everyone is posting their “Top 10 Books of 2018” list this week (I’ve seen a bunch on Twitter) so I’ll get into the act. I listen to audio books while driving around, which allows me to get through a lot of material. What follows...

Some of you may know the name Frank Viola. Frank has published several best-selling books in the wider Christian world. He spent a lot of time reading through and blogging about (very favorably) my own book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of...
