You just have to love this. Thanks due to Mark Goodacre.
Hat tip to Shaun , who directed me to the fact that Ben Witherington blogged on each chapter of Bart’s book back when it came out, some years ago. The first of the series is here . I post this even though it’s well after the fact because I get a lot of...
The most recent issue of Themelios, the academic journal of the Gospel Coalition, contains a review of Matthew’s Theological Grammar: The Father and the Son. This is an important work that argues that “προσκυνέω [proskuneō] in Matthew means worship and...
We’ve interviewed Peter Gurry before on the Naked Bible podcast, and I’ve blogged some of his posts over at the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog. Peter is a bona fide New Testament textual critic, so he’s a good authority for the question posed in...
Peter Gurry of the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog has a concise, clear-headed response to some of the ways Bart Ehrman defends the thesis that the textual transmission of the Greek New Testament wasn’t very reliable: “Evaluating Ehrman’s Comparative...
I received an email today asking this question: “Mike – is this a good rendition? I read where an early rendition of Deuteronomy 33.2-3, when Asherah’s influence had not yet been fully subordinated reads: ‘YHWH came from Sinai and shone forth…....
I recommend reading Peter's even-handed review of "Fragments of Truth," created by Faithlife Films. I've posted the trailer before, but here it is again. The visual quality is very high and, as Peter notes, it's filled with many scholars whose expertise in New...
Was hoping to hear Don Rickles explain the Synoptic problem for a moment there.
funny!
Nice! Easy to understand, this is how sunday school should be taught!
In the spirit of this blessed Advent Season, I post my Gospel-oriented Christmas wish list for Dr. Heiser!
I only want two small/easy presents:
1. That you would give your own assessment of the Jesus-lineage genealogy problem [Luke vs. Matthew]
2. That you would at some point address the question of whether any of the Gospels were originally scripted in Hebrew or Aramaic, and why that matters.
Please Please!

Has nr 1 been adressed Mike?
“1. That you would give your own assessment of the Jesus-lineage genealogy problem [Luke vs. Matthew]”
this is such an old post/thread, I don’t know how to answer it.
We are basically asking for a post on the Jesus-lineage genealogy inconsistencies between Luke and Matthew when you have the time.
A link to a trustworthy explanation will suffice.
Thanx
Do you have access to scholarly commentaries or journal databases? Do you read Greek?
I ask because there’s a lot on this. Since it is well known that the genealogies are artificial (i.e., they are deliberately selective), a variety of approaches as to the agenda (his communication goal) of each gospel writer have been proposed.
