An older listing of
new material (now somewhat outdated): 5/16/2008, Contemporary Dispensational Theology (originally published in 1992--so take the "contemporary" with a grain of "contextual salt"!--out of print for many years). ca. 60 pgs., pdf file. See my explanation on my blog. 2/24/2008, Citation Formulas Introducing OT Quotations in the NT (6 pg. pdf) See blog description. 2/4/08, Reflections on Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials (better known from the movie title, The Golden Compass); a 33-page analysis of the book and the movie--based on reading the entire trilogy and seeing the movie. pdf format, about 219 KB. 10/29/2007, Index of Mark's Use of the OT (see my blog entry for details) 9/13/2007, revised Intro to BDAG ppt file posted. 9/12/2007, mp3 audio of "Rehabilitation of Heresy" (see below), including my "pseudo response," Andy's formal response, and ensuing discussion. 8/10/2007, "The Rehabilitation of Heresy: 'Misquoting' Earliest Christianity" - This is the paper that I presented at the Bible Faculty Summit this year (July '07). It has some rough spots and some informal sections. I need to polish it when I get time. It's a critique of Ehrman's "Bauerian" view of early Christinaity.

E. Glenny and response paper by R. J. Decker). Note: This page has now become the official repository for the DSG. The 2007 papers by D. Brent Sandy and Mike Stallard are posted, and future years will be here also. |

These pages use Unicode UTF-8 encoding; most Greek text is now in Unicode format, though some remnants of the older, non-standard Galilee encoding remain. You should not have difficulties viewing this material if you have a relatively current web browser and a font that contains polytonic Greek. Certain disclaimers apply. Please note that I am unable to serve as a Q & A resource. As my schedule permits, I will attempt to answer questions related specifically to my own writings posted on this site, but I cannot answer general Bible or Greek questions from anyone who is curious. Sorry!
This page serves as one of two "main/master pages" for many people's bookmarks as well as for search engine submissions. As a result there are a number of keywords specified that do not actually appear on this page (but do on the sub-pages linked from it). Some search engines don't like that (i.e., not finding the keywords in the meta tags on the same page), so the following list includes them in the body of the page to mollify such concerns (and it also gives you some idea of what you'll find elsewhere on this site): kenosis, euthus, verbal aspect, temporal deixis, Greek, koine, koine greek, New Testament, NT, Greek verb, Greek grammar, Greek syntax, exegesis, NT exegesis, Stanley Porter, Thomas Middleton, Greek article, Colwell's rule, participle, Jesus Seminar, cyberspace, hypertext, Galilee, font, Unicode, koine Greek reader.
