Thanks, Accordance
I don’t know how I missed this. Today, I discovered that in the Accordance iOS app you can copy a link to a particular place in a resource, paste that link in your notes, and make your notes, in whatever app you use, hyperlinked to Accordance. I love it. For those of you that might … Continue reading Thanks, Accordance
Logos 8 – Notable Performance Improvements
For over ten years I used Logos as my primary tool for studying the Bible. A few years ago, however, it seemed clear to me that my primary interests and the focus of Faithlife (the company that makes Logos) were going in different directions. I wanted a product that prioritized original language research, and it … Continue reading Logos 8 – Notable Performance Improvements
Something to Love
I wrote a note to the HLS students for their school paper this month and wanted to post it here, too. From the February Nova Roma: On the wall of my home office hangs a picture of my kiddos with these words from one of my favorite songs: I hope you find something to love, … Continue reading Something to Love

I tried to explain that the answer depends on what … Continue reading Bible Odyssey: What is the Oldest Bible?
Brill Font Wins
I've been using the Brill font for all my Greek and Latin quizzes this year, and I couldn't be happier with it. I've used various Gentium fonts and SBL in the past, but Brill wins for a few reasons. First, it includes regular, bold, italic, and bold italic for all the characters, including Greek. So … Continue reading Brill Font Wins
Robert Henle on Learning Latin
Swoon! YOU LEARN BY WORKING OUT THE EXERCISES FOR YOURSELF, just as you learn to swim by blundering about in the water, not by watching someone else set a world's record in the pool. THE MORE EXERCISES YOU DO, THE MORE QUICKLY YOU WILL MASTER LATIN, AND THE EASIER IT WILL BE LATER ON. If … Continue reading Robert Henle on Learning Latin
Robert Henle on Learning to Read Latin
I'm teaching an elementary Latin class this year using the classic first year Henle book. Early in the grammar he offers some fantastic advice concerning how one can learn to read Latin with understanding — advice I wish I would have followed when at the beginning stages of learning Greek and Hebrew. Now here is … Continue reading Robert Henle on Learning to Read Latin
OT Textual Criticism LibGuide
Students in Old Testament exegesis classes at SBTS regularly have to work through textual criticism projects. Gathering all the resources to make a table of witnesses is one of their biggest obstacles. I made this LibGuide to show them exactly what they need and where to find it in the library. Have a look if … Continue reading OT Textual Criticism LibGuide
