Life Update

The other day at Fuller I ran into someone who was disappointed that I had not updated my blog in a long time. Firstly, I was pleased to see that someone reads my blog and, secondly, I have updated it as of today! And for those of you who may be interested, here's a partial list of things that I have done since my post about the Talmud in March:

• I have been in the middle of researching and writing a paper for Dr. Donald Hagner's History of New Testament Research class. What I am writing about is the early history of interpretation for Philippians 3.2-11.
• I am taking a directed reading (AKA independent study) with Dr. Seyoon Kim on the subject of Jesus and Paul. I hope to write about some aspect of Jesus' and Paul's view of the Law.
  
• I have been busy TAing two classes, one on 1 Corinthians with Dr. David Downs and a distance learning class on the Gospels with Dr. Marianne Meye Thompson.
• My wife and I went on a trip to Las Vegas and had a lot of fun even though the city doesn't fit us and we don't fit it.
  
• I officiated the renewal of my parents' vows at Niagara Falls in Canada, which was a great honor and a boatload of fun!
• While in Canada I smoked a Cuban cigar that was heavenly.
• I have started teaching a new series at church on Christian theology and comparative religion, which has gone pretty well so far. Yesterday we talked about Eastern Orthodoxy, which was eye-opening for all of us (at least I hope it was!).
• And lastly, before going to Vegas we got a new camera that I am loving!

Well, thanks for reading and I hope to post more often in the coming weeks and days! Look forward to more reviews and some more of my normal stuff too!
