History: The Pfarrernotbund
The Pfarrernotbund (English: Emergency Covenant of Pastors) was an organisation founded on 11 September 1933 to unite German evangelical theologians, pastors and church office-holders against the introduction of the Aryan paragraph into the 28 Protestant regional church bodies and the Deutsche Evangelische Kirche (DEK) and against the efforts by Reich-bishop Ludwig Müller and the German Christians (DC) since April 1933 to merge the German evangelical churches into one “Reich’s church”, that would be Nazi in ideology and entirely lacking any Jewish or Christian origins. As a Christian resistance to National Socialism it was the forerunner of the Confessing Church, founded the following year. (Start here and then find more to read)

The Bible and Interpretation – John Walton on Genesis 1
It is my belief that when we read Genesis 1 as the ancient piece of literature that it is, we will find new understanding of the passage that will result in a clearer understanding of how the initial audience would have heard it. In the process, we will also find that many of the perceived conflicts with modern science will be able to be resolved. I have explored this in a recent book titled The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate (IVP) and the technical aspects of ancient Near Eastern literature and the Hebrew text will be explored in greater depth in a forthcoming monograph, Genesis One As Ancient Cosmology (Eisenbrauns).
You can read the essay here:
As for me, I’m going to here Walton lecture tonight. I’ll blog about it when I can.

Donaldson: Judaism and the Gentiles: Jewish Patterns of Universalism (to 135 CE)
I reckon I’m going to have to save up for this one. It’s a pretty hefty one in price, but I imagine worth it.

Lou Engle’s The Call Going To Uganda in 2010
Click for more on Uganda, but now, Lou Engle seems to be getting involved,
I attended the International Call Summit, October 28 -30 hosted by Lou Engle and Stacey Campbell. Over 20 participants for other nations were gathered who are interested in holding a Call in their nation. This summit was very informative as we were filled with the DNA of the CALL and encouraged to follow through with what God has placed on our heart. On October 30th I flew to Chicago to attend the last two days of Pastor John Mulinde’s prayer summit. We met on Saturday to discuss in more detail and make preparations for the CALL Uganda to be held May 29, 2010. I will arrive in Uganda on January 6 and will be living in Uganda to partner with Pastor John Mulinde as we prepare and mobilize this Sacred Assembly, similar to the one described in Joel 2. I ask you to keep theCall Uganda and our team in prayer and if possible to fast one day a week or month, along with us, in preparation for the Call Uganda on May 29, 2010.

Break My Blog Giveaway – No. 1 – The Lost World of Genesis One
Click
For the next several weeks, I plan on giving away several books using the following method:
To enter, leave a comment. It has to be at least two words – mainly because it is a Wordpress thing. If you can get away with a one word comment, go for it.
Enter as many times as you want.
What?!!??
That’s right – I encourage you to break my blog. Leave as many comments as you want, and each one is an entry. You leave one comment – that’s one entry. You leave twenty comments, well, that’s twenty entries. If you leave 100 comments, well…you get the idea.
The first book up is John Walton’s, The Lost World of Genesis One, in honor of my trip to Indianapolis to hear his lecture on Thursday. So, the contest is over Thursday evening at some point.
They tell me that at some point, you can bog down the bandwidth, and I really want to see it happen.
Up coming will be one NLT bible – winner picks either a Study Bible, Life Recovery, or Mosaic, and a super secret book trying to get into paperback.
By the way, I shain’t respond as it might mess up the calculations when I use the program to pick the winner.
Remember, you can comment as many times as you want – each comment is an entry – until Thursday (3/18) evening.
