Get your (Theological) Languages Here

Category: Biblioblogging — Polycarp @ 1:35 pm

What? Are you sure you are seeing this over and over again? Well, I thought that I might post this every day for a week.

I had the distinct and gratifying pleasure to have lunch with Michael Halcomb at last years SBL in New Orleans. Michael immediately strikes you as someone with a passion for the things of God. Have you checked out his website? But, like usual, there is a problem.

Not only does he have his blog, he has spent a lot of time and effort in creating and maintaining three other websites. Greek, Aramaic and Theological German.

I am trying to (re)learn Greek from scratch and Michael’s site has helped immensely.

And for the brave, there is Aramaic.

And those who hate beautiful language, there is theological German.

On each site is a variety of tools such as diagrams, podcasts, songs and even flashcards.

Free.

So, if you get a chance, visit him.

By way, please pass this along, as these sites are really helpful and should be utilized by more people.

Blogger Spotlight: Bill Heroman

Category: Biblioblogging — Polycarp @ 11:59 am

I was fortunate enough to meet Bill at the 2009 Biblioblogger Dinner and was delighted to have done so. He has recently written about himself, which means it saves me a great amount of time. You can find his post here:

NT/History Blog: About Me.

I do want to say, however, that his blog has been challenging in many areas and I would recommend him!

James White Runs Scared of Diglot

Category: Biblioblogging — Polycarp @ 11:59 am

Well, at least in my mind. Congrats to Kevin for posting something which White took offense to.

Honestly, though? ‘Anti-Reformed’ textual critic? Doesn’t that mean that White is a Pro-Reformed Textual Critic making all his work bogus since it is obviously biased? Maybe I’ll go back to the KJVO camp.

How To Not Get Caught Having An Affair?

Category: Technology — Polycarp @ 6:59 pm

According to Time Magazine…

It works like this: when, say, a prominent politician sends his mistress an iPhone message via TigerText, the mistress will be prompted to install the app. When she has done so, she can read the message, but she can’t keep it. In fact, the message is never actually sent to her phone; it’s stored on TigerText’s servers. After the politician’s specified time span has elapsed — anywhere from one minute to five days — the message ceases to exist. There’s even a “delete on read” setting, which counts down from 60 after a message is opened and erases its text at zero.

For those who need an even more comprehensive way to cover their tracks, the “delete history” option will wipe away any evidence of a given phone call. No telltale suspicious numbers, no chance of getting caught out by the old “press redial” routine.

HT.
