The thoughts which I’m to communicate here are hardly new or original. They’re everywhere. But I thought I’d add my “amen” to these sorts of claims.
Advocates of sola scriptura normally steer clear of the ramifications of their belief. Let us grant, for argument’s sake, that the sole locus of authority in terms [...]

Earlier, I gave some very superficial initial impressions of the Orthodox Study Bible. (This webpage gives a list of translators and commentators, but it is manifestly an old document, dated 19 September 2002, and may not be entirely accurrate/updated.) I’ve spent a week now with the OSB, and have some further thoughts.
First, a bit of [...]

Genesis 12.4 notes that Abraham was seventy-five years old when he left Haran out of obedience to God to go to the land that God would show him. In 12.7, God promised Abraham that he would give this land to Abraham’s seed. Abraham had no heir; Sarah was barren. In 13.14-17, when [...]

I have drawn together some reading (or, rather, praying) cycles for the Psalter from resources out there, a thirty-day cycle and a seven-day cycle. The thirty-day cycle is from the Anglican use (although it might have other origins as well). The seven-day cycle is the basic schema found in The Psalter of the [...]

Today, the bonded leather editon of the Orthodox Study Bible came. At first glance, I’m fairly pleased with it. I’ve a couple of quibbles (stemming from my Protestant upbringing): no center column reference and margins too small for penciled notations. I would also add that the “You” instead of “Thou” when [...]

In light of my previous post, I thought I would also offer Psalm 3. Although I should point out that, so far as I know, I am only highlighting an individual application, still, I thought I would offer that over the years, as I have prayed this during morning prayers, it has seemed imminently [...]

While Fr Joseph didn’t cotton much to this Newsweek article, about A J Jacobs’ attempt to live all the 700 or so rules of the Bible for a year, I actually found some interesting tidbits in it. Tidbits which, I think, back up Fr Joseph’s suspicions that Mr. Jacobs didn’t read much, if any, [...]

First of all, I failed to make clear in my earlier post linking to the dialectic of opposition comments at All Saints Forum, my indebtedness to Perry Robinson and Joseph Farrell’s book, Free Choice in Saint Maximus the Confessor, for highlighting this dynamic for me. It’s definitely not an original thought on my part. [...]
