I got word today that two articles I wrote for the Lexham Bible Dictionary are cued to be published in the December release! How exciting to be part of Logos’ work in equipping the Church with valuable resources for the study of Scripture. Such contributors have been Emanuel Tov, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., and Andreas J. Kostenberger!
At Biblia Theologica, Dr. Ardel Caneday posted an article about the transition from darkness to light as we follow Nicodemus throughout John’s narrative. Nicodemus starts as a lost seeker, coming to Jesus at night, to later being instrumental in the burying of the body of Jesus. I posted a comment about some of what I’ve noticed about the transition from darkness to light, and that Jesus seems to affirm Nicodemus in coming to the light, but his sternness about darkness shows the necessity in living out our baptism. As we come to Christ, we are coming out of darkness, we have questions, and we grow to overcoming the darkness as we are in the light. Case in point, this occurs in the third chapter and by the end of the sixth chapter Jesus walks on water in victory over the watery chaos; echoing back to God’s creation work in Genesis.
I enjoyed Halloween with my family as I hope you did as well. I want a costume like this next year!
