Wow! What a fascinating and enjoyable conversation this is to listen to, no kidding. One does not need to be particularly interested in Bible translation or linguistics to learn something of value from this. Thank you @drujohnson.com and @hebraicthought.org

The Bible was designed to be translated? Jost tells us how sign language is sometimes a better translation that text. This was a super fun discussion! And, you can access the meat of these translations for yourself in English. thebiblicalmind.org/podcast/glob...

A pleasurable and sad mix of hilarious and indictment. Worth the read! "Somewhat defensively I would offer the fact that it wasn’t so bad. We had two video stores. A supermarket. Enough racism to make you feel alive." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/o...

Forget everything you knew about masculine "homemakers." Nancy Pearcey's book opened me up to genuinely new lines of thought about the "place of a man" in the home. She's asking us to rethink some things and I think it's helpful. thebiblicalmind.org/podcast/masc...

This book is VERY good and, dare I say, necessary for any worship leaders. They use the psychology of "joint attention" to explain why worshipping together is so important. Enjoyable reading as well. Good job @baylorpress.bsky.social! And, they got both me and Wolterstorff to agree on a book! :)
