Me encanta la parábola del «hijo pródigo». Escuchamos ecos de la historia de Esaú y Jacob. «Pero Esaú corrió a su encuentro y, echándole los brazos al cuello, lo abrazó y lo besó». (Gn 33:4 NVI) En los dos casos, se espera una reacción negativa y se recibe misericordia.

My brother just mentioned Memoria College, which looks interesting! I signed up for a short course on an introduction to classical pedagogy. I love how many groups are now offering courses like this. memoriacollege.org

I'm enjoying trying to write in Hebrew calligraphy.

I read a small part of Miguel de Unamuno's poem, «El Cristo de Velázquez», with my students last week. It made me think of Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot. It's a long poem that rewards deep reading. Here are a couple of interesting lines:

I'm finishing up teaching a course on Eschatology & Revelation. Of any doctrine this is the one that requires more understanding of the whole Bible. I was privileged to teach, but I have a long way to go to say I have a grasp on everything!

Wow, this must be the release of the year: A translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch into English side by side with the Hebrew Text, with the differences between the Samaritan and the MT highlighted in red. Best of all, it is open access! www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

Starting to get the web site up to speed with reality, that @appianway.bsky.social is focusing on automating translations of ancient Greek authors into readable English editions. Do check it out, and do feel free to ask me any questions.

I haven't done a Read the Bible in a Year plan in ages, since I've been reading a lot slower in Hebrew and Greek. For 2025 I've decided to use a Catholic Bible reading plan so I can finally force myself to read the Apocryphal books (I've started them several times and never finish.)

I'm challenged by the pure joy of Thomas Traherne in Centuries of Meditations. He marveled in small, everyday graces. For example, "Is not sight a jewel? Is not hearing a treasure? Is not speech a glory?" p. 29, Kindle version

I finally finished Assimil's book for Hebrew. If you get the MP3s, this is a good way to improve your Hebrew. My only suggestion for making it better would be to make it a story instead of just 85 isolated conversations.

Si quieres que tus estudiantes conozcan un artículo en un idioma que no leen, sube el artículo a NotebookLM y pídele un resumen en su idioma. Esta técnica permitirá a mis estudiantes tener acceso a artículos en inglés.

"There is but one proper and ultimate literal fulfilment of any prophecy; but, in anticipation of that there are typical and precursory fulfilments— preliminary rehearsals in advance of the grand performance." (J. A. Seiss, The Apocalypse, Vol 1, 106.)

I find it fascinating that the phrase ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι only appears in Dan 2:28-29, 45 (LXX), and Rev 1:1; 4:1; 22:6. I suppose that it depends on what you do with Daniel, but this seems like good evidence to read to read Revelation futuristically. Any thoughts? @svigel.bsky.social

Emanuel Elizondo en un taller para escritores hizo un comentario más o menos así: «Si pretendes ser un escritor, debes estudiar sobre cómo escribir, ver cursos y leer libros sobre cómo crecer como escritor». ¡Buen punto! Empecé a leer el libro "Stein on Writing" por Sol Stein, y me está gustando.

I have like 700 some followers on Twitter, but I've enjoyed the experience here more. I'm finding I'm not wasting as much time because the posts of others have been great. Just looking for more accounts in Spanish about theology, Bible, etc.

@jamesbejon.bsky.social encontró una hermosura en el hebreo de Isaías 40:4. Es la historia de varias «inversiones», y «el terreno escabroso» ‎העקב se contrasta con בקעה «ancho valle» (LBLA), incluso en la inversión de las letras de las dos palabras. jamesbejon.substack.com/p/advent-the...

¡Acabo de ver que este artículo fue traducido! www.coalicionporelevangelio.org/articulo/sab... En mi curso sobre los salmos había usado el traductor de Google con el artículo original, pero es mucho mejor tenerlo traducido.

Cuando tomas los Salmos en tus labios, cantas las canciones de Jesús. Él es el centro de los Salmos, el cantor principal de los Salmos.

La nueva opción de una traducción paralela dentro de WPS Office me parece muy chévere. No es perfecta la traducción, pero es buena. Pienso que podría usar esto para crear textos nuevos en hebreo también.
