New Book on the Psalms
My friend Ray Van Neste has recently shared that his (and Richard Wells') new book on the psalms will be out later this year. It is titled, Forgotten Songs: Reclaiming the Psalms for Christian Worship. This should be a wonderful resource, and springs out of Ray's long-time interest in the Psalms, and how they might be recovered for use in Christian worship. Congrats Ray! For more information, you can go to Ray's web site, or to Amazon to pre-order.

The Big Picture of the Bible
Starting February 1st, I will be teaching a Wednesday evening class at my church, Englewood Baptist Church. The class is titled, "The Big Picture of the Bible: Making Sense of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation". This course is a somewhat shortened version of a course I regularly teach at Union University--"Biblical Theology". I am also currently at work on a book, Covenant and Command: Works, Obedience, and Faithfulness in the New Covenant, and I will be working through some of the issues from that book in the course. The bottom line is in that this course I will try--in ten weeks--to offer my understanding of the unity, coherence, and story-line of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. If you live in the area, and are interested in attending, you can contact me via the contact link above.

The Ciceronian Society
Folks may already be aware of this new academic society, but I wanted to put in a word for this exciting new group: The Ciceronian Society. Named after the famous Roman orator (Cicero, 106 B.C .- 43 B.C.), here is how this group describes itself:
The Ciceronian Society facilitates the development of academic conferences that explore the many and various topics related to our core themes of Tradition, Place, and 'Things Divine.'
The Ciceronian Society also publishes an online journal, "Anamnesis".
The founding board of the society and the editorial board of the journal are good lists of good folk.
