March 13th class; the Lewis and Clark air rifle

A reminder that we will not be meeting on Sunday, March 13th, as Rosemarie and I will be in Memphis, presenting papers at the Society for Pentecostal Studies conference.

Today's class session is now up and available (links in the Dec 19, 2010 posting on this blog). Looks like I forgot to hit the screen capture box, so that it's audio only - sorry!

Also, I had promised to provide a link to a video regarding the Girandoni air rifle used on the Lewis and Clark expedition. You can see this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pqFyKh-rUI&fmt=18. If you're wondering what this has to do with Hebrews, well, the answer is not too much, directly. However, I had brought up in class that we tend to focus on things that interest us (as we see in the descriptions in Heb 9:1-5), and how in the UK they have many more periodicals than we have here in North America, with all sorts of specialized magazines. Included in these are a number on air rifles, and my rather scattered mind then turned to this video I had just seen, and I mentioned that, and now here we are, with a link in this Bible study blog. Okay, so my brain tends to do some rather random things - sorry!

Blessings on all of you!

  1. I want to thank everyone for your prayers regarding my job opportunity. I recieved a great offer from the company this morning. It is truly a blessing from God as I did not initially apply for the position and is a much better opportunity than I would have sought out on my own.

  2. A couple of times in class you mentioned a great resource on understanding the Greek language without being a Greek scholar. Can you post a link to the resources?

  3. Curtis,
    meant to catch up with you in class on this. The book I'm referring to is by Walter Jerry Clark, "How to Use New Testament Greek Study Aids". The bad news is that it's out of print. The good news is that there are multiple copies on bookfinder.com starting in the $4 range (including shipping) - a spectacular deal, really.
