For pastors, seminary students, and scholars who find themselves studying the concept of idolatry and/or the Pentateuch, Southeastern prof Tracy McKenzie’s recently released Idolatry in the Pentateuch: An Innertextual Strategy is a helpful and informative read.
Idolatry in the Pentateuch lays the foundation for exploring a significant strategy within the composition of the Pentateuch: In the last days, God will provoke Israel to jealousy by embracing another nation—a Gentile nation!
In the book, McKenzie begins … [Read More]

Cultivating Godliness in Seminary

Jul 14th, 2010 by Nathan Finn

When I was preparing to enroll at Southern Seminary to begin my M.Div. studies, more than one person counseled me to not allow my zeal to fizzle while in seminary. While some of that counsel probably reflects my membership in a tradition that is still somewhat suspicious of theological education, I suspect that many other aspiring seminarians have received similar advice. And for good reason—each of us know of someone whose faith withered in seminary, … [Read More]

40 Questions about Interpreting the Bible

40 Questions about Interpreting the Bible

During the two years I was a M.Div. student at Southern Seminary, one of my favorite professors was a young New Testament scholar named Rob Plummer. I took a fruitful year of Greek from Rob—I still remember some of the silly songs that he and my now SEBTS colleague Ben Merkle wrote to help us remember Greek paradigms. One of the things I liked best about those Greek classes was the way Rob’s heart for … [Read More]

In the book, Rooker devotes a chapter to each commandment, discussing each one in its ancient context, showing how each commandment connects with other Old Testament and New Testament passages. … [Read More]
