Happy birthday, Stephen Cook! In 1982, Cook received the #ACMTuringAward for his advancement of our understanding of the complexity of computation in a significant and profound way. His seminal paper, "The Complexity of Theorem Proving Procedures," presented at the 1971 ACM SIGACT Symposium on the Theory of Computing, laid the foundations for the theory of NP-Completeness. The ensuing exploration of the boundaries and nature of NP-complete class of problems has been one of the most active and im

Genesis 23 exposes, with remarkable restraint, the way human systems of meaning—property, status, etiquette, legal performance—continue to operate mechanically even at the edge of death, where one might expect them to fall silent. The comedy works because nothing breaks. No one drops the mask. No one says, “This is grotesque.” And that very continuity is the point. #biblestudy #biblehumor #biblicalstories #abraham #oldtestament

The greatest danger to the Church is not persecution from the state, but usefulness to it. For the moment Christianity becomes a tool of power, it ceases to be a judgment upon power. In The Last Battle—and in The Abolition of Man—Lewis exposes a faith that prizes loyalty over truth, obedience over conscience, and certainty over discernment. #CSLewis #TheLastBattle #ChristianDiscernment #FaithAndConscience #christiannationalism | Dr. Stephen L.

Spoken during Assyrian military domination, Isaiah 9 names real places and real trauma. Yet the text’s coming ruler is described in terms no ordinary Davidic king ever fulfilled. The promise exceeds its own moment. Matthew does not ignore Isaiah’s original context. He recognizes its unfinished horizon. This reel begins a short series asking a serious question: Is Matthew doing eisegesis—or is he inhabiting the deep logic of Isaiah itself? Next: the darkness that makes Isaiah’s light necessary. #

Isaiah 65 opens with one of the most astonishing promises in all of Scripture: “Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth.” This isn’t a minor repair job—it’s a total renewal. Isaiah imagines Eden restored on God’s holy mountain, a world where joy replaces sorrow, work bears fruit, and God’s people flourish like long-lived trees. In this new creation, God draws near with breathtaking immediacy: “Before they call, I will answer.” It’s a vision of the world as God always intended it to be—heale

The goal of biblical interpretation is not merely to deconstruct certainty. It is to nourish wisdom, holiness, courage, and theological imagination. Historical criticism matters—but Scripture was not preserved only to be analyzed. It was preserved to become a living witness that feeds the hungry soul. #BiblicalTheology #OldTestament #CanonicalTheology #Scripture #BibleScholar

“As the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up…” (Isaiah 61:11) In Gerard David’s Rest on the Flight into Egypt, the wilderness does not wait to be civilized before it becomes fertile. The ground beneath the Holy Family erupts with flowers—an entire carpet of life, not a single symbolic bloom. This abundance is theological. Isaiah imagines righteousness spreading the way gardens do: quietly, persistently, without coercion. David paints that same cla

What did everyday work look like in the biblical world? Before industrial milling, grain was turned into flour by hand—on personal grindstones found in nearly every ancient household. Women spent hours each day on their knees, pushing a smooth handstone across a heavy slab. It was exhausting, essential, and absolutely central to daily life in ancient Israel. Archaeology lets us see this world up close. These simple tools—unchanged for thousands of years—give us a window into the rhythms of bibli

At this year’s Boston meetings, Professor John Strong opened a fascinating window into the Old Testament’s world. He showed that when Genesis speaks of humans as created in God’s “image” and “likeness,” it echoes language found on Neo-Assyrian royal stelae—like the famous Nimrud Monolith of Ashurnasirpal II. In the ancient world, these paired terms marked the king as the visible representative of divine authority. #OldTestament #Genesis #ImageOfGod #ImagoDei #BibleHistory AncientNearEast Assyria

What is a seminary actually for? Many forms of theological education today arise from real pastoral and financial necessities. Hybrid, diocesan, and limited-residency programs often make ministry preparation possible for students who could not otherwise pursue it. But necessity and ideality are not always the same thing. In this new series, I want to explore a larger question that reaches far beyond theological education itself. What happens when churches, universities, and society begin to lose

In Isaiah 49 God’s saving work does not advance through visible success or coercive power, but through humility that refuses to harden into bitterness. What looks like futility becomes the very place where God begins to act. The Servant’s objection is not collapse; it is a doorway—into a paradoxical salvation that moves through patience, trust, and self-giving. #Isaiah49 #ServantSong #FaithfulLament #HiddenProvidence #ParadoxOfSalvation
