According to Peter Marshall it was in 1617 that the first decision was taken to stage celebrations and commemorations across Lutheran and Reformed territories on 31 Oct. This was itself historical, being ‘the very first large-scale modern centenary’.


.@GJShearer is one of the few UK seminary profs who 'get it'. Here you can see him engage in congregational ministry. Come for his bamboozling of local kids in the children's talk; stay for his limpid exposition of the first petition of the Lord's Prayer: youtube.com/live/Nym_pfugZ…

I'm saddened by this news, Daniel was a very enjoyable chess player and educator.

I don't know anyone who loved chess like Danya. He played 140K games on Chess.com. Many more on ICC and lichess. He'd even play in the breaks in commentary. His love of the game was infectious and eloquent, and he will be deeply missed. 💔 chess.com/news/view/gran…



I discovered this week that David Clines has quite a lot of his publications uploaded on his Academia page. Clines is very much an modern Old Testament academic, but a highly productive and often insightful one: academia.edu/66746090/Cline…


Oof, that is some press release.

Oh dear. This angle of the Jaden Philogene goal. It gets better.


Interesting read on cousin marriage and clannishness.
