Logos 4 is Finally Here

Today is a day that I have been waiting for quite some time: LOGOS 4 Over the past few months, Logos has been kind enough to allow me to participate in the private beta testing of their (formerly) forthcoming version of their library system. And let me tell you, it has been exciting. The new [...]

NIV Revision

This has already gone around quite a bit already, but I thought that I might as well make the anouncement too being that translation is one of the interests of this blog: The official press release says: The global board of Biblica today announced its intention to update the New International Version (NIV) of the [...]

Returned Safely & Greek News

Some already knew, but I was gone for my brother’s wedding this weekend, flew a total of 2400 miles and drove another 1500. It was great though. I had the awesome opportunity to stand beside him. I’m back though, as of 7:30 tonight. And after going through too many posts in my RSS reader than [...]

Political Correctness at its Worst!

I could barely finish this article, it made me so angry. Its just completely sick! Ottawa university boots cystic fibrosis from charity drive ‘I think they see this, in their own twisted way, as a win for diversity’ For those of you who don’t know, CF is a genetic disease that prevents the pancreas from [...]
