CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES The journey through Samaria proved to be uneventful, as Jesus had suggested. No one stopped them or inquired of them, and there were no requests for miracles. They did come upon a fellow traveler heading north who had a grim report about something the Procurator of Judea had recently…

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: CROSSING BORDERS Across the Kinneret lake was the region of Gerasa, and Jesus had concluded that it was time to get out of Galilee for a while. What clinched this plan in his mind was that after staying only two days in Kefer-Nahum, word came that John had been beheaded in brutal fashion…

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: ‘HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN….’ Jesus took his disciples a slightly different way over the hills to Netzerit on this occasion. They came in through the little village of Nain which was only a few miles from Jesus’ hometown. He was traveling with both his disciples and a considerable crowd which had begun…

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: TWELVE FOR THE TWELVE TRIBES, AND WOMEN TOO Much had happened since Jesus had been away from Kefer-Nahum, and the talk of Galilee was the ministries of John and Jesus, with numerous discussions on why they were so different, and whether they were working together or not, especially since they were related to…

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE ANALYSIS OF A PARALYSIS One of the things Jesus had been reflecting on during his stay in Bethany is the different mission and ministry strategies that would be required in Judea in proclaiming the good news about the inbreaking Dominion of G-d. He had concluded that while aphoristic wisdom and parables would…

CHAPTER TWELVE: SOJOURN IN JUDEA Jesus realized it would be wise for him to get away from Kefer-Nahum for a while and so he told his disciples they should stay and work here for a few days, that he would soon return, but that he was going to visit some friends near Jerusalem. Making the…

In chapter 3 the plot of the story of sin thickens, or since we are talking about sin, one could say the plot sickens.  At the outset of the chapter,  Gary Anderson demonstrates how the Hebrew phrase nasa awon is rendered into Aramaic, namely either as qabbel hoba ‘to assume a debt’  or in other…

In a story released just today on Fox News, we have new claims that Noah’s Ark has been found in eastern Turkey. I heard rumors of this last May when I was in Turkey, but only now has the team exploring the matter gone public. Here is the link to the story. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/27/noahs-ark-found-turkey-arafat/ The above…
