The person asked about the following line of argumentation for prohibiting women from teaching in the church. She heard it claimed that the word for “teacher” in Greek (διδάσκαλος) never appears in the […]
The bloggers at D33 are excited about an upcoming conference this Thursday, April 27, at McMaster Divinity College called Secularism and the Pursuit of Transcendence: A Church and Culture Conference.

Stanley Porter (my co-blogger) and Bryan Dyer (my friend and colleague) have just published a New Testament Christology, entitled Origins of New Testament Christology (Baker, 2023).

We are sad to hear of the death of Professor David J. A. Clines at the age of 84 (1938–2022). David made a sustained contribution to biblical studies over the course of over five decades.

Porter, New Testament Theology and the Greek Language: A Linguistic Reconceptualization (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022).

This year the conferences were held in Denver, Colorado. As expected, it was an […]
We want to highlight a recent book that has been published on the New Testament Canon. It is a part of the Viewpoints series published by Kregel, edited by Stanley E. Porter and Benjamin P. Laird. The blurb on Kregel’s website states: A feature not mentioned in this description is that the editors provide both […]
