Round the Sphere Again: Scripture

Ten Facts
Michael Kruger (Canon Fodder) has begun a new blog series on ten basic facts about the New Testament canon every Christian should memorize so that they will be able to respond to some of the frequent “sensational claims, made by either scholars or laymen, that something definitively “new” has been discovered about the historical Jesus.”

The first fact is this: The New Testament books are the earliest Christian writings we possess. Why is this important? It means

that the books included in the New Testament are not as arbitrary as some would have us believe.  On the contrary, it seems that these are precisely the books we would include if we wanted to have access to authentic Christianity.

Eight Ways
to read scripture, suggested by Richard Greenham (The Thirsty Theologian, quoting from Meet the Puritans).

(Serendipitously, a few days ago I downloaded Michael Haykin’s lecture on Richard Greenham, who was unfamiliar to me.)

One Sufficient Source
For knowledge of God (Blogging Theologically).

For all the divine words you need (Pyromaniacs).
