A great new resource for sharpening our swords!
I just found out today that Zondervan publishers has a blog where various Biblical scholars and theologians post regularly on a variety of topics. It’s called Koinonia, which is the Greek word for fellowship/community. There are some great articles on there, some more technical than others. Go check it out when you have a chance. [...]
