If you’ve finished beginning Greek, this one is worth a look. My review of the Greek New Testament Study Bible covers what its notes do well and where they’re limited. Review copy provided by Zondervan. youtu.be/jyKKFMm0Eyw

It's that time of the year to point out that Florida upside down looks like the Grinch! 🤯
Try this in your next Bible study: compare the same verse in three translations, then read the footnotes.
Stephen Nelson showed me how to do both for free in Cross Bible. Here’s the demo:

A Greek word can have several meanings without meaning all of them in every verse.
When you use a lexicon, ask: Which sense fits this sentence?
Dr. Rob Plummer explains this common word-study mistake:

Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king?
2 Kings 8:26 says 22. The Masoretic Hebrew of 2 Chronicles 22:2 says 42. Some Septuagint manuscripts and the Syriac read 22.
Here’s why those ancient witnesses matter:

Geologist Dr Tim Clarey compiled more than 1,500 records of rock layers across North and South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
He found similar patterns of sediment build-up across continents, which he interprets as evidence of a single global Flood.
Now it's your turn to see how his years in oil exploration helped equip him to study the rocks in light of Noah’s Flood.

Why does Jesus breathe on the disciples in John 20:22?
In the Septuagint, that same Greek verb describes God breathing life into Adam (Gen. 2:7).
I think this is a beautiful glimpse of John’s new-creation theme.

Here’s a note you might not expect in the 1611 KJV:
“This 36. verse is wanting in most of the Greek copies.”
That’s Luke 17:36. The translators were candid about textual differences. I explore it in my Geneva/KJV comparison.

The ancient legend of 72 translators concerns the Law of Moses, not the whole Greek Old Testament. Other books have different translation histories. I asked Dr. John Meade to help untangle what we mean by “the Septuagint.” youtube.com/watch?v=hQGUX8lY…

The more I know my own sinful heart, the better I understand the human condition; the less furious I find myself becoming with others.

I’ve studied all three of the major views on the Millennium. I actually think all three positions can be defended rigorously.
