1/ WAS Crucified. IS Risen. Alleluia! (Mark 16)

2/ The Resurrection of Jesus: A harmony of the resurrection accounts

Here’s the most thorough reconstruction I’ve found of the events of Resurrection Day.

It really helps to set the stage by showing the different groups of disciples and women in different places, and the gospel accounts are written from those perspectives. Everything fits together beautifully.

4/ Introduction to the Books of the Bible

I’ve got a little project building a ten-week introduction to the Old Testament curriculum. While doing research, I came across this great little book published in 1929 by CPH: Introduction to the Books of the Bible. That publication date means it’s in the public domain this year. Exciting! I’m thinking about republishing it, but in the meantime I brought it onto the website. It’s particularly helpful. Take a look and let me know what you think:

5/ Continuing Education Austin

I’m incredibly excited to host Dr. John Bruss for our continuing education class this summer, July 27-29, here at St. Paul Austin. He’ll be discussing the Reformation of worship, its scriptural background, and key texts from 1523 to 1580. It’ll be great to explore how that first generation of Lutherans thought about the divine service.

This is geared for pastors and theologians, but all people are welcome. Here’s the information.

Could you please recommend a resource by which we might learn more about Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany being the same woman? I’m up against that one in my house this morning.
