Simply owning a great tool doesn't make you a good exegete. That's why I'm glad @logosbible.bsky.social also offers guidance for careful use of Scripture.
Exhibit A: this interview with Kevin Vanzhoozer who offers an in-depth, conscientious handling of hermeneutics. www.logos.com/grow/live-he...
"There is no more telling barometer of the intellectual, social, and spiritual condition of a people than the way they read the Bible."

I'm really excited to bring you this episode. Check out the full interview and accompanying article. www.logos.com/grow/l...
"The resurrection of the Messiah God had done, through Jesus, what they were hoping and expecting that God would do for Israel. The redemption, revival and resurrection of Israel were embodied in the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah."

Recently, we asked our @logosbible.bsky.social community to share their favorite books on Christology, the study of the person and work of Christ. Here are some of the Logos communityโs top recommended books. www.logos.com/grow/best-ch...
Just in time for Christmas, I sit down with Graham Cole to talk about God the Son's becoming humanโwhat exactly it means and why it matters for our salvation. www.logos.com/grow/live-in...
โItโs the most wonderful time of the year.โ Except when itโs not.
Like a magnifying glass, Christmas time not only spotlights whatโs already present but enlarges our perception of it. This includes lifeโs joysโbut also lifeโs sorrows.
This Friday is Reformation Day. But what was the Protestant Reformation, and why does It matter?
I sat down with Joel Beeke on Logos Live (@logosbible.bsky.social) to discuss.

What is expository preaching? In this episode, I sit down with Dave Helm to discuss. www.logos.com/grow/live-ex... @logosbible.bsky.social
The entire episode is worth listening to and considering. But if you want to cut to the chase regarding the above insights, it runs from 18:00 onward. /3
People will appeal to God, or the God-adjacent (like in an oath), in order to manipulate, cut off accountability, criticism, or input from others, and grant themselves a religious trump card with which to bulldoze others. /2
A friend shared this episode with me, observing how this sort of thing often occurs in contexts of spiritual abuse. /1
