Seminary Update: Winter Classes and Their Books

I am finishing a class this Fall with Southern Seminary on "The Sermon on the Mount" with Dr. Jonathan Pennington. I opted for only one class this Fall, since I had bigger fish to fry (a wedding, a honeymoon, new marriage to cultivate).

This Winter I will be taking two classes. Winter terms are shorter and therefore more concentrated. After these two classes are completed I will have only three classes remaining, allowing me to graduate this Spring!

The two classes and their reading lists are as follows.

Jesus' Wife is Dead

Almost two months since my last post, this seemed to be an appropriate place to pick back up. Peter Williams of Tyndale House at Cambridge University writes about the latest on the manuscript of Jesus' alleged wife.
