ESV Single Column Reference Bible

I just received my ESV Single Column Reference Bible (TruTone) and really like it.  I know many people like the paragraph format that most ESV Bibles follow for easier reading, but I really like the Single Column Bible for three reasons.  First, it separates the verses, which is nice when teaching because you can easily identify a particular verse or passage.  Second, I like the wider margins to make notes; and finally, I like the reference set up (on the inside part of the page).  The NASB Classic Reference Bible is set up very similar, but since switching to the ESV, I have wanted to find something similar to the format of the NASB Classic Reference Bible and have now found it in the ESV Single Column Reference Bible.  Check out the ESV Single Column Reference Bible here.

 

N.T. Wright on Heaven

Although I don’t agree with everything Wright says, I think he is accurate about many things when he talks about heaven and the New Testament portryal of it.  See his recent comments here.  Read more of Wright on heaven here.

New Commentary Series and Commentaries by Dumbrell

Phil Gons points out a new commentary series starting 2009 called the New Covenant Commentary Series.  See it here.  Something else of note are two commentaries written by William Dumbrell on Galatians and John (not part of the new series), which I was not aware of.  They seem to be of the same vein as his Romans commentary. Check out his commentaries here.

Adorare Mente

Southern Seminary has started a student journal called Adorare Mente (to worship with the mind).  The seminary never had a student journal when I was around, but it is nice to see some students get an opportunity to have their papers read by others.  I would especially point out papers by John Meade and Blake White.  I have got to know them through the blogsphere and they seem very adept in biblical theology.  Check out the first issue here.
