The latest issue of Eikon is mostly a chapter-by-chapter review of the third edition of Discovering Biblical Equality.
I contributed an article on Galatians 3:28:
Naselli, Andrew David. “Yet Another Attempt to Justify What God Forbids: A Response to Cynthia Lang Westfall, ‘Male and Female, One in Christ.’” Eikon: A Journal for Biblical Anthropology 5.1 (2023): 32–39.
Here’s my phrase diagram of Galatians 3:26–29:
About a month ago, Joe Rigney resigned as president of Bethlehem College and Seminary. (Next he plans to teach and pastor with our friends in Moscow, Idaho.) Today our school hosted a gathering to honor Joe and Jenny Rigney. Here’s what I said. (I sprinkled in some humor to try to help me refrain from choking up in tears! And below I added a handful of pictures.)
Seven Reasons I’m Still Grateful for Joe Rigney
In September 2020, the trustees of Bethlehem College and Seminary announced that they called Joe Rigney to serve as our school’s second president. On that day I wrote seven reasons I was grateful about that decision. I’d like to revisit those seven reasons and briefly reflect on them two years and eight months later.

My latest book just released:
Naselli, Andrew David. Tracing the Argument of 1 Corinthians: A Phrase Diagram. Bellingham, WA: Logos, 2023.
I wrote this short article for Logos:
Naselli, Andrew David. “Is the Holy Spirit an ‘It’? 7 Proofs for the Spirit’s Personhood.” Word by Word, 19 April 2023.
I start by suggesting three reasons that people (even some Christians) refer to the Holy Spirit as an “it.” Then I give seven reasons the Holy Spirit is a person—and thus seven reasons we should refer to the Holy Spirit as he and not it.
Here’s an interview I did with Austin Duncan for The Master’s Seminary (recorded on July 13, 2022 at The MacArthur Center for Expository Preaching):

Pornography was the topic in my ethics class this week. The fourth-year Master of Divinity (M.Div.) students surveyed various approaches to ethics at the beginning of the semester, and since then we’ve been studying and discussing various issues such as abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, contraception, divorce and remarriage, homosexuality, transgenderism, critical theory, ethnicity, war, genetic engineering, and the state. In our (justified) concern about prevailing ideologies in our culture, such as LGBT and critical theory, pornography can stay under the radar as a silent corrupter.
That’s the opening paragraph to a short essay I prepared for my school’s weekly prayer letter update yesterday (which I’d encourage you to subscribe to).
In the article I share what eleven students thought about one of the required readings for our class period: Joe Rigney’s More Than a Battle: How to Experience Victory, Freedom, and Healing from Lust.
