Guest Blogging

by

It’s been relatively quiet on this blog lately because my family is getting settled after a move. At the beginning of July, we  moved from Trinity’s campus in Deerfield, Illinois, to Moore, South Carolina (explanation here). Deerfield is a relatively posh Chicago suburb; Moore is a relatively quaint Southern community. And we’re enjoying the variety.

It might be even quieter over the next nine days because I’ll be guest-blogging with some other friends at Justin Taylor’s “Between Two Worlds.”

Will your book be available in print?

by

Within a week of announcing that Logos Bible Software is publishing my book Let Go and Let God? A Survey and Analysis of Keswick Theology, I received over one hundred emails and comments asking the same question: “Will your book be available in print?”

Short Answer

No, at least for now. ***Don’t miss the update at the bottom of this article.***

Longer Answer

No. The plan for now is that the book will be available exclusively in electronic format from Logos Bible Software.

The factors involved in this decision are complicated, but here are some reasons that I chose Logos Bible Software to publish my first solo book:

  1. I love Logos Bible Software. I’d rather have a book in Logos format than in print any day. [Read more…] about Will your book be available in print?

Website Redesigned

by

Many thanks to Phil Gons for redesigning AndyNaselli.com over the last two months. (Those who subscribe to this blog via RSS feed, email, or Twitter may want to visit the site to see the new design.)

In addition to the blog, every page is redesigned with updated content:

God has gifted Phil with superb analytical and technical skills. He’s a gifted exegete and theologian as well as a technological wizard. And I’m grateful that he’s patient, too, because I regularly ask him for advice about exegesis, theology, and technology! If you don’t already subscribe to his blog, I’d highly recommend you do so via RSS feed, email, or Twitter. It’s called “Thoughts on Theology and Technology” and organized as follows:

Dissertation Defended

by

Two weeks ago I wrote that I “am scheduled to defend my dissertation on July 2, 2010 before D. A. Carson (my mentor), Bob Yarbrough (second reader), and Willem VanGemeren (program director).”

After I submitted my dissertation draft to the Academic Doctoral Office last week about a month and a half early, Willem VanGemeren asked me if I’d like to defend it sooner, and my committee moved the date to May 13, 2010 (this morning).

The committee’s verdict: clear pass.

And I’m grateful to God!

The dissertation’s title is “Paul’s Use of Isaiah 40:13 and Job 41:3a (Eng. 41:11a) in Romans 11:34–35.” (I’ll share the abstract in a forthcoming post.)

Here’s what I wrote in the “Acknowledgments”:

This dissertation began as a paper prepared for D. A. Carson’s PhD seminar “The Old Testament in the New” in fall 2006. Carson required each student to write a paper on the use of the OT in a specific NT passage, and I chose Rom 11:34–35 primarily because it is attached to my favorite verse in the Bible: Rom 11:36. I slightly revised the paper and presented it at the national meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society on November 19, 2008. The study was so rewarding that I expanded it into this dissertation.
