Here is a timely video by Mike Bullmore (one of the c. 130 videos mentioned in the last post). He answers the question, “How are we to interpret natural disasters? Are they necessarily a sign of God’s judgment?”

Doug Moo on Colossians and Philemon
Doug Moo‘s The Letters to the Colossians and to Philemon is hot off the press, and I enjoyed spending some time surveying it this morning.

SBL Handbook of Style
I typically consult The SBL Handbook of Style a couple of times each week to double-check various format and style issues. I was just delighted to learn that the entire book is available for free online as a PDF!
Update: The SBL site now says, “You must login to download The SBL Handbook of Style.”
Chawkat Moucarry on Islam
The fourth essay in Christ on Campus Initiative’s series was just published: Chawkat Moucarry’s “A Christian Perspective on Islam.” (The essays are also hosted by the Henry Center.)
The CCI essays are (1) by evangelical scholars, (2) geared for campus evangelism, and (3) edited by D. A. Carson.
Here’s the outline for Moucarry’s essay:
