Class is in Session!

Posted on by

Hey everyone, I wanted to write and let you know that I had my first week of classes for this semester this past week and it has cut into my blogging time. I’m taking Greek, church history up to the reformation, and a missions class (all relevant to the mission of this website/blog). I’m hoping to integrate my reading and assignments into content for the site. So far I’ve put together a chart for the Greek alphabet. More Greek resources will soon become available (please let me know if they are helpful).

My goal is not not to drop off the face of the earth during the semester. I’m going to keep posting but the posts will be shorter and more blurb-like. After-all, there are many competent theologians and apologists out there. Lets keep an eye on them ;)

Greek and Hebrew Fonts

Posted on by

This is a quick update for my regular readers. I am going to use the Greek and Hebrew fonts from the Bibleworks website on The Apologist. They can be downloaded at bibleworks.com/fonts for free. Instructions for installation are also on their site. These fonts should work on Windows, Macs, and Linux.

Next semester I am going to be taking a New Testament Greek class and my hope is to use this blog as a sounding board for sharing what I am learning. It will enable me to stay active on the blog, share insights into the Greek Language for interested readers, and force myself to study and explain the relevance of Greek in Theology and Apologetics.

New Kindle

Posted on by

Dear faithful readers, I am sorry for not posting anything in the last few days. I have been occupied with work and my brand new Kindle. I have been wanting one of these for almost 2 years now and have finally been able to purchase one (without breaking my budget). In addition to personal interests (which usually ends up being science fiction) I will be reading a lot of theology/apologetics on my new Kindle. I hope it will improve the quality of my writing as well as my own personal knowledge base. For those of you who don’t know, I’m not a know-it-all when it comes to all things apologetics. I study and learn as the need arises. That’s realistic right? Tools like Kindle will help me do that more efficiently. So far I’ve downloaded:

  • The ESV Study Bible
  • Institutes of the Christian Religion, by John Calvin
  • The Cause of God and Truth, by John Gill
  • Systematic Theology, vols. 1-3, Charles Hodge
  • The Westminster Confession of Faith

Not too bad for a novice! Any suggestions which would improve my library?

A few more updates…

I just cashed in the 50 dollar Facebook advertising credit from GoDaddy, hopefully it will bring more people here. I added a few lists of bible verses to the main site: Homosexuality and Melchizedek (no, they aren’t immediately related). Those come in handy when you just want raw information, I hope to add more lists of verses and other information which might be useful (feel free to drop suggestions in the comment box below).
