I have always struggled to find real redeeming qualities in Samson, other than killing loads of Israel’s enemies. Perhaps he is just a larger-than-life negative example. All of this brought to mind by today’s Watch Your Head, by Cory Thomas. Quincy, the young man, is trying to get up the […]

I will attending the Seventy-First International Meeting of the Catholic Biblical Associate of America at Fordham in two weeks. Anyone else going? It would be great to meet some more bloggers/blogreaders in person. I will be presenting a working discussion on the rabbinic Interpretation of Lamentations as part of “The […]

New Poll: What will result from the Lambeth Conference?

UPDATE: With a few respondents, all negative, I am going to go ahead and remove Tech5. I do still encourage techeads to subscribe to Dvorak’s podcast, it is a good quick daily update. This is the question I am asking in the most recent poll. Please cast your vote in […]
