Jonathan,
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for the various links and authors. It will take me a while to follow through all of them, but I’m looking forward to doing so. I think I will probably have to get the Logos system. I’ve actually applied to Fuller Seminary (to start this fall). I’m just under 5 years away from a 20 year military retirement and am looking to doing either something scholarly or in ministry for the next chapter in my life. Either way, Logos should be tremendously useful.
I read Resurrection of the Son of God (Wright) about 2.5 years ago and it honestly played a huge role in both strengthening my faith and deciding on changing vocation. It is by far the best book I’ve ever read. I then read his other 3 “big books” and am going through his NT commentaries now. The OT world is so much harder for me grasp as it covers such a longer period of time, style of writing, and ANE culture is so different to ours than the Greco-Roman culture of the NT. However, it is so clearly relevant to the gospel writers and Paul that we must strive to understand it better. Thanks again for the resources. I look forward to future OT dissertations of yours of the forum
