Happy New Year! 2020 is the year of the rat, a year of creativity, clever thinking, energy, and optimism. I could use all of these coming months but not in a superstitious way ;)
I have not done much with the blog because of an overwhelming amount of work: overload in teaching, heavy admin duties as chair of the biblical field at North Park, and some major research projects in the queue. I do plan on revising/relaunching the blog in the near future, along with relocating it, probably on wordpress.com. I also have some big announcements on writing projects that I hope to make soon within the month.
Stay tuned! Until then, may the Lord give you a fresh vision and fresh fire for Him and His work this new year! MJL
a biblioblog by Max Lee devoted to the study of the Apostle Paul and how he uses the Greco-Roman cultural traditions, language, categories, metaphors and lexicon of the ancient Mediterranean world to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to his Gentile churches. Every now and then, I might digress to share theological reflections, pastoral devotions, musings about the academic life, and just about anything related to the New Testament, early Christianity, or the church today
