I JUST FINISHED paraphrasing the Gospel of John for the Casual English Bible. Kinda. I wanted to get the paraphrase out in time for the Easter Season. But I’m still working on the maps. I have some finished. But I’ll keep working my way …
PARDON THE HIATUS. I’ve been scrambling to finish an Easter-season video before Easter. These Bible-background videos sap a tremendous amount of time out of me because I’m an internet-taught rookie. I have to google nearly everything but my face, …
I JUST FINISHED the first draft of a paraphrase of the Gospel of John for the Casual English Bible. The idea for the paraphrase started as an experiment in Bible study. I decided to paraphrase Genesis while I worked on A Visual Walk Through Genesis. …
I DID SOME MATH FOR YOU. I had to. The scholar didn’t finish the job. (Sorry, you get a B+, which is fine. It would have been an A- if the math problem hadn’t shown up on the lead page.) I’m talking about an article in the current issue of Biblical …
BIBLE PEOPLE DON’T OFTEN SHOW UP in archaeological discoveries. But the man who sent Jesus to the cross—Roman governor Pontius Pilate—just recently made his second appearance. Scholars identified what appears to be the head of his signet ring, used …

SNOW PILED ON US over the weekend, here in the Kansas City area. It wasn’t a normal snow. It fell thick and heavy, clinging to houses, cars, and trees…pruning many trees, in fact. I don’t usually grab a coat and a camera whenever it …
I GOT SOME PUSHBACK to the 5-minute, all-you-need-to-know-about-the-Trinity video I released on New Year’s Day, The Trinity. I was a little leery of a line I paraphrased from the Gospel of John, which I’m working on now for the Casual English Bible. …
HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to 2019. May God have mercy on us all, and give us the desire, the drive, and the determination to make our little corners of the world kinder. I wrapped up 2018 by working up a five-minute video about the Trinity. It was …
