  1. Lately, Hope has been *insisting* that my dissertation is about Butterflies. #StartingToBelieveHer
  2. Sometimes old bks speak apt wrds: "There is nothing to be gained from reading through this tittle-tattle" (von Campenhausen, Formation, 223)
  3. Clearly, this is where D. Trobisch's argument re the formation of the Pauline corpus falls apart. #ManuscriptEvidence twitter.com/chedspellman/s…
  4. "@OEDonline: The only place you find success before work is in the dictionary."
  5. H. and I are pondering an intense existential quandary: If the Man with the Yellow Hat loses his Yellow Hat, what has he become? Who is He?
  6. .@zbowden wanted to go see the justin beiber movie in 3d, but i convinced him to see Avengers instead. #harderthanshouldvebeen
  7. An anecdotal tautology: Cheap expresso tastes like cheap expresso. #NowiKnow
  8. Heads up @SWBTS MDiv students, if you take Church History II this summer with @ZBowden, you will *not* be dissapointed twitter.com/chedspellman/s…
  9. @dustinbruce @drjasonklee Churches typically tell me that *before* I get there to soften the blow.
  10. That's the Word on the street: bit.ly/HvQeLX
  11. "No one has lied to you, deceived you, and betrayed you more than you have." @MattChandler74 #ExplicitGospel
  12. .@wkenney Yes! Kruger attempts to set the historical discussion of canon in a theological framework. A helpful evangelical contribution.
  13. “@stephenaltrogge: If shepherding a child's heart doesn't work there's always the offer of ice cream.”
  14. @wkenney Absolutely. That's an appropriate response, too, b/c the quotation comes from a discussion of "recycled" scholarship. :)
  15. Great sentence by Bockmuehl: "By the late 20th c, the Neutestamentler's cappuccino had too frequently become all froth and no coffee."
  16. I just read that Adolf von Harnack had published over 90 publications by the time he was 27. A decent pace.
  17. @danieldriver The only things missing are flashing .gifs and a vertically scrolling marquee.
  18. One of my favorite word pictures in Bockmuehl's Seeing the Word: bit.ly/HCeLgL
  19. "We cannot venture into the Bible as tourists, we must become inhabitants of the land" (M. Magrassi, via: bit.ly/HNZ0pT).
