Does Jacob’s Wrestling with the Angel Prefigure Christ’s Death?
I had a quarter of an hour to spare earlier today, so started to answer the questions that had been sent to me. I’ll try to answer one a day, for the next week or so. Keep the questions coming! Oh, and biblical theological questions take priority.

Calling for Questions!
I’ve just made the following video inviting people to send me any questions that they might have. If you have any biblical theological questions, you can leave them in the comments of the video, in the comments here, send me an email, or leave a question on my Curious Cat account.
Is Peter the Rock on which the Church is Built?
In the following video, I discuss a recent article from the Calvinist International by Joe Minich, trying to discern the relevant background for Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 16:13-23. See the rest of my videos (and subscribe) here.

Priest, King, Prophet
While it is very far from the most articulate or well-ordered treatment of the subject (like the rest of my videos it is done without any notes or preparation, off the top of my head), the following is a brief introduction to the priest-king-prophet paradigm for understanding Scripture.

Jesus as the Greater Ezekiel in Luke 3-4
I recorded a video earlier this evening, talking through the interpretation of Luke 3-4 against the background of Ezekiel. It is an experiment and clearly leaves much to be desired. However, if people like it, I might do this and other videos more regularly (and hopefully in a more organized and less rambling fashion!). For instance, if people have questions that they would like me to answer, recording a video is quicker than much writing a blog post.
From Gutenberg to YouVersion: The Word of God and the Technology of the Word
My recent Davenant Institute lecture on the subject of the significance of textual technologies for our engagement with Scripture has just been posted on Youtube:
I recently enjoyed watching Dr. Christopher Schlect’s highly informative and stimulating lecture in the same series.
