Craig Keener, Ph.D. conducted a series of seminars at Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) on the topic of miracles. He begins his defense by challenging historical and modern skeptics such as David Friedrich Strauss and David Hume and their view on miracles.

   

As a professor of Greek and New Testament at SAGU, I naturally champion the study of Biblical languages so here are 7 reasons why the original Biblical languages hold great promise for those who consecrate their time and effort to learn them.

   

In this highlight video from a SAGU lecture series, Craig Keener, Ph.D. explains the lessons modern Christians can learn from the topic of miracles.

   

Chances are, every single one of us at one time or another has been the victim of mistaken motives, simply because someone took something we said “out of context.” The fact is that without a full understanding of its socio-cultural context, any speech or action or event is subject to gross misinterpretation. The theological history recounted in Genesis 29:21—30:24 is an obvious case in point.

In this highlight video from a lecture on biblical archaeology, Christopher Gornold-Smith discusses the strange creatures mentioned in the Bible known as cherubim . Are these creatures some sort of angelic beings?

   

Odds are you did not pass over that title in apathetic disregard. Let’s face it; the statement reeks of blasphemy. But before you accuse me of being a “hairy tick,” or haul me before a tribunal for doctrinal purity, give ear to the following story.

   

Jesus’ imagery of a blind person leading a blind person (Matthew 15:14) is so familiar to most of us that it hardly elicits more than a quiet yawn. Altering the characters as in the above title just may create enough of a jolt to kick-start the engine of Jesus’ intention. Of course, it also risks offending all my fair-haired siblings in Christ, so for that I offer in advance my sincere apologies.
