Rather than nickel & dime y'all, I'll just throw out a few more links of stuff I've run across recently:

  • Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies. Chances are you may know about this. You don't need to have deep knowledge of the Syriac language for the material to be valuable. For instance, this article is kind of cool. Browse around and see if you can find something.
  • Bellingham Trail Guide. I know, many of you aren't in Bellingham, WA (Why not? Logos is hiring!). But if you are, then check out this map of trails in Bellingham Parks.

Lastly, I thought I'd mention some recently released Logos products. These are books (resources) that will work in your existing LDLS installation or by themselves if you don't have the LDLS installed:

  • Nag Hammadi Library in English: Fourth Revised Edition. How can you not want this? Translations of all your favorite Coptic codices. This is the fourth edition of Robinson's edition.
  • Eerdmans' Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament. This one is cited in BDAG with some frequency. Look for 'EDNT' at the end of articles; that's when you're being referred to this resource. If you don't have BDAG, buy it first. But if you do have BDAG ... EDNT is an excellent supplement.
  • Pillar New Testament Commentary (8 vols). Eerdmans is the publisher, D.A. Carson is the General Editor. It's not a technical commentary (a la WBC, ICC or NIGTC) but strives to convey the information needed for accurate exegesis. If you like WBC's "Comment" sections, but could do without the "Form/Structure/Setting" or "Notes" sections ... this one may be more your speed. Only eight volumes are presently in print: Matthew, Mark, John, Romans, Ephesians, Thessalonians, James, Johannine Epistles.

Ok, I'm going to get out of "corporate shill" mode now ... but I thought y'all really might be interested in those titles.


Update (2005-06-23): My Mom asks me about the trails. I've been on a few. Amy and I have been through a decent portion of Whatcom Falls park, as well as around Lake Padden a number of times. And Boulevard Park too. But I haven't been on the trails in Cornwall Park ... maybe we'll head there sometime in the next few weeks.
