In the spring I presented two talks for CIU's annual Tolkien Talks, this year on J.R.R. Tolkien and sub-creation. We recorded the talks and recently started a podcast called "The Tolkien Talks." The first talk is now available! tinyurl.com/u2dv9zuy

Thanks once again to the Arbeitsgruppe für Biblische Archäologie for the opportunity to present at their recent conference on “Writing in Biblical Times”! I'm grateful for everyone’s generosity at the conference and thankful for the connections that were made there.

Diving deeper into Biblical Hebrew in this session! Thankful to make a humble contribution to the forthcoming book by Chip Hardy and Mathew McAffee. Thankful also to reviewers Benjamin Noonan, Catherine McDowell, JoAnna Hoyt, and moderator Miles Van Pelt. #ETS22 #ETS2022

My wife recently published a handbook for applying principles from second language acquisition to teaching Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. It’s been GlossaHouse’s top-seller at the conferences this year! glossahouse.com/product-page/a…

Excited to discuss the law and the Christian in OT Theology class today. I find this thought helpful: “We need to shift our thinking...away from the ‘limit’ or ‘extent’ of application of the law….The issue is not how much of the law applies, but how it applies” (R.E. Averbeck).

I’m happy to see the following Festschrift now published and presented to one of my professors and mentors, Nili Fox. My contribution is entitled “An Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat: The Style and Significance of Joseph’s Garment.” isdistribution.com/BookDetail.asp…

Exciting Opportunity. Give yourself the gift of experiential knowledge in our Biblical Egypt Study Tour! It's open to everyone but hurry. Seats fill up quickly. Application Deadline is Dec. 28, 2022: ciu.edu/EgyptTour #SignUp #WorthTheExperience #StudyAbroad

My copy of the new Tolkien Dogmatics arrived in the mail. Looking forward to reading through this one!

The second Tolkien Talk is now up: “J.R.R. Tolkien as Sub-Creator.” Enjoy! And, if you haven’t heard the first one, “J.R.R. Tolkien’s Concept of Sub-Creation,” you should check it out as well! open.spotify.com/show/6ydPmzvCJ…

All assignments for the semester are now graded, and final grades are in.

Had an interesting conversation with some faculty and students about biblical commentaries yesterday. They can be a helpful resource. But, with notable exceptions, many commentaries today don’t make much of a unique contribution. What do others think about writing commentaries?

My wife, Dr. Jennifer Noonan, recently talked with Dr. Michael Halcomb of GlossaHouse about biblical language learning and her new book, which is on sale through January 31. Give it a listen and get the book! glossahouse.com/podcast/episod…

In this episode of ProveText, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb interviews Dr. Jennifer E. Noonan on learning Biblical languages and annouces a special SALE! Check it out at youtube.com/@glossahouse #biblicallanguages #ancientlanguages #glossahouse

Happy International Septuagint Day!

Yesterday's Hebrew Discourse Conference was a rousing success! 125 participants (1/2 in person), 18 papers, a plenary on the history and future of the field by Benjamin Noonan, and a panel discussion. Today we're resting. Tomorrow we start planning for the next one. :)

Back home after a great Hebrew Discourse Conference (hebrewdiscourse.com) at Dallas International University! Shout out especially to Todd Scacewater and JoAnna M. Hoyt for organizing such an excellent conference. Thanks also to all the presenters for their interesting papers.
