SMH New Testament
Some of you may have received an email yesterday from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announcing the publication of the New New Testament. I am calling this the SMH version, that is, the Shaking My Head Version. Here is part of the publisher's statement.
"To create this New New Testament, Hal Taussig called
together a council of scholars and spiritual leaders to discuss and reconsider
which books belong in the New Testament. They talked about these recently found
documen the lessons therein [sic], and how they inform the previously bound books.
They voted on which should be added, choosing ten new books to include in A New
New Testament. Reading the traditional scriptures alongside these new texts—the
Gospel of Luke with the Gospel of Mary, Paul’s letters with The Letter of Peter
to Philip, The Revelation to John with The Secret Revelation to John—offers the
exciting possibility of understanding both the new and the old better. This new
reading, and the accompanying commentary in this volume, promises to
reinvigorate a centuries-old conversation and to bring new relevance to a
dynamic tradition."

In Defense of the Lecture
A lecture is not the only way to teach or disseminate truth and it is not the best way to teach certain things, but I think that some of the criticisms of the method are unfair. Read Bruce Ashford's piece here.
