Preaching with PowerPoint?
I have and will preach with or without PowerPoint. If given the choice I normally use it. Craig Schill gives four reasons to use it here. I do think that media software can become a crutch and I have seen some PowerPoint presentations that seemed to serve little purpose other than to have it. I suspect that in most cases this has more to do with the preacher than the technology. As one of my preaching friends has said, "If you can't preach without it, then you can't preach with it." One other minor point, I think that the article is mistitled. This article actually has very little to say about whether Jesus would use PowerPoint.

Excerpt of Longenecker's Forthcoming Romans Commentary
Richard Longenecker's Romans NIGTC commentary is not yet available but you can access a 12-page excerpt here. I would have liked a little more of a sneak peak, especially of the commentary proper, but I suppose that something is better than nothing.
