Psalm 36 Links

I have been working on a commentary on the Psalms. I have decided to compile some helpful links that I discovered during my research. It includes a mix of exegetical and sermonic links. Here is what I have for Psalm 36 (in no particular order). Feel free to mention any that you find helpful in the comments section.

Proverbs and Biblical Theology

I have been enjoying the online presentations for this year's Evangelical Theological Society annual meeting. One advantage of having the meeting online rather than in-person is that one can see many more presentations. It is an example of the old adage, "when life gives you lemons . . . ." In any case, one paper I have enjoyed was Daniel Estes' paper, "Proverbs and Biblical Theology: Can This Slipper Fit?" Estes rightly decries the general failure to integrate material from Proverbs in many recent biblical theologies. I often tell my students that the wisdom literature is where biblical theologies go to die!

That being said, Estes does note that there are five contexts in which biblical theologians have tried to incorporate Proverbs. They are (1) connection to Solomon, (2) creation, (3) covenant, (4) general coherence with the worldview that pervades the Bible, and (5) the connection between Jesus and wisdom. Estes also suggests other possible ways but I will leave that for the video in the Biblical Theology: Wisdom and Biblical Theology section.

Sepphoris

William Barrick has a nice post here on Sepphoris with some good photos. Although the city is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, it was an important site in the time of Jesus.

Video: The Archaeology of Israel: Where Are We Today?

In September I posted on a free online conference sponsored by the Purchase College Jewish Studies Program on " The Archaeology of Israel: Where Are We Today?" (see here). The speakers included Eric Cline, J. P. Dessel, Jennie Ebeling, and James Hardin. You can now watch the conference on YouTube here.

Post-Exilic Timeline

Russell Meek has created a helpful timeline for the post-exilic period with reference to Ezra-Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, and Zechariah. You can view the timeline here.

Why Don’t the New Testament Authors Explain the Trinity?

 Greg Lanier asks and answers this question here.

Music in the Herodian Temple

Leen Ritmyer has a very interesting post here related to music in the Herodian temple with a specific focus on some recent archaeological information.

Genesis 12 and 22

More than one commentator has noted the parallels between Genesis 12 and 22 but Gary Rendsburg lays it out pretty nicely here.

Biblical Studies Resources for Undergraduate and Master's Students

I recently posted a list of New Testament resources created by Steve Walton for the academic study of the New Testament here. Now here is another list of biblical studies resources that focuses on undergraduates and master’s students.
