Psalm 66

I am 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 66 (in no particular order). Feel free to mention any that you find helpful in the comments section.

The Imporance of the Tabernacle in the Book of Exodus

Even a casual reading of Exodus suggests that the Tabernacle plays an important part of the book. Nearly a third of the book relates either to instructions related to its construction or to the construction itself and the pivotal golden calf incident which occurs between the instruction and construction shows why the Tabernacle was needed. The significance of the Tabernacle is also evident by comparing it to other important events in Exodus.

· The birth of Moses – 1 chapter
· The call of Moses – 2 chapters
· The ten plagues – 6 chapters
· The crossing of the Red [Reed] Sea – 2 chapters
· The Ten Commandments and Law – 6 chapters
· The Tabernacle – 13 chapters

Isaianic Scholarship in Allegory

Andy Abernethy's article from Didaktikos on Isaianic scholarship is available here. The bulk of the article tells the story through a creative allegory.

David Graves has a very nice post on Caesarea Maritima here.

I usually do outlines in sermons or class notes manually but David Stark has a helpful post here on how you can set up a style in Word that will do it automatically.

Joshua and Jericho Humor

Some more humor here from the Babylon Bee.

 

An Evaluation of After Jesus Before Christianity

Michael Kruger takes on three important arguments in the recent book, After Jesus Before Christianity here. There are a number of important takeaways but for me this underscores what is at stake in discussions of Canon and pseudepigraphy.

The Gospel of John Archaeologically Considered

Dave Armstrong does a pretty good job here summarizing details in the Gospel of John that can be linked to archaeological discoveries.

The Beatitudes in Luke 6

Careful readers of the Gospels note that there are differences between Jesus' beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12 and Luke 6:20-23. Ian Paul has a good post discussing those differences here.
