Announcing Two New Pages

I have added two new pages to this site. Click on the links in the titles below to be directed to them.
  • The Berea Page - a two-page e-zine taking its title and goal from the example of the Jews in Berea and other biblical exhortations to examine and test what we hear and believe. Use this link sign up to receive new issues as they are completed. 
  • Publications & Papers - A listing of various materials I have published and collection of research papers, reviews, and longer teaching articles.
Truth Applications is a title designed to reflect a determination to search for, understand, and explain truth. I believe  that, as Immanuel, Jesus embodies and reveals the most significant truth (John 1:14; 8:32; 14:6, 9; 17:17). I believe everyone should know, love, and live in imitation of his example and teaching. My search is admittedly incomplete since I am, by virtue of limited understanding and failure to match God's glory, imperfect. But, like Paul, I seek to better "know him . . . , pressing on . . . because Christ Jesus has made me his own" (Philippians 3:12). ~ David Anguish

Obiter Dicta
"an incidental or passing remark, opinion, etc." ~ Dictionary.com

Quotations I've found especially thought-provoking
“We are impatient with Mystery, especially with a capital M. We read a fathomless profundity like the Book of Job and we say, ‘But what’s the bottom line?’” - Peter Kreeft, Making Sense Out of Suffering, 27

“The whole point about a relationship with God is not what one gains in personal safety or material prosperity, but in fellowship with him and peace of mind.” - John White, Daring to Draw Near: People in Prayer, IVP Classics update edition, 40.
