The Berea Page is an e-zine named from the example of the Jews in Berea who examined Paul's preaching about Jesus as the Christ to see if what he said was so (Acts 17:11) and written with the assumption that other New Testament texts that commend the examination habit should be taken seriously, namely that God's people should:
  • test and confirm what we hear (e.g., 1 Thess 5:21; 1 John 4:1);
  • follow the example of the earliest Jesus followers who invited their hearers to examine their claims (cf. Acts 26:26);
  • prepare to make a defense of the reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15).

Each issue (15 annually) will include a feature article (about 600 words), mainly focused on matters related to why we believe in Jesus, enduring trials and suffering with faith, and the relationship between faith and truth.

Also included will be a sidebar column with quotations, pointers, and/or references to materials designed to
  • encourage better Bible study
  • increase awareness of cultural trends that raise questions for our faith
  • give updates on my writing and teaching projects.​
