Shout out - IainH - 04-16-2018

I think it's important to share with each other sources that we find that help us to grow in faith. Now we don't all have the same interests but, that doesn't matter if what we bring blessed but one of our brethren/sistren then that is worth it. My interests include history and language, not learning to speak another language but, in particular, how ancient language communicated the heart of people and cultures long dead.
So, I'm giving a shout out for christianthinktank.com, the dude has a wealth of academic stuff for a whole range of interesting subjects. Currently, I'm on OT, very interesting stuff. The home page has a topic index that is huge.I couldn't in a million years stay focused long enough to do stuff like that, I'm an old crow whose head is on a swivel constantly looking for something interesting.

Bro. Glenn Miller is a living encyclopedia. If you could read a whole encyclopedia, you'd learn a lot, but most of us don't have that kind of drudgery mindedness. It's a good thing his stuff is so entertaining.

I believe I've been on that site a bunch of times in the past, but not recently. I can't believe how basic the site is...looking at the source code of some of the pages...and how unreliably his markup is. It's taking a lot within me to hold back from emailing him and offering my services to fix it up.

I went so far as to take his offer of a downloaded archive of the site. It's massive and I would despair at the task of trying to clean up his chaotic code. Even good scripts like Tidy would require some kind of manual follow-up. But his reach of detail in biblical literacy, presented in a place and manner within reach of average Bible readers, is without parallel.
