His Eye is on the Sparrow
I mentioned yesterday that I had the opportunity to talk to a group of elementary students about thankfulness. Just before I was invited forward to speak, we sang a children’s version of the song “His Eye is on the Sparrow.” How fitting. My favorite line: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He… Continue Reading

Best Resources for 2 Corinthians?
Mike tagged me with the question, so here are my suggestions: I agree with Mike on the NIGTC volume by Harris and the NAC volume by Garland, as well as the monograph by Savage. One might also find Barnett helpful (NICNT) or Thrall (ICC). Another nice monograph includes Long‘s Ancient Rhetoric and Paul’s Apology (Cambridge,… Continue Reading
