Tim,

A Renascence man if I ever saw one. From Simply Jesus to Gamera.

Merry and blessed Octave of Christmas to you and thank you for your Blog.

The commentaries are good. I've not read any NT Wright even with his copious output, but I've been considering the three-volume "Resurrection of the Son of God" series, if only it was cheaper (3 short softcovers for $75 - I'd rather have Keil and Delitzche 10-volume for $65 on a limited budget, or some more Balthasar, or Barth's Dogmatics for $100, etc.) - what perspective does he write from (i.e. strongly Protestant like Barth or the editors of the Early Church Fathers, strongly Anglo-Catholic, broad church, evangelical, conservative, liberal, moderate)?

All I can say about the other is U(GHH)2.

Sorry, Tim. I didn't realize till too late that it came out a while ago.

Mike,

No problem. The article from the Sacred Page made it sound like it just came out. Actually, it was published late last year. There are many things to like about it, but it is in serious need of cross-references and an expanded maps section.
