Oops typo mistake. Correction - do you actually read? And how fast do you read? And how many books 📚 in a year?

Hey Dr. Bird just curious how many books do actually read at time without becoming overloaded to much and loose comprehension Also how fast do read do read on estimate and how many books do read in a year? Besides daily lectionary readings from BCP

Thank you, Michael. Very enjoyable.

My reading list has no room for "God's Israel and the Israel of God" at present, but could certainly make time for, say a 30 minute explanation of the spectrum of supersessionism. I was relieved to read your comments as all I have read has been critical of supersessionism while, as you said, it seemed to me to be unavoidable at some level for a NT Christian.

Secondly, I am eager for your parallel NT. It sounds great. Please allow me to whine just a tad: I am trying to learn some Greek (not university or seminary trained in any of this stuff), but any Greek edition that I have seen seems to have been produced by people with an odd affinity for very small Greek letters. Would love to be able to study without a magnifying glass if you can see fit to convince the printers.

Finally, a curiosity question with little practical impact for me at this time of life: would Ridley College allow a non-matriculated American to meet you in Turkey for study?

Thanks.

Thank you Dr. Bird! Sounds like an exciting year. My favorite N.T. Wright book is The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is.
