Also Dr. Bird I recommend Alexei Navalny Patriot a Memoir(translation from Russian of his writings telling his story his dissident movement he led. His talks much of his reading the Bible while in prison and speaking highly of Jesus ! I hope and pray he was a genuine believer in Jesus.

A Dr. Bird glad had a great time exploring in person places of NT with students. Maybe in this lifetime I may be able to see it, but unlikely right now. Looking forward to your writing on the current geopolitical world right now. I’ve been following a lot of what’s been happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦/Russia War and then just recently the election of President Trump(which I didn’t vote and it’s amazing he back?, but God is in control and sovereign so need not worry as a Christian) the word is very unstable now. I recommend a book I just recently read titled Autocracy Inc. by Anna Applebaum to learning more about the Autocratic movement happening all over the world now. Godbless looking forward to posts

I grabbed a copy of your new Romans translation/paraphrase at ETS! Your trip sounds wonderful and looking forward to hearing more about it and seeing the fruit that comes from such a journey. Thanks for sharing with us!

Michael,

Welcome home.

If the opportunity ever presented itself, I would be eager to join a study group like yours. Are there any that you would recommend? Not likely that I'd actually matriculate at Ridley.

Crazy, but important, question regarding your new book: font for the Greek? I don't know why the Greek so often is what appears to be several font sizes less than the translation.

Thanks.

Peter Murphy
