Star Wars: The Clone Wars
I just cannot wait until August 15, 2008 and the release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is a full length movie that will kick off a cartoon series. Here is the link to the trailer and have a look/see. And was that Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as the ever amazing Mace Windu?

The Next Book I Am Going to Get…
is Richard Bauckham’s 2006 book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony. I read chapter 9 and why Papias was right to say that the primary source of the Gospel according to Mark is the apostle Peter. It was really good and the arguments are very persuasive. Based upon that chapter alone, I really recommend this book to defend the historical reliability of the four Gospels (not necessarily inerrancy).

That’s a Good Question
My cousin Henry Michael (aka Honzo at Hundie Jo [dot] Com) asks the question of the 1989 blockbuster Batman and this summer’s The Dark Knight, “Why So Similar?” Watch this video and you are forced to ask that question.
Personally, I like it!

A Thunderous, Roaring, Crushing Voice?
I had looked over J. J. Hiehaus’ work God at Sinai and wanted to post on a text that I found quite amazing. Niehaus argued that in Genesis 3:8
we don’t see God walking in the cool of the day in the garden but rather was coming in the wind of the storm based upon word studies done in Akkadian that line up with the Biblical Hebrew (Kind of makes one wonder about this past weekend’s tornadoes in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Georgia that killed 22 people at my last count). You can refer to this post for the citation. Niehaus offers an interesting translation of 1 Kings 19:12 which reads in the ESV,
And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.
This post will summarize the arguments and then posit some thought on the translation. You can find the arguments in detail in Niehaus’ book God at Sinai on pages 247-248.

This is the only movie I have seen to come out this summer that stands any chance at taking a shot at Iron Man. Go figure its about a billionaire play-boy/super hero. Go figure. Enjoy.

Iron Man Review (Spoilers Abound) Part 1
Yesterday (05/01/2008) has to be a day for the ages. First of all, I was able to see a friend that I hadn’t talked to (in person) for about three years! You really don’t realize how much you miss that person until a gap of that span is in place. It was truly a great delight. Second, I saw Iron Man the movie! The following is my review of the movie. Be warned, there will be spoilers.
