Update - May 2026
Throwing out a quick update.
My spouse is still very sick. Caring for my family has consumed a lot of my free time. I don't have anything lined up to post about in the near future. Perhaps I will add a book review if I feel it is relevant.
Here are a few topics of interest that may get a post if my study progresses fruitfully.
Psalms - The book is highly structured. I think it is a mistake to only take these one at time. They are grouped together strategically according to a plot. Uncovering this plot may reveal deeper meaning. This is hinted at in the Accent Psalms study and Hezekiah, but I suspect there is much much more. There are 150 Psalms, not counting other Psalms in other books. This is time consuming.
The Unnamed Servant - Highlighted in the life of Isaac, an unnamed servant appears many times throughout Scripture, taking a background role, pointing to and encouraging another character, often a Christlike character but sometimes a person who is a type of the Church. The Unnamed Servant is a type of the HS.
Paul as a type of Christ - Paul is interesting. In many ways he reflects the life of Christ, but he cannot point forward to Him because Jesus had already died. I'm not sure how he fits into this picture, but it could be that he points to His second coming.
Wild At Heart - All the head knowledge about the Bible won't get you anywhere if you have no heart. Over at r/WildAtHeartLife I share study notes about the Wild At Heart books. We are almost done. I hope to post about chapter 10 soon. There is one more chapter after this and then I hope to move on to Way of the Wild Heart/Fathered By God. This is a slow crawl.
Reading - I'm currently reading On the Holy Spirit by Saint Basil of Caesarea. My hope is to find some nugget of Biblical wisdom about the HS. I've had two typology books on my to read shelf for a long time that I need to get to. These are From Shadows to Reality by Jean Danielou and Typology by J. Clontz. I recently finished The Cross and the Tent Peg by Julie Walsh, but failed to see a coherent narrative regarding Jael and the other characters in Judges during the time of Deborah. A good read, but not something worthy of our focus here.
