Still Digging: March 2010
http://douglaspmcpherson.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Ok, here is our account of one unforgettable wrong turn on our trip. After our lunch in the Rhodes courtyard, we then headed out to the beach for a little nap. (Pictures to come). I'd been looking at a topless, obese geriatric woman! Ohh, my eyes! Needless to say, Rebekah and I got off that beach as fast as we could. But the damage had already been done. I will forever bear on my mind visual proof that topless beaches, regardless of what seventh-grade boys may think, are a. Event...

Friday, October 29, 2010. My favorite travel gear (Part 1). One of my very favorite travel tools is my iPhone. And my latest favorite app HeyTell. In fact, with the latter I was able to talk to my wife almost every morning while in India, free of charge. Now, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to traveling with an iPhone. 1) You need an international data plan. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Still Digging: May 2010

Thursday, May 27, 2010. The Parthenon and Mars Hill as viewed from the ancient city of Athens). After touring the Parthenon and Mars Hill, we got to go down to the ruins of the ancient city of Athens. While the site itself is not as impressive as Ephesus, one does get a better picture of the Roman times by the restored stoa. Strip mall) in the midst of the Athenian ruins. Here are the original remains of the other stoa. Though Athens was not the only city that had three stoas in its agora. Which explains...

Still Digging: Delphi
http://douglaspmcpherson.blogspot.com/2010/08/delphi.html
Friday, August 6, 2010. What made Delphi truly a special stop to me, and what makes it a significant location in New Testament studies is its claim as home to the Gallio Inscription. This particular artifact establishes the date when Paul was in Corinth on his second missionary journey, and gives us a likely framework for dating all of Paul's ministry! I'll explain this in detail below, but first let's have a moment to stare in awe at the famed Gallio Inscription. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Still Digging: July 2009
http://douglaspmcpherson.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. This cave is held by the Catholic church to be the location where John received the vision of the Revelation. Though this is a bit fanciful, it does serve to help you think about what it may have been like for John to write there as a prisoner. Pictures are not allowed inside the cave, but our irreverent theology professor broke the rules! We're all glad he did, because we get to share them with you. Here we are just outside St. John's monastery. Links to this post. I am currently ...

Still Digging: A Philosophy of Missions
http://douglaspmcpherson.blogspot.com/2011/01/philosophy-of-missions.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. A Philosophy of Missions. This is rather old news, but several months ago, I was asked to add global missions to the ministries that I oversee. While the challenge has been quite daunting, it has also been a ball! I'll speak more about all of this later, but for the remainder of this post, I'd like to share the philosophy of missions that I have come to adopt.

Still Digging: February 2010
http://douglaspmcpherson.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. I need it. You do, too. And so does everybody else. Another question to ponder is this: Does such a model actually take seriously the damage that is done by moral wrongdoing? Or does it instead brush over the seriousness of the offense? Suppose a murderer spends the remainder of his life saving others. Can he really overcome the guilt of having taken a life? Will the thousands of lives he saves remove the pain, sorrow, and loss suffered by the family of his victim? Ultimately,...
