Review of Beale’s Handbook at The Blog of the Twelve
I’ve just recently learned about The Blog of the Twelve. Based on what I’ve seen so far, it’s recommended reading, especially for folks with an interest in the Minor Prophets. There is a good book review from that blog of G.K. Beale’s Handbook on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. (That book was a … Continue reading
Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) in Accordance 10
The next generation of the Biblia Hebraica Stutttgartensia (BHS) is the Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ).

BHS module in Accordance 10, reviewed

Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, edited by G.K. Beale and D.A. Carson, is available as an add-on module in Accordance 10.
