This is easily the most awesome piece of clothing I have ever seen:
And the Teespring “campaign” that offers it has enough pre-orders that it will go into production again! So you can order one now before the window closes.
Read details about Teespring and how it works here. You can go get the shirt ($20) or hoodie ($30) here.
There were more than 50 entries into the UBS5 Greek New Testament giveaway. (Click here to read more about that new edition of the GNT.)
Using a random number generator, the two winners are:
Congratulations! I’ll get in touch with both of you via email in order to get the Bible shipped out to you.
And check back here, too, or subscribe to the blog at the right of the top of the page. Just as I reviewed the impressive LXX-NA28 combo, I will soon be reviewing the UBS5 Greek New Testament.
This last week I visited what has to be the best bookstore in the cosmos. Loome Theological Booksellers bills itself as the world’s largest theological bookstore. It has great prices, an incredible selection (the Bonhoeffer section, for instance, had secondary literature in French and German), an easy-to-navigate layout, and a really nice owner.
Here are a few photos (click on any of them or open in a new tab/window to enlarge):
Here’s the annex. It’s enormous. The photos below just show part of it:
If you’re in the Minneapolis-St. Paul or Stillwater area, check it out! They’re having a $2 per book Labor Day sale that I was sorry to have missed by a couple of days.
By now many of you Words on the Word readers will have heard that the UBS edition of the Greek New Testament has recently been published in its fifth revised edition, the UBS5. See here for more.
Check out this smart graphic from Hendrickson Publishers announcing the edition (academia needs more good infographics):
Just as I reviewed the amazing LXX-NA28 combo, I will soon be reviewing the UBS5 Greek New Testament.
While I work my way through it, with just about a minute of your time and a few clicks, you can enter to win your own copy of the UBS5, thanks to the great people at Hendrickson Publishers.
Simply comment on this blog post with a short sentence on what interests you in the Greek New Testament. That will give you one entry.
If you share on Facebook and/or Twitter, and then come back and post the link to your share in the comments, you get two additional entries.
If you want to earn five additional entries, you can record a (however lo-fi) video of yourself answering the questions: Why does Bible translation matter? and: What does translating the Bible mean to you personally?
To receive those five additional entries, post the url to your video (whether you’ve uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc.) in the comments. Then others can see your video, too.
I’ll select two winners using a random number generator.
If you don’t want to wait for the results of the giveaway, you can find the UBS5 on sale at Amazon here (affiliate link) or through Hendrickson here.
The giveaway is open through Sunday, September 7, 11:59 p.m. EDT. On Monday I’ll notify the winner and post about it both here and in the comments below. Then Hendrickson will mail you your UBS5 GNT! (Note: Only domestic/U.S. shipping addresses are eligible for this contest, with apologies to the rest of the world!)
Make sure in when you leave a comment that you include your email address—I can use that to contact you, and the email address isn’t public.
Happy entering, and the folks at Hendrickson and I look forward to seeing your videos. Drop me a line if you have any questions.
Congratulations to Rick Mansfield, winner of the MyWerkz foldable Bluetooth keyboard. I used a random number generator to select the winner. Way to go, Rick, and enjoy! (P.S. See his nifty blog here.)

If you are looking for a bluetooth (wireless) keyboard to pair with your mobile device or tablet, and would like a chance to win one for free, you’ve clicked on the right link.
I recently engaged in more than 20 hours of classroom lecture, using just an iPad mini and the bluetooth keyboard pictured above for note-taking. Everything I needed for the class could fit in my pocket:
I’ll post a full review of the keyboard soon. It was a welcome time-saver with a strong battery life, and easy to pair with my device.
It also, according to its product page, works with iPhone and Android devices.
The folks at iWerkz have offered me an additional keyboard (purple, as shown above) for giveaway here at Words on the Word.
Simply comment on this blog post with a short sentence on how you’d use the keyboard. Or you can just say hi. For a second entry, share the link to this post on your Facebook, Twitter, via mind meld, etc., and let me know in the comments section that you did.

I’ve just set Words on the Word to a new font. You’ll see it as you are reading this post and moving through the site.
What do you think? Feedback is welcomed. I’m going for bigger (last font was pretty small) and easily readable/skimmable.
You can see a preview of the new font in the image below, or click on the image to go to that original post and see the font in action.
