It’s out! Thanks to everyone who already purchased a copy! @BakerAcademic

@MadisonPierce Love this! Thank you!

@maxbotner Just a little thread x.com/madisonpierce/…

Much of life resides in Holy Saturday: full of unanswered questions, dashed hopes, grief over suffering and injustice, etc.—in the hope of resurrection. For those who don’t feel prepared to perform Easter faith, the crucified one comes to embrace you just where you’re at.

@MadisonPierce 💯 I’d love to hear your reflections!

@maxbotner I was just writing something very similar. I’m grateful for Holy Saturday.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another" (John 13:34). The Lord Jesus Messiah gives the central commandment (Lat. mandatum) for his people, and then on the next day, he shows us what love looks like. Blessed Maundy Thursday!

Book release day!

@CaioPeres18 Yes, it definitely isn’t perfect. It’s also very difficult to correct. I had to ask it several times to fix the spelling of kipper.

@maxbotner It used the same contrast of cold and warm, wooden and relational, about how people understand Leviticus and what it really is. And it used the concept of "mechanics" to speak about the cult, which is cold and wooden. Interesting to see a pattern in how it process our language.

I used NotebookLM to capture key insights from my first public lecture on Leviticus. It did a pretty good job, I think. Central takeaway: Leviticus is about the Creator God's desire to dwell among his people!

I had a blast chatting w/ two of my favorite biblical scholars, Drs. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott and Libby Backfish, about their excellent new book Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible. YouTube: youtu.be/fRGKuQXA8DU?si…

@prolibertypod @eerdmansbooks That’s awesome! Thank you!!!

@maxbotner @eerdmansbooks Hey, no problem! I’ve been listening to your podcast since the first episode and love your work! I plan on recommending this book for my small group at church!

Reading @maxbotner’s new @eerdmansbooks ‘How Then Shall We Read?’ is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! An amazing book on biblical interpretation!
