@mrdavidrowe @Young_Anglican It’s a relatively recent translation that uses the Textus Receptus as its (NT) base text.

@Young_Anglican I love comparing translations, and I've never heard of the MEV

@Salter7c If only David remembered the state of Bob’s teeth when he claimed he lost nine of them by biting into a refrigerated KitKat Chunky.

@drmedders That endorsement is so meaningful coming from someone who knows as much about Spurgeon’s interpretation of the Song of Solomon as you do! I’m incredibly grateful!
English
So excited for this to release! It was total joy to read and endorse.

A new volume of the Spurgeon Commentary on the Song of Solomon & Jonah (as well as six redesigned older volumes) will be out next week! I edited it, so you know it’ll be great! Also, Spurgeon himself is pretty good. elliotritzema.com/2026/01/30/upd…

Half-baked thesis: the aim of our new AI regime is to create "intelligent" tools that are not human, but that resemble humans as much as possible.
Unlike other human-beings, though, these human-like tools are designed entirely to serve us, to meet our desires.
We used to have a name for these types of 'human-like' tools: we called them slaves.
The relationship between a user and an AI-bot is much nearer to one of dominance than someone who uses Google to search the internet. AI-usage will only deepen our 'libido dominandi' by giving us the satisfaction of being served by increasingly humanlike machines.
Soon AI agents will be so good that we'll need to discuss giving them the vote--or at least 3/5ths of one, anyway.

the number of Christians who are somehow confused about whether Thiel is the good guy when he named his company "piece of techne which canonically is used by bad guys to their own destruction and despair" is uh surprising to me

It's going to be tough for startups when all the Lord of the Rings names are taken and the only thing left is something like Bombadil AI.

I’ve started reading Demons, and I don’t think Dostoevsky gets enough credit for his weird, dark, almost absurdist sense of humor.
“They lived together for about three weeks, and then parted as free people not bound by anything; also, of course, because of poverty."

Ashley hates asking for reviews, but I HAVE NO SUCH COMPUNCTIONS. WRITE A REVIEW OF HER BOOK ALREADY.
Ashley Lande@ashley_lande
I hate asking for reviews. It makes me feel like I'm selling something and yet... I am kinda selling something! But I'm proud of the story I wrote, grateful to the editorial team at Lexham Press who helped to refine it and believed in it enough to publish a relatively unknown writer, forever indebted to the faithful people who witnessed to me, and even more in awe of the grace of God through Jesus Christ that saved me. So, for my birthday, if you've read it and enjoyed it (or not - honestly, any review drives that insatiable algorithm), I would love your review, on Amazon, Goodreads or elsewhere!

Pet peeve: people saying "humbleness" instead of the much easier "humility."

@oblatenate Yes! I'm familiar with Thornton, and that concept from his book English Spirituality. And I agree that Pierced by Love is a good example of it!
English
Boersma: “[D]ivine books require divine reading… To read the Scriptures sacramentally is to look for Christ as the content of the biblical text… [Origen] makes absolutely no distinction between lectio divina and regular Bible reading. They are one and the same thing.”
English
@oblatenate Glad you're reading this! It is so good; Hans marries the academic and devotional really well in it I think (but I am biased).

All I want to know is what kind of books Garlic Press is publishing these days.
TulipGirl@tulipgrrl
Garlic Press recommendations? Need to replace mine. Strong preference for one that is easy to clean and can be run through the dishwasher, as well as being durable.

@jamesrwoodtheo @wagraham 1 is Sermon 4 on the OT: Esau and Jacob (p. 34).
2 is Homily 87 on John 15:17–19 (p. 314).
And I get it. Digital is great for searching, but when I'm reading something straight through, I much prefer print (and my mind hangs on to it better).
English
@ehritzema @wagraham I wish I wasn't so committed to print copies sometimes. Would make my life a lot easier! Instead of frantically searching through the indices of all the hardcovers!
Can you help me find these two? I have a lot of similar quotes, but I can't recall where these two are...

Augustine on preaching:
"The preacher explains the text; if he says what is true, it is Christ speaking."
English
@jamesrwoodtheo @wagraham I have the entire New City Press set of his works in Logos, so yes!
English
@ehritzema @wagraham thanks! do you have a good way to search his works for quotes? i have another one i had trouble finding again last night.
English
@wagraham I forgot to write it down. Was working through a lot of Augustine last night. If I stumble upon it again I will let you know.

@suzania is a thief who breaks in via smoot called a smoot criminal

never gonna think about the smoot-Hawley tariff the same way again
Alan Cleaver@thelonningsguy
A smoot is a hole left in a drystone wall for rabbits or other small animals to get through. I see many on my walks but this one (from Ambleside) has to be the most elaborate. A cathedral among smoots!

@pauljpastor Denting another Subaru in a Trader Joe's parking lot?

Why do I feel like Subaru owners are simply incapable of committing crimes? Like, what crime could I possibly visualize a Subaru owner committing? There are none.
