New Volume on the Psalms in the Studies in Theological Interpretation Series

So, What's on Your "iPod"?

Well, I don't use an iPod; they're too pricey. Rather, I use a Sansa Express and I've really liked the way that it works. If you don't have one already I would recommend the Sansa product line.

Anyway, what I've seen and read on a number of blogs, lately, has to do with online sermons and lectures by well known preachers and teachers. Actually, this is a great way to learn about authors whom you've heard about but have not had the opportunity to read their works. I'm thinking in particular of theologians such as N. T. Wright, Ben Witherington, III, D. A. Carson, Gordon Wenham, and others. I've learned a lot about these men by hearing from them first-hand. On top of that, conferences are expensive so it is a great service to the public that many of these sermons and lectures can be downloaded from the internet.

I try to listen to something on my way to and from work, and while I run. This has been a great way to redeem a lot of dead time. Sure, peace and quite is often invaluable, but when I can I try to listen to good sermons or lectures.

Here's what's on my Sansa...
