Rich's first blurb for us was just "Hmmm," but we asked him for a bit more.

It's been 20 years since this fantastic article from @DrJimHamilton was published: equip.sbts.edu/publications/… I remember reading it not long after it was released and wishing I could do a PhD with that guy.

6 years ago (in Sept 2020) my book 40 Questions About Typology and Allegory released. To this day, it's still the most controversial thing I've written (I think!). If you want to engage hermeneutics and church history on important topics, check it out! The Bible is about Jesus.

The man in John 5:5 had been an invalid for "thirty-eight years." That's a very specific--and not round--number. Could the number simply indicate a long duration of affliction? Sure. Could the number connect to the Old Testament? Hmm. The span of thirty-eight years is used in the Old Testament one time, and it refers to the period of time of Israel's wandering in the wilderness (Deut. 2:14). Commentators on John seem inclined against any symbolism or OT connection. Carson, Klink, Keddie, Osborne (and others) all say no. But...

Yes! I enjoyed listening to this.
Don’t tell @scottrswain I said this, but he is one of the absolute gems of evangelical theology. Godly, thoughtful, measured, brilliant, and insightful. Always an encourager behind the scenes to those of us who look up to him. This interview with @albertmohler is a great example: piped.video/RxUZv45Q5iw

So pleased to receive this endorsement of The Path to the Pulpit from @JoelBeeke: “This manual is a significant contribution to the field of homiletics.” @mitchellchase

I feel this.
It’s the year of our Lord 2026. We have cars that drive themselves and robots that know Kung Fu. But we still can’t add comments to footnotes in Microsoft Word.

Lemme tell you some good news: There's a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar.

Here is an example of what others are saying about The Path to the Pulpit. @mitchellchase and I wrote this to help pastors. Releases Oct 15 from @BHAcademic. Here’s what Joel Gregory, a prince among preachers, has to say: “marinate yourself in this book.”

This from @ReadBakerBooks looks fascinating, and I'm looking forward to digging in. I've enjoyed reading more about the topic of natural law.

We’re just over a month away from the release! Available October 15 from @BHAcademic! We wrote this for preachers, teachers, & students of God’s Word to gain a greater appreciation for its riches. We hope the book will be like a shovel in your hand to help you dig deeper!
When we study Scripture and prepare to preach, the questions we ask are important. And the right questions are not new. They're ancient, time-tested, trustworthy. This October, The Path to the Pulpit: Four Ancient Questions for Faithful Preaching releases from @BHAcademic. @drandrewhebert and I wrote this book to strengthen and encourage preachers. Every week they tread an old path as they ascend to the pulpit. And there is help along this path--help that sounds like these questions: 1) What does the text mean? 2) How does the text show Christ? 3) How does the text apply to me? 4) How does the text give me hope? The Path to the Pulpit is theological and practical. It engages hermeneutics and homiletics. It delves into church history to mine the riches of the saints on whose shoulders we stand. Our goal was to offer a fresh treatment on the subject of faithful preaching. We were honored to receive strong endorsements from Robert Smith Jr, Richard Barcellos, Hershael York, Brandon Smith, Stephen Presley, Dustin Messer, Joel Lawrence, Joel Gregory, Daniel Dickard, Brian Arnold, and Joel Beeke. Preaching is a glorious and sacred responsibility. We hope The Path to the Pulpit will increase your joy and confidence in proclaiming the Scriptures. You can pre-order it right now. If you want to support the book's upcoming release, share this post so that awareness will spread. Do you meet with a cohort of preachers and talk about the craft? Do you teach workshops on preaching? Do you teach courses on preaching? Are you looking for new material on the blending of hermeneutics and homiletics? We hope you'll consider including this book.

Stoked about this book coming out in 2027. Thanks for the shout-out Tom!
I just read and endorsed an excellent book by @mitchellchase titled "Heaven and the Things Above." It is a must read. Watch for it from Baker Books.
