Participatory Bible Study Blog has the new Christian Carnival where my post on the Holy Spirit makes an appearance. I haven’t gotten a chance to look through it just yet to pick out any highlights.
Here’s the past carnivals.
Month: September 2009
Every Christian knows about the Holy Spirit. He’s the guy who helps you preach, right? Or maybe, he’s the guy that wakes you up at night so you can feel lousy about the Cheesecake you had during your promised fasting period? Or is he the guy who teaches you how to pray? Every Christian really knows who the Holy Spirit is, right?

Prayer Monday: Paul
Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one comes from Paul (who surely added the amen to Epaphras): a compilation of his prayers to the Church of Ephesus and Colossae (Eph 1:16-20; Col 1, 4:12, 18)
Christian Carnival 295 is Up at the Evangelical Ecologist.My article on Corporate Solidarity vs. Federal Headship in Romans 5:12 is up there.
Other articles that caught my eye ( even if I don’t necessarily agree with them) are:
- Jeremy Pierce’s Longman, Literalism and Genesis (make sure to read the comments)
- John Howell’s Must I Confront “Bad” Christians
- Biblical Numerology
- I Hate Math
Past Carnivals can be found here at the Bible Archive.
A while ago, I shared some rambling thoughts on Romans 5:12 trying to decide how Paul envisions our relationship to Adam: is it akin to that of a Federal Head (whereby he acts as a representative for the whole within a covenantal situation and the whole’s decision is subsumed in his action) or to that of Corporate Solidarity (whereby people identify and unite in the way an individual, head of the family, leader—whatever—acts ). In this post I want to see how people have assumed one view and point out where I think the text leans.
