Trusting the New Testament: Did the chapter on the authorship of Ephesians. This is basically the same as what is on the site, and very short.

E-Block: Wrote my review of Chisholm’s Revelations on Ras Tafari.

Project S: Did some more technical background work.

Opposing Views: I mentioned a debate on the existence of Jesus some time ago. That is now posted at

My opponent is Frank “Fish in a Barrel” Zindler (who still thinks Annals 15.44 was forged, and holds to crazy ideas like the Nazareth myth) and John “Big Blog Lie” Loftus is commenting, though he agrees with my view this time at least in the Christ myth. I am prepping responses now, and did several today (which will be posted later).

Other: Did some initial prep work on a 12 week course I want to teach at my church under the title Answering the Assaults on Jesus – I’d like to cover things like the Christ myth, the Jesus Seminar, etc. If I do this it will start Jan. 25, 2009.

I’m On TV! Remember back in November when I went to Los Angeles? The pastor there has posted a couple of the videos: http://drcraigjohnson.net/VideoPlaylist/sermons.html When I last looked we had the ones up on Religulous and on the Christ myth.
