A Few Days with the Confraternity Bible: The Interlude

Posted On July 19, 2018 By Marc2 Comments

I’ve been spending some quality time with the Confraternity Bible this week, reading through the Gospel of Mark. I’ll also be reading 2 Corinthians to make sure I have a sample of how the translation dealt with Paul’s letters. I think it’s useful to read a translation at length to Continue Reading

Bible Study Tidbit: Paul’s Boast

Posted On July 3, 2018July 1, 2018 By Marc2 Comments

In 2 Corinthians 11:16, Paul begins his “foolish boasting.” Rather than giving the Corinthians a summary of impressive accomplishments to prove his legitimacy as an apostle, he launches into a list of his struggles and humiliations. At the very end of chapter 11, he includes this final boast, highlighted by Continue Reading
