We will finish the Gospel of Mark in Greek just before Advent. We are finishing chapter 12 next Wednesday.
We will start on the Gospel of John, aiming at beginners and veterans, on Ash Wednesday. I will try to gather a post on getting reading for it, with various resources on it. Anyone who starts with some practice in Greek will find it easier to digest as we start. Listen up - Greek is easy, and the Gospel of John uses the simplest language possible. The Fourth Gospel is also the most powerful, so going through it phrase by phrase is quite an experience for anyone.
I sent out some new booklets last week and will send more this week. If you think you have been overlooked, send me an email at greg.jackson.edlp@gmail.com
The next small project will be to gather quotations from the Household Sermons of Luther, three volumes, which we published lately. Then, if possible, the four volumes will be merged into one pdf and given away on the Net. Warren Malach and Alec Satin made that possible, with illustrations from Norma A. Boeckler.
I will be working on more projects for the Bethany Lutheran Mission in the Philippines.
Of the promised projects, I am working on how to present American Lutheran history, more along the lines of doctrinal trends, so it will be something like The Two Pietisms, ELCA versus the Synodical Conference. I may add to the Ichabod Lutheran Dictionary, one item at a time.
In the near future we are meeting with Glen Kotten, dateline Sioux Falls, God willing and the cricks don't rise.
