Exegetically SpeakingWhat Was From the Beginning, with Elizabeth Mburu: 1 John 1:1-4John's longer letter begins with a series of clauses headed by neuter relative pronouns without clear antecedents.

Exegetically SpeakingThe Messianic Whipper Snapper, with N. Clayton Croy: John 2:15The RSV's translation of the "cleansing of the temple" in John 2:15 is in part, "And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple." John's Greek, however, suggests that Jesus was using the whip only on the animals, which might have other implications for interpretation. Dr. Croyis the author of a widely used beginning Greek grammar, A Primer of Biblical Greek, and The Mutilation of Mark's Gospel, among other things. His newest book, forthcoming in December, 2025, is

Exegetically SpeakingWhose Koilia is This?, with Jennifer Houston McNeel: John 7:38The NRSV translates John 7:38, "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water." Behind that stand entangled questions of the punctuation of the Greek sentences (punctuation is lacking in the earliest manuscripts), the meaning of the word κοιλία (koilia), and whose koilia is in mind. Another translation could be, "Out of Jesus' womb flow rivers of living water," which fits nicely with John's wider context. Dr. Jennifer McNeel is a NT professor at St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute in Baltimore, MD. She also teaches at United Lutheran Seminary and is active in leading church retreats. She has authored Paul as Infant...
