Welcome!

This blog is especially designed for MGVHoffman’s course on the “Old Testament in the New Testament” at LTSG for May, 2011. For class members, it will enable us to talk with each other, but we welcome the rest of the world to look over our shoulders. Please join in the discussion!

Members of the class will be able to start new posts. Everyone (i.e., the class and anyone else) will be able to comment on posts. When you start a new post, be sure to “categorize” your post by adding your initials. (This will allow us to quickly find the posts each person started.) Also try to provide another concise category (e.g., the Bible passage, a theme, …) so that we can keep the posts easily organized and more easily searched.

This is indeed a bit of an experiment, but let’s see how it goes!

This is the sort of perma-link to the Prezi I created, which you can access at any time: http://prezi.com/ziyhlur0bnlv/edit/#0_15588593

There appears to be a feature where you can follow along with the Prezi as I control it. If a few people could test this out to see if it works, that would be great!: http://prezi.com/presentation/jstecker@ltsg.edu/6a5y14u/

Ox and Ass at the Manger

Here’s a great explanation for why an ox and ass are so prevalent in the nativity scenes. As you might guess, it is a matter of OT in the NT…
