• Apparently Dr. Keener does not monitor posts to this group, unfortunately.

    1. It was probably set up for him by Logos. Does he even post anything here?

  • Bart Ehrman says the Gospel of Matthew was not written by Apostle Mathew. Four gospel were written in perfect Greek language but the Mathew was not much educated. So what is your opinion. Who wrote the gospel of Mathew and the realiability of the gospel? Please explain ..... i have downloaded some of your books recently and will start to read your books ....

    1. I'm just going through the course NT309 (Critical Issues in the Synoptic Gospels). This is a massive blessing for me right now. Thanks so much for recording it, and making it available at discount last month. God bless you!!!

        2. In the NIVAC Revelation you state, "Scholars debate whether “sexual immorality” in Revelation 2:14 refers to literal prostitution, such as the prostitution sometimes conducted in pagan temples, or to a spiritual adultery that leads astray from God. Sexual immorality was rife in the eastern Mediterranean—no less common than today. Nevertheless, in view of the frequent use of the image in the Hebrew Bible (e.g., 2 Kings 9:22; Jer. 3:9; 13:27; Ezek. 16:15–36; 23:7–35; Hos. 1:2; 4:12; 5:4; Nah. 3:4) and especially in view of the “prostitute” later in this book (Rev. 17:1, 15–16), the spiritual sense seems more likely here and in 2:20." I understand the point you're making. I wonder though, in consideration of things like Galatians 5:19ff, and Eph. 5:1f, Col. 3, 1 Thess4:3, 1 Tim 1:10, or 1 Cor.5:1-6:18, and considering that the thrust of the Rev. passage seems to be somewhat more focused on the teaching (without excluding the deeds), it would seem that some of our modern grace heavy teachings in the church today, which deny that a "saved" person can be condemned, fall into this category of teaching. Is our view (modern mainstream church) of grace focused on the gift and not the giver, the blessings and not the curse? Have we fallen into this teaching of Balaam, all the while claiming grace, and refusing to see our idolatries?

          1. Dr Keener, I love your work and your insights into scripture. I have noticed that most good commentaries, including yours, make quotes from texts that are outside of the Bible. Could you tell me what is the value of these extra-biblical texts and how they help us understand the scripture. Thanks
