If you missed it, the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Holy Bible has undergone some minor revisions this year. Its publisher, Crossway, has not released a list of changes, but a blogger Rick Mansfield has released a list of verse changes:

• Genesis - Deuteronomy
• Joshua - Esther
• Job - Song of Solomon
• Isaiah - Malachi
• Matthew - Acts
• Romans - Philemon
• Hebrews - Revelation

As the Rick has noted, the revision includes changes of spelling or grammar, and a few reflect mild theological change.

Christians Pleasantly Surprised by Time’s Pro-Bible Article.

Yes, geographers everywhere be aware: the Bible has been geocoded.  That’s the power of Geograhic Information Systems (GIS) for you, working for the glory of God!

In the recent conversations about the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, it was brought to my attention that the SDA considers founder Ellen G. White a true prophet.  They even state it in their Foundamental Beliefs (emphasis mine):

18. The Gift of Prophecy:
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen. G. White . As the Lord’s messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. (Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 12:17; 19:10.)
