The Passion Translation: A Review of the treatment of Hebrews

The Passion Translation A couple of weeks ago I came across a review of The Passion Translation of the Bible ( https://thinktheology.co.uk/blog/article/whats_wrong_with_the_passion_translation ). The review raised some concerns in my mind so I thought I ought to take a look at it. The website says, “ The Passion Translation ( TPT ) is an excellent translation you can use as your primary text to seriously study God’s Word.” If that is the case it needs to faithfully render in good English the thoughts and ideas in the original text. It claims to do this, combining, “the best aspects of what is called formal and functional equivalence Bibles. It is a balanced translation that tries to hold both the Word’s literal meaning and original message in proper tension.” If it does this it is properly suited for serious study. Since I am more familiar with Hebrews than other parts of the NT I thought I would examine his treatment of Hebrews and test this. The website ( https://www.t

A response to Graeme Carle, "Promised land or Not."

Recently Graeme Carle published his opinions on Israel and the promised land here: https://emmausroad.org.nz/promised-land-not/ . In his post he challenged anyone from Laidlaw College or Carey Baptist College to respond. I am taking up the challenge, although I represent neither college. The opinions are my own. Graeme starts with Romans 4:13, “For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. ” We all know that Abraham was promised not the world but a small slice of territory at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, But here, Paul, in line with his recognition that God’s promise of descendants to Abraham is expanded to include not just ethnic Israel but everybody who has faith, also recognises that in Christ the promised land is expanded to include the whole world. Graeme claims, “Abraham and Jesus haven’t yet inherited the whole world to share with us have they?” Graeme is wrong.

Hebrews and the Temple: the backstory of my recent book

In 1996 my wife Dorothy and I went to Israel. At that time I had no idea of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and knew little about Zionism. It happened to be around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, and in Jerusalem, I was mystified when I kept encountering Christians asking me if I had “come up to the feast.” I was unaware at the time, but I now know that the “International Christian Embassy Jerusalem” organizes tours to Israel for Christians who want to do just that. They set themselves up in 1980 when about a dozen countries moved their embassies to Tel Aviv after Israel declared unilateral ownership of Jerusalem. It was an act of protest over that, because they felt that Jerusalem was too important to not have an international Christian presence. Ironically the Israeli Government gave them a house that was formerly owned by a wealthy Christian Palestinian family who had been ejected from it. About 5,000 Christians usually attend the 9 day festival. Then, on one October Su
