Marginalia is a section of this blog dedicated to (mostly) short reflections, meditations, questions, and difficulties I have while going through my Bible reading plan. I generally post between 1 to 3 of these per day, which can be difficult to keep up with. To aid in helping people engage with these posts, every weekend I post a round-up of all of Marginalia posts that appeared during that week. This list is in biblical canonical order.
Death & Life; Names & Vows | Genesis 3.20-21
Adam names Eve only after the Fall. Why?
Noah, Prophecy, & the Comfort of the Earth | Genesis 5.28-29
Noah’s name is interestingly prophetic…
Abraham’s son Ishmael was part of Covenant! | Genesis 17.23-27
This blew my mind. I’m still trying to work through the implications.
Abraham almost loses his son & he worships?! | Genesis 22.13-14
This is why Abraham was the Father of our faith. I couldn’t do it.
Insecurity Leads to Fasting? | Ezra 8:21-23
On sin and spiritual discipline.
Male Headship & Societal Injustice | Esther 1:17-22
A longer one (also part of our Women in the Church series). Some lessons for our Complementarian friends from the book of Esther.
Universal Intimacy: The Beautiful Transition | Matthew 11:25-39
This is what Christian Universalism looks like.
What Draws Out Jesus’ Compassion? | Matthew 15.32
It might not be what you think.
Women at the Cross | Matthew 27:55-54
The Gospels really make an effort to highlight the women. Why?
Who Sent Whom? | Acts 13.2-4
Beautiful words about God’s work through us.
The Good News changes, the Good News gifts | Acts 20.32
The proclamation has got a lot to it.
