If you keep current with all manner of national and international news, from politics to sports to literature to science and more, and if you like to think about how all these aspects of life in our world relate to the Bible and Christian faith and practice, you’re missing out if you’re not following Steve Tuell’s blog, “The Bible Guy.” Every couple of weeks, the Rev. Dr. Tuell engages a wide range of interesting topics as PTS’s James A. Kelso Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament.

For example, one of his latest posts discusses the recent “whooping” controversy involving Minnesota Vikings’ running back Adrian Peterson in the light of biblical perspectives on disciplining children, as well as violence generally. In Part 2 of his series “Does the Bible Contradict Itself?” he talks about the surprising results of the stellar explosion SN2014J, observed by astronomers earlier this year, and advocates an approach of eager discovery to reconciling the Bible’s similarly puzzling parts. He even tackles the question, “Does learning weaken faith?”—reflecting a concern not only of preachers past but also of many Christian parents present when sending their children off to college.

Throughout Steve’s posts appear topically relevant photos ranging from works of classical art to Peanuts cartoons, scientific charts to historical portraits, schematic sketches to modern architecture. He weaves in observations on current literature, new films, global conflicts, and even his recent ankle-replacement surgery in an effort to inspire God-honoring thinking and living in modern society.

“I’m not interested in giving prescriptions, proscriptions, or pronouncements,” says Steve about his blog. “What I want and try to do in it is to wrestle honestly and faithfully with both the letter and the spirit of the Bible and its interpretation, so that readers log out with a deeper understanding of what it means to be and to live as Christians than when they logged in.”
