So much happening…
There is so much happening around the world these days. Of course the biggest news in the Biblical world is that the tomb of Herod was found (see Bock's blog for a day by day updates).
Another "big" (and quite embarrassing to some) news is that the President of ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) Frank Beckwith resigned as a result of his decision to be received into full communion in the Roman Catholic Church (read Ben's entry and response here).
Also, today is the birthday anniversary to Karl Barth. And speaking of birthday, CK Barrett turns 90 last Friday, and a special NT Seminar was held in Durham.
And since I am here in Brazil. Poeple might notice that Benedict XVI is visiting Sao Paulo and people are rushing in to the city to see him.

Well, may I remind you that Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, so it is autumn going into winter down here.
And in terms of weather, right now it is 63°F/17°C, partly cloudy with a low of 14°C. As I type this, I am sneezing my nose….
