The Tyndale monographs reflect conservative Evangelical scholarship, a viewpoint one will also find in SBL papers and journal articles, but in the latter one can also find other perspectives and points of view as well, perhaps more strongly represented. This means you don\u2019t even have to risk \u201cexposing yourself\u201d to those nasty \u201cothers\u201d \u2013 whether wishy-washy liberal heretics or closed-minded conservatives or whoever else you might secretly fear you\u2019ll turn into if you read the wrong stuff. You can limit yourself to scholarship that reflects your own tradition, and still improve your understanding of a given subject, without scraping the bottom of the barrel and relying on views of charlatans and self-proclaimed experts with delusions of self-importance.<\/p>\n<p>And so let me make this TV-ad style offer. Try genuine scholarship free from the comfort of your own home for 30 days. If you are not completely satisfied, your ignorance will be returned to you at no extra charge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-3312754321081343050?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I continue to be amazed at how much excellent scholarship is available for free online.
