Cynthia Westfall and I

While at SBL in San Diego, I had the privilege of meeting one of my favorite scholars on Hebrews, Cynthia Westfall. She currently teaches with Stanley Porter at McMaster Divinity School, in Hamilton, Ontario. I picked up her book at SBL, and she was kind enough to sign it for me. I hope someday, if the Lord wills, to study Hebrews with her in pursuit of a Ph.D.

New Additions to my Library (Books on Hebrews)

I recently spent time at SBL and ETS. While there I wondered about the book displays in search of books on Hebrews, and I came away with quite a few that I am excited to read.
