Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous! Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do.” Josh 1:9

Spring is Coming
As you can see in these pictures we are stuck between the beginning of spring and the remnants of winter. When the sun came out and began to melt the snow, the girls' cabin-fever went into full swing.
My family and I recently moved to Princeton, NJ from Durham, England where I am currently reading for my PhD (University of Durham). My research consists of an analysis the language of wealth and poverty in the Dead Sea Scrolls, both sectarian and non-sectarian documents, as well as other Jewish apocalyptic literature from the Second Temple period. I am comparing the language and attitudes toward wealth in these documents to the Book of Revelation in order to provide a tradition-historical reading of the Apocalypse. In doing so, I consider the degree to which these Second Temple traditions help us to understand John's perspective on wealth for the faithful Christian community.
I recently completed my Th.M. at Dallas Theological Seminary. My thesis compared the Greek grammar and syntax of the parallel material in 2 Peter and Jude to determine the direction of literary dependence.
