This year’s issue of the Caribbean Journal of Evangelical Theology is now available on-line for free download in PDF. It has articles on the small horn or Daniel chapter 7 & 8, a rhetorical reading of 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 and theologies of both servanthood and the environment, plus several book reviews.

While I was at Bible College (a long time ago now, or so it seems) I wrote at article about missionary principles in the Book of Acts. As I studied the various Bible Encyclopedia articles on the cities of Acts I was surprised to find how many of them where based on William M. Ramsay’s 1907 work on the subject, which at the that time, had not been superseded. For that reason I am very pleased to be able to make it available free of charge.

There are helpful articles on various aspects of Paul and his personality, on the book of Acts, Ephesus, Early Christian Persecutions and even one on Basil of Caesarea. There us also an excellent map, which I am making available in both 300 dpi and 600 dpi resolutions.
