| Description: |
Katagraphais will be a place where I share ideas, thoughts, and reflections on issues dealing with Christianity, Biblical studies, culture, etc. It is my hope that everything I do is grounded in the Christian worldview, and in order to be so properly grounded, all things must be anchored in the ancient Scriptures which God has revealed to us through the inspired writings. As such, this blog will be a record of the things I am learning (and sometimes relearning!) through Scripture, discussions on the culture we find ourselves living in, and a place to provide links, information, and resources on the reformed faith and cultural commentary. |

Fortunately, it’s a good friend of mine—Alicia. Alicia emailed me recently to tell me the good news that she is now writing a column on Christianity based out of St. Louis, which is the second best “louis-” city after Louisville. Her focus, thus far, has been apologetics though she has a pretty open range of issue she can and will be discussing. I definitely suggest checking it out: Alicia’s colu
Meme: Books/Scholars
The second of two memes that Mike (ΕΝ ΕΦΕΣΩ) recently tagged me in is listing 5 books or scholars that had the most immediate and lasting influence on how I read the Bible. This list probably won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with what I’ve written. It is in no particular order.

Memes: Funny Things Ancient Literature
Mike at ΕΝ ΕΦΕΣΩ is apparently tired of my long periods of silence, and has tagged me in to memes. The first of the two is the “Funny things in ancient literature” meme, where we are to… well… mention something funny from ancient literature. Three things immediately sprang to mind for this meme.
First, we have the Apostle Paul:
