@bbeckman0629 @mohrsiebeck Thanks!

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

It looks like my DPhil thesis will be coming out this fall with @mohrsiebeck!

I misread Stan as Satan, and it kind of made sense.

I have been less active on Twitter lately, and perhaps that is for the better, as this website is not good for the soul. However, last week I officially closed the DPhil chapter of my life, and I am feeling very grateful for this!

@nelson_hsieh7 All very interesting, thanks for sharing! It's disappointing that Luke 22:43–44 is going to be removed from the main text. To me, at least, the case for the inauthenticity of this passage doesn't seem strong enough to merit excision.

@John_Barach Running, cooking, doing household chores.

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

@ryancollman Good to know!

I have used Bear for note-taking throughout my DPhil. I'm thinking about migrating to something that supports both mac and android. Any recommendations? So far, Obsidian seems like the best option.

@Samuel_Skr Ale gdyby student był w stanie przedstawić Chrystologię Billy'ego Grahama, to byłbym poniekąd pod wrażeniem.

Recent mail — looking forward to reading these!

I’m grateful that the ARP has clearly and unanimously condemned any teaching of racial superiority. In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek!

[Benjamin Glaser @WVPitt]

I made, and the 221st General Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, seconded, and passed unanimously the following statement as the position of the ARP Church. #ARPSynod2025

Time flies! This Saturday, I'm teaching my final class of the academic year. It’s been a lot of fun. Next time, I’d like to spend more time on open discussion of Pauline texts with students, and less on technical academic debates.

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

Preparing my Pauline Letters class for the Warsaw Baptist Theological Seminary is a lot of fun. The first class, this coming Saturday, will focus on our man and the chronology of his life. I'm looking forward to it!

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

@firstthesisstan Or Christian movies, for that matter.

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

@PastorAndyWebb Praise the Lord!

@nelson_hsieh7 In this way, I once realised that the previous person to check out Blomberg's book was Blomberg himself. And on another occasion, I saw that in the three years between my two visits, no one else had taken a look at a certain book on curses in Galatians.

Some good stuff on the lukewarm metaphor in Revelation.

@JohnStSomething @ReformTheoSem @GPTSeminary @WestminsterTS @wscal @CovSeminary @PuritanSeminary @BirmingTheoSem @RPTSeminary @ErskineSeminary @knoxseminary @MidAmericaSem Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary (an alumnus myself), and those of us based in Europe, of course, have a few other options—like @ETS_Edinburgh.

@JudsonGreene Congratulations

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

@William_A_Ross Why not both?

[Filip Sylwestrowicz @FilipSylwestrow]

Gordon Wenham's commentary on Genesis was one of the first serious biblical commentaries I owned and used. It left a deep impression on me.

[L. Michael Morales @L_MMorales]

Peacefully in his sleep this morning, Gordon J. Wenham entered the glories of heaven. To be with Christ is better by far.

I thank the LORD for his godly example and fruitful scholarship, and for the privilege of having his mentorship in my thesis. Please pray for his family.
