The Stone Chapel Podcasts Hosted by David Capes Dr. Daniel Master <- Back to Episodes Daniel Master, Tel Shimron Daniel Master (PhD, Harvard University), Professor of Archaeology at Wheaton College, talks with David Capes about how he became an archaeologist.  He has spent much of his career digging up, processing, and writing archaeological reports on Ashkelon.  In recent days he and his dig partners from various institutions have turned their trowels to Tel Shimron, a large archaeological site just north of the Jezreel Valley about 8 miles west of Nazareth.  Despite Covid-19, the excavation had a full season in 2021.  If you want more information about Tel Shimron, check out the website: www.telshimronexcavations.com.  Dr. Master is always looking for volunteers.  If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at archaeology, why not spent three or six weeks in Israel next summer? It’s hard work, but it’s worth it!   The post TSC_068 Daniel Master, Tel Shimron first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.

The Stone Chapel Podcasts Hosted by David Capes Dr. Scott Callaham <- Back to Episodes Scott Callaham, Learning Aramaic Scott Callaham, Lecturer in Old Testament at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Singapore, is a friend of the Lanier Theological Library.  He has spent a good bit of time in the library and with our staff as he has been working on his primer for biblical Aramaic entitled Biblical Aramaic for Biblical Interpreters (Glossahouse, 2021).  While the Old Testament  is mostly in Hebrew, there are sections of Genesis, Jeremiah, Ezra and Daniel written in Aramaic, a sister language to Hebrew. Dr. Callaham has come up with an ingenious way to build on one’s knowledge of Hebrew to learn another language, and he stops by to talk with David Capes about it on “The Stone Chapel.”  He also has the distinction of being the first person to write a teaching grammar for Aramaic in Chinese, the language of Singapore.  Soon he begins another project on www.dailydoseofaramaic.com.  He talks about both projects during this 20 minute podcast.  We are very proud of Scott and look forward to having him and his family back to the Lanier Theological Library.   The post TSC_057 Scott Callaham, Learning Aramaic first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.

The Stone Chapel Podcasts Hosted by David Capes Dr. Roche Coleman <- Back to Episodes Roche Coleman, Shame and Guilt in Psalm 32 Roche Coleman is Senior Pastor of the Impact Church in the Woodlands.  He is a frequent patron at the library; in fact, he just finished his PhD at the University of Pretoria spending a good bit of time studying and writing at the Lanier Theological Library.  He joins David Capes on “The Stone Chapel” to talk about his ministry and to talk about his dissertation which we think soon will become a book.  Shame and guilt are “strange emotions” according to Dr. Coleman precisely because they go against the grain of the imago dei(image of God) in us.  We are made for honor and dignity, yet we find shame and guilt to be a debilitating duo when it comes to our lives.  Psalm 32, a Davidic psalm, is written against the backdrop of a time when the king faced soul-crushing guilt over his sin.  But even as it begins in pain; it ends in joy.  For those who struggle with the weight of sin, shame, and guilt, this podcast is for you.   The post TSC_067 Roche Coleman, Shame & Guilt Psalm 32 first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.

She directs worship programming at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, GA, a worshipping community of roughly 7000 people. She is the author of many books and a composer of about 75 hymns for children.  She stopped by recently to talk with David Capes on “The Stone Chapel” about her life, her battles with cancer, and how hymns fed her soul and encouraged her through the toughest battles of life.  She is a strong advocate of singing and making music in the homes because it imprints on the lives of our children.
