To be skeptical of the resultant text of the New Testament books is to allow all of classical antiquity to slip into obscurity, for no documents of the ancient period are as well attested bibliographically as the New Testament. (John Warwick Montgomery, History and Christianity)

Happy Friday everyone!  To celebrate the end of the work week, we’ve got a new batch of links for you…

• There’s a new edition of Tabletalk available for the month of October.  This one grapples with the subject of death and disease.  If you haven’t familiarized yourself with Tabletalk, you might want to check out our index of available issues.
• There’s also a new free audio book available from christianaudio.com.  This month they’re offering a real gem: Think! by John Piper. I’d strongly encourage you to swing over there and download your copy.
• The Parchment & Pen blog made a case for why bloggers should have open comments, which prompted at least one person to ask why we don’t have open comments.  I believe that I’ve addressed that before, but if there’s interest, I can address it further in a future article.
• Apparently there’s now another free digital magazine I need to read: Credo. The first issue deals with the subject of “The Living Word,” and their next issue is apparently going to appear in early 2012.  I haven’t had a chance to read it cover-to-cover yet, but since it’s sporting articles by both Thomas Schreiner and Fred Zaspel, it’s jumped to the top of the pile.

Well, hopefully that’s enough to keep you busy and out of trouble this weekend.  See you Sunday!
