  1. Gary Cockerill's interview is really good!

    + this is the best thing I've read in awhile:

    "Thus, we can say that the person who penned Hebrews was concerned pastor, accomplished orator, profound theologian, and insightful Biblical scholar. Throughout this commentary, however, I have persistently called him “the Pastor,” because his oratorical skill, theology, and biblical interpretation are all in service to his deep pastoral concern for the eternal well being of his hearers. I have come to feel his pastoral heart and admire his rhetorical skill. I have been enriched by his theological understanding and informed by his biblical interpretation. Sometimes I almost feel that I know him as a friend — and yet he is also my master who has taught me much."
