My day-to-day work is with a combination of C, ksh and PL/SQL. I enjoy asking and answering questions that come up at work. I also dabble in Perl, lua and LaTeX. My boss has asked me to learn Python as well.
I'm married, with three children: a son and a set of mixed-gender twins.
My favorite living philosopher is Alvin Plantinga and my favorite dead philosopher is Blaise Pascal. I think Paul of Tarsus is too little credited as a force in Western philosophy. If you think I'm a Christian, you're right.
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. -- 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (ESV)

What has changed in Biblical scholarship since the Jerusalem Bible (1966) was published? I've slightly rephrased the question to ask for advice on identifying potential problems with the translation, rather than asking for a list. |

What sort of creature swallowed Jonah? I've reformatted the quotation from Wikipedia to be more clear and to properly attribute it. I also cleaned up the phrasing to conform more closely to the way questions are normally asked. |
