Purpose:

The Paroikos Bible Blog exists as a resource to those interested in Biblical studies and Koine Greek. It is hoped that this blog will simultaneously provide food-for-thought to the reader while pointing him or her in the direction of valuable resources, both in print and on the internet, that will further help his or her studies in the Word.

Extra! 42-year old professor gets engaged!

I am pleased to report that on Saturday, December 17th, approximately 2:30pm (US Central time), I proposed to Franziska Inka Mariella Ritschel, and she accepted!

She is a beautiful and compassionate Christian lady from Hamburg, Germany, with two master's degrees (her master's thesis at University of Hamburg was entitled "Toleranz und Intoleranz bei Augustinus von Hippo und Johannes Calvin"). Franziska has been teaching in our church's academy for quite some time now.

So there is hope even for a middle-aged professor/nerd like myself. God is good! The location was the beautiful Mitchell Domes in Milwaukee.
