Internet round-up: Psalmody, the Qur'an and more!

   It's time for another edition of Internet Round-up, the column with fun stuff on the internet in the realm of theology!  Without further fuss:

1) A blogger posted a brief interview/Q and A with Doug Wilson recently, which I think gives some insight into where his head and heart are at, ministry-wise. 

2) Daily Dose of Greek is a good place to start if you are looking to get into the biblical source languages but aren't officially enrolled anywhere.  Hopefully posting this link here will motivate me to actually sit down and invest time in this arena.

3) Calvin's complete commentaries are available in English online.  If you want to get deeply into Calvin's thoughts on just about any passage of Scripture, (no Revelation, sorry) look no further.

4) Phil Johnson has a series of articles (they've been standing for some time) on the potential sinfulness of gambling.  Good stuff to bear in mind with the popularity of going to casino as a birthday celebration etc.

5) Peter Leithart caused quite a stir lately with articles on "why Protestants can't write".  The rejoinder by TCI, with links to the originals, can be found here.

6) If you can surmount the thick Scottish accent, a presentation on the importance of Klinean Republication relevant to the historical theology of the Westminster Standards is available here.

7) For those who missed the recent Facebook link, the Arabic corpus of the Qur'an, with grammar and morphology, is free online here.

8) In a landmark moment of the Obama presidency (more's the pity) Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has passed away today.  The Gospel Coalition has published an article with nine basics about the late justice.

9) Adam 4d is a web comic about the travails and experiences of Christians in the world.  It demonstrates an element of "kidding on the square" that we can all appreciate.

10) A group known as "My Soul Among Lions" has released a Kickstarter-funded album of "contemporary psalmody".  While this album encompasses Psalms 1-10, they are hoping to eventually get to the entire Psalter.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and there's at least one thing of interest here for everybody.  Have a restful and Christ-centered Sabbath.
