It is was barely one month ago today that we all rejoiced in the glorious proclamation of this Extraordinary Moisifical Jubilee Year, appointed to be observed on account of the 75th birthday of Our Infallible Hero, the great Moisés Silva. Jubilees are, of course, times of relief and renewal—and also times of extraordinary graces. Now […]
This is a great and wondrous day: rejoice, my gentle snowflakes! For Our Infallible Hero, the great Moisés Silva, was born on September 4, 1945, which makes this his 75th birthday. Needless to say, Bouncing into Graceland has largely fallen silent in recent years. An auspicious new beginning in late 2017 was quickly followed by a […]
In the most recent installment of Mondays with Moisés, we read our Infallible Hero state, in what at first blush might seem like a throwaway comment, that since “the message communicates more clearly” in translations of modern literature which sound “as though they had originally been written in English” (with due allowance for the original […]
This is a great and wondrous day. Rejoice, my gentle snowflakes! For our Infallible Hero, the great Moisés Silva, was born on September 4, 1945, and so we mark on this day his 72nd birthday—a number which is most appropriately Septuagintal. As is well known, the Chief Burden of this blog during the past decade […]
“It is approximately the year 2790. The most powerful nation on earth occupies a large territory in Central Africa, and its citizens speak Swahili.

While I have previously posted some excerpts of the quotation below (see Greek and Pride), the point our Infallible Hero makes here can never be emphasized enough, and therefore bears repeating. “It may be worthwhile to keep in mind that, more often than not, grammar has a negative yet important function; grammatical knowledge may not […]
This is a great and wondrous day. Rejoice, my gentle snowflakes! For our Infallible Hero, the great Moisés Silva, was born on September 4, 1945, which makes this his 65th birthday. Since one of the chief burdens of The Voice of Stefan is to spread the knowledge of the infallibility of Moisés Silva throughout the […]
It has come to my attention that the current issue of Themelios carries a review of Michael Bird and Preston Sprinkle (eds.), The Faith of Jesus Christ: Exegetical, Biblical and Theological Studies (Peabody: Hendrickson, 2010), by none other than Moisés Silva. [H/T: Rod Decker.] The journal is available online, and our Infallible Hero’s review may […]
I. Readers will undoubtedly recall my previous notices of Michael Asser’s excellent KJV-LXX Psalter, which is happily now available both online (here and here) and in a beautiful printed edition from CTOS (albeit with some notable modifications). Mr Asser, it will be remembered, set out to conform the Old Testament of the venerable King James […]
In a recent post, I pointed to academic responsibility as the higher path that believing scholars should relentlessly pursue as they go about their work. I realize, however, that this may be a little too abstract a notion, and that even those who may wish to follow the summons might be left wondering precisely what […]
