You may be looking for these as you prepare for your Christmas cookie baking, and Dr. Coakley will have us discovering them in our Bible study in this latest Bible Study tool segment. What are “these”? They are cookie cutters! In Scripture there are cookie cutter scenes that often mark a critical junction in the life of a Bible character and recognizing these can be yet another tool to sharpen our insights and understanding of God’s Word.
Dr. Jim Coakley has taught for sixteen years as professor of Bible at Moody Theological Seminary specializing in Old Testament and Biblical Languages. Prior to Moody he was involved in pastoral ministry for thirteen years. He has traveled to Israel multiple times as a tour leader and has also toured throughout Turkey. Jim is married to Gayle and they have two grown children and two grandchildren. He was a contributor to the Moody Bible Commentary and is working on a second doctoral degree through the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. He also has a special interest in how the use of technology intersects with Biblical studies and has written articles and spoken at conferences on that topic.
