An Archive of "From the Margins" Commentaries

When called to reread prophecy, I set about writing a book-length manuscript, which was followed by a second and a third book in 2002 … this website was launched early in 2003, and with the launch of this website, a venue existed for shorter writings—and there have been many shorter pieces written since.

The archived “From the Margins” [the name borrowed from an essay collection published in 2001] commentaries disclose my growth in grace and knowledge; thus, all of them have been retained.
