Computer Problems
Claude Mariottini
Emeritus Professor

It is remarkable how dependent we have become on technology in the twenty-first century. For the past few days, computer problems have prevented me from posting to my blog, reminding me of how integral these tools have become to my work.
I have been maintaining a schedule of three posts per week, something retirement has made possible by giving me time to read, research, and write. Recently, I have also been organizing and downsizing my files. This project has revealed the extent of what I have accumulated during fifty years of preaching and thirty-three years of teaching.
Over the years, I have read hundreds of books and thousands of journal articles. I have accumulated an extensive library of PDF resources that continue to inform my writing. The sheer volume of material—Bible studies, sermons, lectures, class notes, and various other resources—is more than I could likely publish in my remaining years. Yet I am determined to share as much as possible with a wider audience.
In the coming weeks and months, I will be developing these materials into blog posts. Having taught classes on every book of the Old Testament during my teaching career, I am particularly eager to transform those class notes into accessible content. While time-consuming, this process will be rewarding as I revisit decades of study and preparation.
I want to express my deep gratitude to my many students. Your encouragement, participation in class discussions, and probing questions challenged me to deepen my knowledge and sharpen my teaching. I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude.
Now that my computer is repaired, I will resume posting on Monday.
