Round-ups

A general apology and a delectation of blogs for your consideration

March 5, 2010

I’m sorry I haven’t been finding much time lately, not so much to blog, as to interact in one way or another with so many excellent blog posts around the place. I even failed to moderate a comment for over 12 hours today, so a particular apology to her archdruity for that. In the meantime, [...]

Six of the best from this week’s blogs

February 27, 2010

I’ve had comparatively little time for reading or writing blog posts this week, but all of the posts I mention here were not only well worth reading or taking note of – I wish I’d had time to interact more fully with them. The first four are on the Bible, the last two more broadly [...]

A very eclectic six of the best

February 13, 2010

Some good blog posts I noticed this week that you might enjoy reading. Andrew Brown is an atheist who seems to find the National Secular Society even more annoying than most Christians do. You might recognise your own reactions in Hopi Sen’s pet hates in reporting. James McGrath has been going at the comparison between [...]

Is there going to be a 49th Biblical Studies Carnival?

December 30, 2009

In a quick round up of what’s been interesting over the holidays, Mike Kok says of the hist-crit po-mo debate (see the previous post also). Anyways, this is a very learned debate and deserves to be front and center in the biblical studies carnival. This prompts me to ask: is there going to be a [...]

Biblical Studies Carnival XLVIII

December 1, 2009

Welcome to the 48th Biblical Studies Carnival. It is, this time, very much a plain vanilla listing of posts – sprinkled with the occasional wry observation. I hope, in the next few days, to offer a bit of a reflection on whither the Carnival might go in future years. Two years to the month after [...]

BSC 48 is cooking

November 28, 2009

I’m working at the next Biblical Studies Carnival, so other blogging may be light to non-existent this weekend. The job is, I fear, a far larger one than it was.

Your Carnival needs you

November 14, 2009

A quick trawl of existing submissions for the next Biblical Studies Carnival at this halfway point in the month reveals exactly one genuine submission. Well done, Tommy Wasserman! The rest include a blocked presumed phishing mail, and several pious postings that might be appropriate for the Christian Carnival, but are nothing to do with academic [...]

Biblical Studies Carnival 47 is up

November 3, 2009

Congratulations to Kevin on another job well done. I am relieved to see another organised by topic. I intend to make it three in a row next month. I’m also relieved to see someone else make the same typos as me – turning Chris into Christ. This time it’s Chris Heard who gets the messianic [...]

Biblical Studies Carnival

November 2, 2009

While you’re waiting for the 47th Biblical Studies Carnival, let me say a word about the 48th, since November has now started, and I’m due to post on 1st December for all the things that will have happened between now and then. First, in my opinion one of the ways in which the BSC scores [...]

From Anglican arguments to Aaron’s DNA: a weekend round-up

September 26, 2009

A relatively brief round-up. The bibliobloggy stuff is nearer the end. And the most intriguing link is last of all (how biblical!). First up, finding any fresh perspective on Anglican troubles is unusual. So I was struck by this argument from Peter Carrell commenting (from more-or-less the inside) on the complexities of what evangelicalism means [...]
