I would like to take a post to highlight a blogger that I just discovered: Nancy at The Sacred Page, who describes herself as “Learner, reader, teacher, mother.” She snagged my attention when she blogged on the Messiah College and Monica Goodling press coverage fiasco (which I have done as well). The Sacred Page has [...]

Several folks in the biblioblogosphere (that is, the world of biblical studies blogs for those uninitiated) have been discussing the perennial question of what to call those Scriptures that Jews use, but Christians also use with a different label.

Posted today on Inside Higher Ed, is an interesting article entitled “Don’t Be Afraid of Committees.” It is written by Adam Kotsko (see his blog here), a doctoral student in philosophy at Chicago Theological Seminary.
