This news is a little late in coming, but a couple weeks ago I was welcomed into the family of The Daily Scribe, which has the description: “A growing compendium of exceptional Christian expression.” One of the things that the Scribe is looking for is open-mindedness and dialogue. I am honored and happy to be included in such a community as it is inventing itself. Here’s a little bit more from the “About” page:

Only the highest quality Christian writing and expression is aggregated on the pages of The Daily Scribe. All of the writers featured are dedicated professionals in their respective fields and faiths. Theirs is a passion which is obvious, mature and tuned – well tuned. Each aggregated member represents quality and honesty. Each of these individuals bring much of value to the craft.

For me, my membership in The Daily Scribe complements my understanding of my commitment to biblioblogging. I am deeply interested in intellectually engaging issues of scholarship in biblical studies and early Christianity, and I view that as the “biblioblogging” side to my blog. I also want to communicate these issues in a way that is accessible to those outside of scholarship who are still interested in the issues, and I guess I think of my newly formed commitment to The Daily Scribe as one representation of that passion to communicate to a wider audience. This melding of intellectual engagement with an attempt to communicate complicated issues of scholarship to a wider audience, by the way, is how I view my journey as a scholar and future educator. Engage in scholarship. Communicate and dialogue with students and other interested folks.

Since joining TDS, I have discovered a number of well-written and very interesting blogs on matters of faith. I highly recommend checking it out!
