Biblical Studies Carnival 42 Up–Prepare Ye for 43!

Now that Jim Getz has posted Biblical Studies Carnival 42, I would like to remind the biblioblogging world that the 43rd carnival shall be hosted right here at kata ta biblia. To whet your appetites, I must tell you that it will be quite extraordinary. I will be announcing my own tremendous textual discovery, which happens to be intimately connected to my carnivaling project for the month of June. Prepare to be astounded!! You shall revel in the earth-shaking magnitude of this upcoming carnival experience! You will all be left speechless at its sheer awesomeness–even Jim West! It will be picked up by National Geographic and I’ll make millions! Fame and fortune. That’s why I got into this business.

As an interesting aside, did you know that Jim Getz and I share an institution as an  entry on our CVs? We’re also both Anabaptists. Ooooh. That’s spooky.

    The similarities are all part of a great Anabaptist conspiracy.

    Some of my understanding of Scripture might be thought of as Anabaptistic. I am wondering what moves you to claim/admit “Anabaptist”. Do you have suggested reading (outside of prophetic scriptures) for those wrestling with an Anabaptist opposed to a more Catholic, or Reformed catholic, approach.

    Hi Jeff,

    Well, it’s a bit off topic from the post, but you may be interested in an older post of mine: The Baptism Hermeneutic. A couple comments: (1) Anabaptists shouldn’t be reading just those passages that please them, but all of Scripture; (2) Anabaptists (just like anyone else) should not simply read all of Scripture they way they would like, but should be willing to read against their own biases; (3) that said, if you’re looking for our traditional go-to Scriptures, look at the Sermon on the Mount and the letter of James, for instance.

    Also, take a look at this Anabaptist encyclopedia reference.
