Samantha and her blog, Scholarly Bound, was mentioned on the Biblioblog Top 50 recently, but I missed that post at the time. I just noticed her blog because she reacted to my announcement of the Dictionary of the Bible and Western Culture. This is how she describes herself:

I, Samantha, am theorist on Religion in addition to being a scholar of Early Christianity. Currently, I am undertaking Doctoral Studies at McGill University, Canada. I have lectured on: Modes of historical thought; the Apostle Paul; 1st C. Letter writing; Greek Tragedy; and Philosophical discourses of tragedy, suffering, and martyrdom.

She has been working on the topic of memory (topic of one of her comprehensive exams at McGill) and it dawned upon her that this might qualify for biblioblog material. Indeed it does! Here is the definition she gives to her biblioblog:

This Biblioblog focuses on academic issues in the study of religion, more specifically the New Testament and Early Christianity, as well as Philosophy of religion(s). These posts will be related to my research as a doctoral student and the working through of some academic type ideas, which may also include some posts on university issues/politics/student politics.

Samantha has a number of very interesting posts already and I have added her to my blog roll. Welcome, Samantha!
