Biblioblog Top 50 Goes for Some Shock Value

Did Mark Goodacre touch a nerve? Did “Jim’s Minions” get bored? Depressed at the state of biblioblogging? Whatever the case, they are now only displaying a cheeky post about the Top Fifty Ancient Jewish and Christian Books “for your perusal and betterment.” I’m a little disappointed that the Apocalypse of Eve didn’t make it on there. They tell us: “We hope you will enjoy reading these works as much as we have enjoyed selecting them.” And even give a word of the day: “WOTD: trivialize v. to make trivial: reduce to triviality.” Well said.

Oh, and they are no longer “Jim’s Minions,” but are rather “The Council for the Top Fifty Ancient Jewish and Christian Books.”

Thanks for shaking things up a little, Tom.
