The Future of the Biblical Studies Carnival

Doug, author of the most recent carnival, asks the question about whether we might consider a different approach to carnivals. Good question. On the one hand, the approach we have is so established that it may be difficult to get another one off the ground. On the other hand, there may be other approaches that [...]

Ranking in at #18 . . . L'Chaim!

The lucky Jewish number eighteen, which is the gematria number for chai or “life.” Jews often give in multiples of $18 as gifts for major events or for Jewish charities. I take my #18 November ranking for the Biblioblog Top 50 to mean that this blog is clearly chosen by God.
In the United States, my [...]

Nice Work, Kevin!

Even if he saddened James of the West (who appears to admit his feelings are childish: “When I was a kid . . .” ) by posting it a day late, I think Kevin has done a wonderful job of highlighting the work of the past month in Carnival 47. Of course, he [...]

I am #22 and You Can Too!

The rankings are up for the September round of the Biblioblog Top 50 and this blog hit #22 on the list! This number is fitting, as there are 22 chapters in the book of Revelation and 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. My place in the list is clearly ordained by God. Hitting a real [...]

Top 50 and Jim's Carnival

Jim West has some good fun with the carnival. My own carnival from last month was included in his category “stuff that’s twisted.”
Another twisted piece in July was Pat’s Carnival.  What the devil is Eve doing writing an Apocalypse when she has several sons and numerous unnamed daughters to tend?  Get back to the kitchen [...]

BS Carnival and BS Blogger of the Month Up

Duane Smith has done a fabulous job with the 35th monthly biblical studies carnival. I am pleased to see that my blog action day reflection on ancient poverty made it into the carnival. Thanks, Duane!
Also of interest is the biblioblogger of the month interview with the diversely trained Roland Boer of Stalin’s Mustache. Roland calls [...]

Biblical Studies Carnival XIV

The “carnival” of biblical studies blogs for January (that is, a highlight of interesting posts that popped up during the last month) has arrived in style. Chris Weimer of Thoughts on Antiquity has given a great play by play on the January biblioblogging scene. And my thoughts on the purpose of blogging even got mention [...]
