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 [...]

The End of the Biblioblog Top 50?

So, as commenters are rightly calling bizarre, “Jim’s Minions” at the Biblioblog Top 50 posts this:

This is the final post for The Biblioblog Top 50. Several days ago, in an attempt to dissociate our blog from humorless bibliobloggers such as Christopher Heard and Alan Lenzi, we ‘officialized’ Jim West as CEO of the Biblioblog Top [...]

You're a Good Blog, Charlie Brown.

“Blog posts are written, not defecated.” That’s the best line in this list of instructions for “good blogs.” I think many bibliobloggers struggle with #1, while we probably excel at number two. I would add to the list: being willing to admit that your own blog may not meet all the criteria for a good [...]

Women Bibliobloggers Again?!

I know, I know, you’re tired of the topic and we “bibliobloggers” have moved on to fight other fights. But in keeping with the spirit of my previous “listening to women” post, I would like to point out some additional reflection happening outside the fold of biblioblogdom. A couple weeks ago, around the same time [...]

Affiliate This!

The fuss over our recently obtained SBL affiliate status seems a little bloated to me. I understand the concerns that people have raised, but I don’t understand why anyone would so fervently cry out regarding these concerns . . . at least most of them. From what I have read of the negative reactions thus [...]

A Couple New (To Me) Blogs

I have been discovering some interesting blogs of late. With their mention on the Biblioblog Top 50 (Jim’s minions), you have probably already seen my first mention–if you didn’t already know of the blog before that.
Two Fuller Seminary master’s students are blogging over at Walking Towards Jerusalem. The blog was originally geared towards Luke-Acts as [...]

Is Mike Patronizing Women in a Tokenistic Sort of Way?

Some believe that Mike’s meme is patronizing or amounts to tokenism. How dare he highlight women who are doing good scholarship! The audacity! Seriously, I do understand the concern, but I think it is only tokenism if it is a token and nothing else. That is, if one has  no interest in taking on the [...]

A Woman Who Blogs About Exegesis and Hermeneutics?!

You don’t say. Rachel Marszalek stopped by my blog today, looking at an older post I did on Junia, to which she linked on her own blog. Rachel describes herself as an Anglican Ordinand and uses the following labels for herself: “Christian, Anglican, Evangelical, conservative (small C), Charismatic (big C), Open, Post-modern.” Have a look, [...]

Listening to Women's Voices

There seem to be two directions of thought for those who have been discussing this issue: (1) Why don’t more women want to join the biblioblogging community? and (2) There are probably more women out there that could be considered bibliobloggers (particularly if we allow for an expanded definition of biblioblogging) and we should find [...]

If Jim West is a "Biblioblogger" . . . Who Isn't?

Tim gives voice to a version of this question that I’ve seen a few others say and probably several others have thought without actually saying it. This point gets to one of the big pieces in the dearth-of-female-bibliobloggers puzzle. This is about identity formation and setting boundary markers (can you help us out, Brian?). When [...]
