I must make one short apology here. Chris Heard calls me out on my use of “women bibliobloggers,” which he notes should be “female bibliobloggers” as “women” is not an adjective. Well, Dictionary.com (oh, holy of holy resources) does have it listed as one, but it is not exactly a ringing endorsement for its usage: “13. of women; womanly. 14. female: a woman plumber.” Normally on matters such as the evolution of language, I might be a little more liberal in accepting the vernacular usage (in this case, “woman plumber” or “woman biblioblogger”), but I can see the inherent gender bias in this convention. For instance, one wouldn’t say “man dancer” (before anyone accuses me of anything there, my mother-in-law was a ballet teacher for many years and that is why it came to mind).

At any rate, my apologies, particularly since the post has gotten so much attention.

On the more controversial issue of Jim’s exegetical work (Jim’s response to Michael Westmoreland-White’s comment has brought literally hundreds of people to that post), I am still going to let that go to others. It’s finals week, anyway.
