Mark Goodacre’s wonderful little podcast regarding Junia (Paul Post of the Week!) offers a nice snippet available to any interested about the two dominant issues in translating Romans 16:7: (1) Junia v. Junias [which seems to have been resolved by now: Junia] and (2) “prominent among the apostles” v. “well esteemed by the apostles” [which [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Picking up on the gender, gender, gender theme of the week, Mike has initiated a helpful new meme. As I was talking with a friend about the issue of female bibliobloggers, we wondered how the percentage of female bibliobloggers differed from the percentage of female biblical scholars. We tried to name as many female biblical [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If you are not familiar with the Emerging Women community, you might be pleasantly surprised at large collection of quality blogs by intelligent women on matters spiritual, biblical, theological, political, cultural, ethical [...]

Gender is the theme of the week. As many have noted, there is a lot of hubbub going around about the announcement made by Zondervan that they will be discontinuing publication of the TNIV translation in favor of NIV 2011. I think it’d be great if they built off the name of the TNIV, for [...]

In order to share with you an observation I had in class yesterday, I have to share a little background about a certain woman who Paul praises in his letter to the Roman church. In Romans 16:7, amidst his chapter of greetings to specific people in the Roman church, Paul mentions “Junia” who he says [...]
