My Initials are Magical!

I was just looking up to see whether the initials of our baby name ideas (will be revealed at a later date) meant anything socially dangerous for our child. I noticed that Wikipedia has pages for acronyms. I decided I look up my own initials: PGM. Of course, I am most drawn to the meaning from historical studies: “Greek Magical Papyri, a collection of ancient texts also known as the Papyri Graecae Magicae” (the acronym comes from the Latin). Incidentally, the Wikipedia article on this has been flagged for some attention from an expert in the field. If you’re an expert, maybe you can correct it. In the meantime, revel in the magic of my initials.

Chris Heard is stirring up trouble…

I can’t tell if it’s an exposé of Jim West or Andrew Keen, but it’s a very interesting post nonetheless.

Update (Same Day): The trouble continues. You can find Jim West’s announcement of Chris Heard’s Biblical Studies list removal here (if you’re on the list).
