Biblioblogs

We’ll be revamping the site a bit and reorganizing the links so stay tuned for some updates and some new stuff and a new look.

I’ve added a link to Roland Boer’s blog on the blogroll. I did not know of it until today and am happy to have been informed, thanks to Bishop Wrong. Take a look and enjoy.

The co-directors of the Kabri Archaeological Project (KAP), Assaf Yasur-Landau and Eric H. Cline, would like to announce that a pdf of the preliminary results from the 2008 excavation season at Tel Kabri is now available at: http://digkabri.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/report-on-the-results-of-the-2008-excavation-season-at-tel-kabri.pdf. If the direct link does not work for some reason, go to http://digkabri.wordpress.com/ and click on the link there to download the pdf. Links to the results of previous seasons (2005, 2006, and 2007) are also listed at http://digkabri.wordpress.com/

There are brilliant blogs out there in languages other than English (believe it or not!). One such is Estudos Biblicos. It’s very much worth a look and a link, which is why I’ve added it to the list. Enjoy.

But for some reason I had failed, over the months, to add the fascinating blog of Antonio Lombatti to the list. I’ve rectified that oversight and hope you enjoy it as much as I always do.

This month’s featured blogger is Scot McKnight. Scot is the Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies at North Park University, and authors the popular Jesus Creed blog. You can read Jim West’s interview with Scot here.

If you’re not a regular reader of the SBL Forum you may have missed this:

Check it out over on John Hobbins’ blog. He’s done a very fine job with it and I for one feel certain you will enjoy it.

John Hobbins interviewed Phil Sumpter for this month’s featured interview. Phil, who’s working on a PhD in Hebrew Bible, writes at the Blog Narrative and Ontology. Thanks to both Phil and John for a great interview, which you can read here.

The blogger interview for July, I mean. Sorry for the delay. In order to spare the guilty I’ll not say whose fault it is. Anyway, the interview should be posted mid month (heaven willing and an attack of Tyler-ism/ procrastination notwithstanding).
