Biblioblogs

I just added a new link: Historical Jesus and Paul. The blogger is Matthew Thomas Hopper, a graduate student in religion at the University of Georgia. His blog already has a few provocative posts, and I promise that my adding it here is not a sorry attempt to make friends in Georgia—where I’ll be moving in a few weeks.

We’ve added two more blogs in the last 36 or so hours. First, we want to make mention of Darrell Bock’s new (to us at least) blog. Bock is well enough known as to require no introduction. And if you aren’t sure of who he is, visit his blog! And we’ve also added theNew Testament Studies blog which began just a little over a week and a half ago. We hope you enjoy these additions and we hope, quite sincerely, that if you know of a biblical studies blog which publishes regularly and well, you will tell us of it.

At Biblioblogs.com we try to limit our list to blogs which are concerned with biblical studies. This, of course, doesn’t mean that every blog listed here is soley related to biblical studies; there are a great number of blogs that also talk about theology, politics, personal matters or whatever else you can think of. We generally don’t list blogs primarily focused on theology (except Ben Myers), but it’s good to see that another site is filling this void. Patrik Hagman, who was “inspired” by this site, is beginning the Theology Blogs website which will have a list of “sites that deal with systematic theology, that is, dogmatics, ethics, hermeneutics, patristics, philosophy of religion and so on.” If this describes your blog, or you know of another blog that fits into this description, be sure to send Patrik an email.

The Biblioblogs.com featured blogger for July is Dave Black and you can read his interview here. Most of you are familiar with Dave Black, but for those who aren’t, let me give a few words by way of background. He is a professor of New Testament at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and has written and edited several books–many of which deal with the Greek New Testament. He has a personal website called DaveBlackOnline where he posts columns and essays in addition to his blog.

James Tabor has entered the biblioblogging family with his own blog. Give it a look. His primary interests are archaeology and the historical Jesus.
