July 2008


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

Discussion Lists and Bloggers

ANE-2
A successor to the Ancient Near East Discussion List originally hosted by the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.

Biblical Studies
Discussions and debate on matters of biblical interpretation.

Crosstalk-2
Discussion of the critical questions and issues surrounding the study of the Jesus of History and the rise of Christianity.
Biblical Blogs:

* Biblioblogs: An Aggregate of Blogs Geared toward Biblical Studies
* Biblical Studies Carnival is a monthly collection of blogs, hosted by a different “biblioblogger” each month.

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).
