Biblioblogs

I’ve added a link to the blogroll: Bob Webb. Bob is the executive editor of the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus and a grad of the University of Sheffield. Do give Bob a read- he has some interesting things to say (or he wouldn’t be included here in the canonical list). ;-)

Kevin Edgecomb just wrote a nice little post on why he favors the term biblicablog over biblioblog to describe blogs related to biblical studies (some have also suggested biblicoblog). The term has been problematic from the beginning, but biblioblog is the term that became most popular among these types of blogs. Yet, as Kevin points out, more people use the term for book blogs or library blogs, which may cause confusion. Is it time for a change? You can read Kevin’s post here.

Read Brandon’s interview with Chris here.

I’ve added a link to Tim Ricchuiti’s blog, which you may, or may not be familiar with. He disagrees with me nearly 95% of the time so of course he’s a lot of fun. He’s pretty sharp too.

It being well into the second week of the first month of the new year it’s time for some housecleaning. Blogs that have died or been silent for well over a month have been removed (as it is quite unfair to direct people to resources that are no longer living) and other incidental issues have been dealt with. So, links should be live and content should be fresh (and original, in the sense of un-plagiarized or attributed to their proper source). Enjoy.

We’d like to bring in the new year with a new blogger of the month for January, 2008. This month, Jim West interviewed Christian Brady, aka the Targuman. Read the interview here. Thanks Chris for your participation!

I’ve added a link to the Tyndale Tech blog. If you aren’t familiar with David’s work- do yourself the greatest of favors and take a look.

The Ancient World Bloggers Group (a Facebook group) now has a blog, which I have just included in our list of links. I look forward to seeing how they utilize the space. If you’re on a Facebook, you can join the group here.

I’ve added a link to Soren Holst’s blog, Pergament, today. Soren is a brilliant scholar at the University of Copenhagen; and though in Danish his inclusion manifests our interest in including non-English blogs and making folk aware of the wider world of biblioblogging.

I’ve added today Esteban Vazquez to the list of blogs worth watching. To be sure, there are others; but these are those which in our estimation are of significant value to wide audiences of biblical scholars and theologians.

We are happy to consider others- but we reserve the right to include as we see most proper.
