The featured blogger for November is Robert Cargill. Robert works on the Virtual Qumran project and is finishing up his dissertation at UCLA. Jim West conducted an interview with Robert, which you can read here. It’s a great interview, and if you’re interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Qumran community (and who isn’t?) you won’t want to miss his comments.

James Spinti is assembling a list of books published by bibliobloggers to be included in the Eisenbrauns November sale (in observance of the upcoming SBL and the part that a number of bibliobloggers play in the SBL).

So, if you’ve written a book and you want James Spinti to include it in the November sale- drop him a note at JSpinti@Eisenbrauns.com and publicize yourself a little. That means you, Crossley, Bird, Goodacre, DeConick, Tabor, Christian, Stephen, and the others that I either don’t know of or have (sadly) forgotten.

We are glad to post this month’s featured blogger interview. Phil Harland of the Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean blog has agreed to participate in our monthly interview. Phil has a very interesting blog which focuses on various aspects of the material culture in antiquity. Be sure to read the interview, which you can find here.

Books- the bane and blessing of scholars… We all love them and we all spend way too much on them. Still, we need them like auto mechanics need, well, whatever their tools are called…

A new blog by T&T Clark is worth your attention as they are doing a good job of announcing great things that you probably need in your Biblical Studies toolbox. So, I’ve added them to the “canonical” blogroll.

A number of blogs have died, lonely, miserable, cold and darkened by months of inattention. In accordance with our desire to keep things up to date- those blogs which have “shuffled off this mortal coil” have been deleted from the “canonical list.”

Alan Bandy is this month’s Blogger of the Month. Alan started one of the first specialized blogs relating to the New Testament: Café Apocalypsis. His blog quickly became known for its content on the book of Revelation (the topic of his dissertation) and apocalyptic literature in general. After a short hiatus, his blog is back online and he does a fine job of answering Jim West’s questions. But enough background, just read and enjoy Alan’s interview.

I am pleased to announce that this month’s featured blogger interview is now available. I interviewed April DeConick of the Forbidden Gospels Blog, which should be well-worth reading. Read the interview here— it’s definitely one of the best ones we’ve posted!

Have you been missing your steady dose of frappuccino with a touch of apocalyptic? Don’t fret. Alan Bandy’s blog, Café Apocalypsis, is back with a new URL: http://www.cafeapocalypsis.com/. Enjoy!

We’re pleased to announce the new interview with Claude Mariottini, who is this month’s featured blogger. Be sure to read Jim West’s interview with the Old Testament scholar Dr. Mariottini here. Thank you, Claude, for your participation this month!
