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!

I’ve added a link to a new blog by Lee Dahn which focuses on Luke-Acts. Take a look.

Rick Brannan is our featured blogger for June, which means that we have just uploaded an interview with him to the site. Rick is a text geek for Logos Bible Software, and if you have read his blog, then you are already familiar with its first-rate style and original content. We wish Rick the best at this time as he’s about to (or already has?) become a new father. Read the interview here.

I’m really not at all sure why I haven’t added Gary Greenberg’s interesting blog, Bible and History, before now. But I’ve corrected that oversight today. Gary’s always got interesting things to say.

I am pleased to announce the recently uploaded interview with our featured blogger for May 2007. Jim West interviews Bruce Fisk of Crossings. Bruce’s relatively new blog is always insightful, and I know you’ll enjoy learning more about this New Testament scholar. Read the interview here.

If you haven’t visited Gordon Lyn Watley’s blog, Sybilline Leaves, you should be sure to check it out. I’ve added a link to the sidebar. Gordon describes himself thusly:

Lecturer in Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln / PhD candidate in Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity at the University of Virginia / Episcopalian.

So he joins the ranks of the other Episcopalian bibliobloggers Stephen Cook and Christian Brady.
