Richard Fellows begins blogging and Derek Leman gets added to the list

Derek Leman (and his eight children)

Two new bibliobloggers to enjoy:

Richard Fellows commenced blogging this month at Paul and co-workers. Richard “discusses historical questions concerning Paul’s letters, his co-workers, Acts, and chronology.” Richard (and we think that is his real name) has a special interest in possible “Protective heteronymity in the New Testament,” which you can read all about on his website, Name Changes and Aliases in the New Testament.

Derek Leman has been blogging for a couple of years at Messianic Jewish Musings. Derek has a MTheo from Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia). He is a Messianic Jew, Rabbi, Synagogue leader, and author of The World to Come, FEAST, Jesus Didn’t Have Blue Eyes, Paul Didn’t Eat Pork, and A New Look at the Old Testament. We caution that the URL of his website, derek4messiah is a proclamation of allegiance rather than some sort of electioneering slogan.

No Categorization of Biblioblogs as conservative or liberal

Thank you for all your comments and blog posts on whether we should reinstate the categorization of blogs according to their degree of conservative or liberal outlook. After careful consideration of your reasons, we have decided not to proceed with the proposed reinstatement.

The major reason against the reinstatement is that there just aren’t very many non-conservative biblical studies blogs out there, so the categorization would have been largely an exercise in determining just how conservative most biblical studies blogs are. And the mere prospect of categorizing biblical studies blogs as to their degree of conservatism bored us to tears.

For the very limited number of you who were in favor of the categorization (and who coincided with what would have been our rare “liberal” category), we have decided to introduce periodic surveys of bibliobloggers on various topics. Look out for this soon.

Categorizing all Biblioblogs: Conservative to Liberal

By far the most common request we receive at The Biblioblog Top 50 is to reinstate our former categorization of biblical studies blogs from “very conservative” to “very liberal.”

So, we’re considering whether to do it all over again.

However, aware that such categorizations can possibly cause some degree of controversy, we’re offering you a little window of opportunity to comment before any (largely, yet obviously not completely, subjective) categorizations are released. Let us know which categories you prefer: “very conservative” or “authoritarian”? “liberal” or “radical”? from religious to irreligious? or perhaps a scale from “uncritical” to “critical”? How many categories should do it? Should there be a non-commital middle-of-the-road category, or should everybody sit on one side of the fence or the other? Is this completely subjective, or is there a broad agreement as to the relative categorizations of most blogs? Should it be done at all?

We would be grateful for your comments.

Richard Newton sows his seed; Aaron Christianson rants; Adam Darnell darnellifies

Richard Newton (and Sarah)

We have added three more biblioblogs to the Complete List of Biblioblogs:

Richard Newton has been sowing his seed at Sowing the Seed. The blog accompanies his website of the same name, which is devoted to biblical studies with a social sciences bent. Richard is currently researching the Markan Parable of the Sower “from a socio-historical and literary perspective,” which has involved a study of ”Mayan agrarian society for insight into non-industrial perspectives on biblical studies and the parable.”

Aaron Christianson has been ranting at Bible Rants. One of Aaron’s rants is about the sayings Gospel, Q, which Aaron doesn’t think exists. As he says, “Show me one document from before the ninteenth century that provides direct evidence about it. There are [sic] none, so don’t waist [sic] your time trying.”

Adam Darnell has coined a neologism for his own personal brand of wisdom: Darnellia. Adam is an M. Div student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. One of Adam’s pearls of wisdom is this: “In a book as long and wide and deep as the Bible, I’d wager that you can prove both sides of almost any issue, so long as you disregard context.”

New Bibliobloggers: Samantha L. Pascoe, Josh Philpot, and Matt Estrada

We added three new bibliobloggers to The Complete List of Biblioblogs:

Samantha L. Pascoe

1. Samantha L. Pascoe (Scholarly Bound). Samantha began biblioblogging in November 2009, although she also has a mainly personal blog at Again, Beginning Again. The focus of Scholarly Bound is “on the New Testament and Philosophy of Religions.” Her Masters dissertation was on Pionius the Presbyter, who was martyred in 249 C.E.

2. Josh Philpot (The Old Perspective). Josh begain blogging in April 2009. He is a Ph.D. candidate in Old Testament at Southern Seminary (Louisville, Kentucky), under the supervision of Duane Garrett. Josh believes it is a “serious flaw” to read Daniel as though it was written in the time of the Maccabees, rather than in 605-538 BC, “as the book itself attests.”

3. Matt Estrada (Christian Allegorical Interpretations). In September 2009, Matt began posting papers of allegorical interpretations of the Bible and other texts. In his own words, the purpose of his blog is “to provide you with what I believe to be important, lost, allegorical interpretations of “christian” texts, both Biblical and other, now in the process of recovery.” Have a read of his interesting comments on the story of The Wedding at Cana here.

New Biblioblogs: Original Jewish, The Lyles, and Debunking Christianity

Kris and Jayna Lyle (with Bonzai their dog)

• Original Jewish is the blog of Benjamin Fleischer and Bruce Bromberg Seltzer. Together they write comments on the Tanakh, Talmud, and Jewish practices.
• The Lyles, Kris and Jayna, began blogging in July 2009. Both are opposed to ‘Big Government’ and Barack Obama’s policies. This may have influenced their decision to leave the U.S. for South Africa. Both are now pursuing postgraduate courses at the University of Stellenbosch. Kris previously studied Biblical Languages at HBU, where he graduated in May 2009. Jayna is studying for a Masters in Sociology.
• John W. Loftus has rearranged things over at Debunking Christianity, where he is now the main contributor to the blog and writes plenty about biblical studies. So we have reclassified it from ‘related blogs’ to the biblioblogs. John is the editor of a forthcoming collection of articles, called The Christian Delusion: Why Faith Fails (Prometheus, April 2010).

Biblioblog Top 50 – October 2009

It’s the Biblioblog Top 50 - for the month of October 2009!

The Biblioblog Top 50 ranks each biblical studies blog, or “biblioblog,” by the total traffic or “hits” it receives each month.

The number one biblioblogger this month is… Jim West.

Oh, Jim, you’re tooooo much!

Who are the shakers and movers in biblical studies blogging for the month of October 2009? Jeremy Thompson’s podcast blog, Free Old Testament Audio Website Blog was up 32 places to No. 4. The freewheelin’ Ferrell Jenkins (Ferrell’s Travel Blog) was up 14 places to No. 6. Biblical archaeologist Stephen Smuts (Biblical Paths) shot into the top 10, up 18 places to No. 10. Michael Barber, Brant Pitre & John Bergsma (The Sacred Page) were up 46 places to No. 24, Karyn Traphagen (Boulders 2 Bits) was up a whopping 127 places to No. 28, and Michael W. Halcomb (Pisteuomen) was up 68 places to No. 30. And Alan Lenzi (Feeling Finite . . . and embracing it) was down 42 places this month, to No. 137.

Some New Biblioblogs: Fred Morgan, Jesse Richards, Nathan MacDonald, John Obelenus

(Carissa and) Jesse Richards

We have added four new biblioblogs to the list recently:

• Fred Morgan’s Everything is Theological. Fred Morgan is the pastor at The Hill, a church for young adults in Angola, Indiana.
• From Western Seminary, Jesse Richards’ Without Void. Jesse Richards is currently enrolled in a Masters of Exegetical Theology program at Western Seminary, with interests in the New Perspective on Paul, Justification, the formation of the canon, “the deceptive ‘Bart’,” the Holy Spirit, eschatology, and the gospel.
• From The Sofja-Kovaleskaja Research Team, including Nathan MacDonald, is the Early Jewish Monotheisms Project blog. The reseach project will be undertaken from 2009 to 2014. “Die Sofja- Kovalevskaja Forschungsgruppe unter der Führung von Dr. Nathan MacDonald will die beträchtliche Vielfalt in israelitischem und jüdischem monotheistischem Denken und dessen Verwirklichung während der Exilzeit und der Perserzeit untersuchen, vor allem durch die Untersuchung der relevanten biblischen Texte. Das Projekt besteht aus einem kleinen Team von promovierten und promovierenden Forschern an der Georg- August- Universität Göttingen. Jeder dieser Forscher arbeitet mit einem biblischen Buch oder mehreren Büchern mit der Absicht, die Bücher erneut bezüglich der Vielfalt des jüdischen Monotheismus zu untersuchen. Zusätzlich dazu werden vier Kolloquien stattfinden, wegen welcher eine Reihe fortgeschrittener Akademiker nach Göttingen kommen werden, um folgende Themen zu untersuchen: (1) Göttliche Anwesenheit und Abwesenheit in frühjüdischen Monotheismen; (2) Eschatologie, Gewalt und frühjüdischen Monotheismen; (3) Universalismus und Erwählung in frühjüdischen Monotheismen; (4) Antworten auf die Existenz des Bösen in frühjüdischen Monotheismen.”
• From John Obelenus, TheoRadical. John is enrolled at Boston University in their Masters of Theological Studies program.
