Biblioblog Top 50 – November 2009

It’s the Biblioblog Top 50 - for the month of November 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… wait for it…

 Jim West.

 

Who are the shakers and movers in biblical studies blogging for the month of November 2009? Dave Black Online was up 11 places to No. 5. The Dunedin School rose 35 places to No. 17, following the first blog post from the bibliubiquitous Stephanie Fisher.  Kevin Scull’s Paul of Tarsus lept 86 places to No. 20, following his excellent Biblical Studies Carnival (No. 47). Chris Brady (Targuman) and Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) both bounced back into the Top 50, up 32 places to No. 28 and up 33 places to No. 34 respectively. The man they call J.C. rose from the dead in Earliest Christian History (we’re taking about James Crossley, that is), up 48 places to No. 39, after a series of posts on Ben Witherington. Just slipping into the Top 50 was Jason Staples (up 68 places), who may be Outside the Building, but is not outside our hearts. The highest new entry was from John Loftus (Debunking Christianity), straight into the Top 10 Biblioblogs, at No. 8. And Alan Lenzi (Feeling Finite . . . and embracing it) was down 23 places this month, to No. 160.

So here are the Top 50 Biblioblogs, complete with runners-up, for November 2009:

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.

Biblioblog Top 50 – September 2009

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

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

Although the battle for Number 1 Biblioblogger was very close this month,
Jim West overcame an impressive challenge from Joel L. Watts, and even foiled our attempt to usurp him by reclassifying Matt Dabbs’s Kingdom Living as a biblioblog!

 

We have made over 50 additions during the month, by scouring the world of biblical studies blogging, seeking out women biblical studies bloggers (with plenty of help from other bloggers), and reclassifying about 20 blogs on the related blogs list as biblioblogs with a little more flexibility in the criteria. So do have a check through the updated Complete List of Biblioblogs, if you get the chance. Who are the shakers and movers in biblical studies blogging for the month of September 2009? Daniel O. McClellan (Maklelan) leaped into sixth place this month, up 30 places. The mischievious Jim Linville (Dr Jim’s Thinking Shop and Tea Room) rose 53 places to No. 16, in the initial stages of his plan for world biblioblogging domination. And among the new entrants, in addition to Matt Dabbs (at No. 3), we have Henry Neufeld (Participatory Bible Study Blog) at No. 11, and Rachel Marszalek (Re-vis.e Re-form) at No. 23.

So here are the Top 50 Biblioblogs, complete with runners-up, for September 2009:

Biblioblog Top 50 – August 2009

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

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

The Number 1 Biblioblogger this month is the indefatigable… the irrepressible…

Jim West, who has owned the Number 1 slot for six straight months!

 

So who are the shakers and movers in biblical studies blogging for the month of August 2009? In a burst of zealotry, Jeff Oien (Scripture Zealot) leaped 36 places to third place this month, while Daniel and Tonya (Hebrew and Greek Reader) rose 8 places to fourth. Josh Mann (For the Sake of Truth) rose 41 places to No. 17, and Douglas Mangum (Biblia Hebraica), who has being trying to stay away from the biblioblogosphere but just couldn’t do it, rose 56 places to No. 30. The highest new entry was Ferrell Jenkins, who was reclassified from Related Blogs to a biblioblog, listing at No. 5. The Dunedin School’s new group blog was at No. 31, while Daniel O. McClellan (previously of Maklelan) registered his first Top 50 place, at No. 36.

And without further ado, here are the Top 50 Biblioblogs, complete with runners-up, for August 2009:

[Update: We have been advised of two blogs which should be included amongst the biblioblogs based on their current content, rather than amongst the related blogs: Ferrell Jenkins' Ferrell’s Travel Blog and Robert Cargill's The Official Blog of Robert R. Cargill. We agree. So these two blogs have been included in the Top 50 listings.]

Biblioblog Top 50 – July 2009

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

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

Scene from 'Gone West', the upcoming British Sitcom featuring Jim West

The Number 1 Biblioblogger this month is… Jim West, whose popularity soared after the announcement that an upcoming British Sitcom would be featuring him as the central character.

We have even managed to obtain exclusive footage of the pilot episode from the BBC:

“Aren’t you all entitled to your half-arsed musings on the Divine? You’ve thought about eternity for 25 minutes, and think you’ve come to some interesting conclusions? Well let me tell you. I stand with 2000 years of darkness and bafflement and hunger behind me. My kind have harvested the souls of a million peasants. And I couldn’t give a ha’penny jizz for your internet-assembled philosophy. “
- Jim West (the Britcom character, not the eminent blogger himself)

So who are the shakers and movers in biblical studies blogging for the month of July 2009? V. Henry T. Nguyen (Punctuated Life) enters the elite top 3, with Peter M. Lopez (Beauty of the Bible) one place behind at No. 4. Dave Black (Dave Black Online) is up 30 places to No. 8, Mike Whitenton (Ecce Homo) is up 35 places to No. 11, and ElShaddai Edwards (He Is Sufficient) is up 36 places to No. 14. Brandon Wason (Sitz im Leben) soared 112 places to No. 20,  Robert C. Kashow (Tolle Lege!) rose 86 places to No. 25, Matthew Burgess (Confessions of a Bible Junkie) charged up 110 places to No. 32, and Greek biblioblogger Ekaterini G. Tsalampouni (Ιστολόγιο βιβλικών σπουδών / Biblical Studies Blog) rose 125 places to No. 34. In addition, debutants CD-Host (Church Discipline, No. 19) and Stephen Smuts (Biblical Paths, No. 29) made strong entries into the Top 50.

For the first time this month, we have published the available rankings (across all blogs and sites on the internet) for all of the blogs on the Complete List of Biblioblogs.  So here’s the Top 50 Biblioblogs, and runners-up, for July 2009:

Biblioblog Top 50 – June 2009

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

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

The Number 1 Biblioblogger this month is…
Jim West 

So what else is hot in biblical studies blogging for the month of June 2009?

• John Anderson (Hesed weʾemet) stormed into the Biblioblog Top 50 this month, up 44 places from his previous blogspot ranking to No. 33. His sudden ascension to biblioblogging fame was due not only to his exemplary Old Testament blogging, but also due to his Blogger of the Month interview on Biblioblogs.com, and not the least due to the (not one, but two) interviews he carried out with himself during the month of June.
• Amongst the new entrants to the Top 10 were Neil Godfrey (Vridar), leaping 12 places to No. 3, and Mandy and Calvin Park (The Floppy Hat), up a massive 34 places to No. 5.
• The biggest rises were from V. Henry T. Nguyen (Punctuated Life), up 113 places to No. 11; Doug Chaplin (Clay Boy), up 117 places from his previous blog’s ranking to No. 22; Rachel Barenblat (Velveteen Rabbi), up 96 places to No. 29; and Douglas Mangum (Biblia Hebraica), up 80 places to No. 21.

Here are the new blogs we have added to the Complete List of Biblioblogs this month, along with some other changes in the biblioblogosphere. They are worth checking out:

• After a long absence, old school biblioblogger Brandon Wason returned to form on Sitz im Leben. We discovered The Hyrax on Holy Hyrax, who confesses that while he may have found his emunah, he is still searching for motivation to keep halacha. We were pleased to discover Old Testament scholar Renita J. Weems’ SomethingWithin.com. A blog from Årstein Justnes was added to our small but growing list of Norwegian biblioblogs, just as his thesis was published by Peter Lang: The Time of Salvation: An Analysis of 4QApocryphon of Daniel ar (4Q246), 4QMessianic Apocalypse (4Q521 2), and 4QTime of Righteousness (4Q215a). Prof. Michael L. Satlow of Brown University has accumulated a wonderful series of podcasts on the development of Israelite history ‘From Israelite to Jew’, which are well worth the listen. Last year, Mark Alterman commenced a blog for a Kentucky Christian University grad class called “OT Research and Application,” which he has now transformed into a more permanent resource for OT research, called, appropriately enough, Biblical Research. Prof James M. Kennedy of Baylor University shares his views on the Psalms and other Old Testament literature on his new blog. We also discovered Nevada blogging Samuel on Epiginoskein. The controversial Guild of Biblical Minimalists also returned to biblioblogging this month, in fulfilment of their great commission of “Purifying Biblical Studies since 1987.” But why 1987?
• We were notified that Ruth P. Martin, translator for The Pioneer Bible, posts Greek word studies at The Pioneers’ New Testament. Also, Christian Feminism came, perhaps briefly, back to life this month.
• Mark Goodacre officially launched his podcast blog, NT Pod this month. Also, Jason began blogging on Eis Doxan in May. We decided that even though Peter J. Leithart specializes in theology, he writes so many posts (and books) on biblical studies that he should be on the biblioblog list. We also noticed Altair, who blogs now and again on Depósito Teológico, as well as Luciano Costa, who blogs a little more frequently on Veritas Omnia Vincit. We found out that Vlad (Text and Theology) has been blogging biblical studies for a number of months now. Matt Evans reads books at Broadcast Depth. And we added Michael Metts’s self-titled blog, and Rich S’s An Exegete Reflects, and found Clifford Kvidahl having some Theological Musings. Prolific biblioblogger Bob McDonald started a blog on Matthew in May, which fulfills what had been spoken through the prophets about these end times (Eccl. 12:12bc-13a). Doug Chaplin, previously yet briefly of Blogito Ergo Sim, and previously and not briefly of Metacatholic, has now become a Clay Boy. Ben Witherington transferred his blog to BeliefNet, which unfortunately means that we can’t obtain any statistics for his blog anymore.   But all of this was eclipsed by the news that Johannes Weiss had resurrected from the dead (with who knows how many other saints of the First Historical Jesus Quest), and was blogging, oddly enough, in Italian, on The Apocalyptic Blog.

And here’s the full list of the Top 50 Biblioblogs for June 2009:

Additions and changes to the Complete List of Biblioblogs:

• This month, we added Phillip Marshall’s new blog (Biblical Languages) to the list, which provides some helpful Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek tips and advice. We also noticed that Karyn Traphagen blogs on Hebrew and gardening at Boulders 2 Bits, McClellan posts on Hebrew and other aNE languages at Maklelan, and Timothy McCormick reviews Catholic Bibles. The blog at Bill Mounce.com was also added to the textual criticism and translation section. 
• You might want to have a read of Jane Stranz, who blogs at Of life, laughter and liturgy. . ., specializing in feminist theology.
• In Hebrew Bible / Old Testament blogging, we added our first Romanian blogger, Theophyle, who is currently blogging summaries on just about every topic from the ancient Near East, early Judaism and early Christianity. We also added the blog of Julia O’Brien, Professor at Lancaster Theological Seminary (Pennsylvania), and Jeffrey García’s Helek Tov (previously Me-vaser).
• In New Testament blogging, Ian Millington tries out some mathematical and statistical analysis to understand the New Testament, at his new blog, New Testament Math. We also added Ardel Caneday’s Biblia Theologia,  Andy Naselli’s Thoughts on Exegetical, Biblical, Historical, Systematic, and Practical Theology, T.C. Robinson’s New Leaven, Richard Wilson’s Italian Bibbia Blog, Antony Billington’s Billington’s Blog, Jacobo Jovan Payes’s Biblical Faith, and Matthew Barnes’s In the Corner with Matt. In addition, we found Rafael thinking in public at Verily, Verily, Robert Hulme studying the Bible at RobHu Studies the Bible, and Brett Berger trying to read more dead people at Reed Mor Ded Peepl. We see that John Ottens has begun to engage in some Speculative Hermeneutics, which sounds dangerous. And also worth checking out is John Brentlinger, at RevJohn.
• Biblioblogs which have withered and died in recent months include Kevin A. Wilson’s Blue Cord, Pail Randle’s Greek Books, ‘Conn’-versation, UHL’s The View from Jerusalem, Tony Burke’s Apocryphicity, and Gordon Lyn Watley’s Sibylline Leaves. So we have struck them from the list. But who knows, they may be back.
• We have also made a large number of additions this month to the Related Blogs section – blogs which contain some biblical studies material but whose primary focus lies elsewhere (e.g. archaeology, theology, computer software, etc). Check out the very personal reflections offered in The New Heretics, from a blogger who shares how he lost his Christian faith while in Bible College. Or read a religious studies lecturer’s reflections on the Bible, religions, and politics in Missives from Marx. Or enjoy A K M Adam’s Random Thoughts, such as his current series in which he offers advice on exegesis.
