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.

NEW: Search Biblioblogs by Academic Qualifications

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:

There is some technical information about how the stats are calculated on the Technical Bits page.

 

Waneta Dawn, Jocelyn Andersen, Alan Lenzi and Seth Ehorn

Seth Ehorn

We have added Waneta Dawn’s biblioblog, Submission Tyranny, in Church and Society. Waneta is the author of Behind the Hedge, a Christian novel about an unhealthy marriage which improves when it gets ‘biblical.’ On her blog she examines some of these biblical issues.

A blog in a similar vein is Jocelyn Andersen’s Woman Submit! Christians & Domestic Violence. The title of her blog comes from the title of her book on Christan domestic violence.

We also came across a new blog by Alan Lenzi, Feeling Finite . . . and embracing it. Alan is a professor in the Humanities at University of the Pacific, a small liberal arts college in Stockton, CA, where he teaches in the Religious and Classical Studies Department. Some time ago, earlier this month, he used to blog at Bible and the Ancient Near East.

And Seth Ehorn let us know about his biblioblog, Sententiae Nil. Seth is a graduate at Wheaton College Graduate School. He also rides a chopper.

Most goyish search that ended up here

According to our blog stats, somebody who ended up at the Biblioblog Top 50 googled for:

hebrew word for goy

That’s soooooo goy.

(And we don’t want to hear any justifications of this search string distinguishing Yiddish from Hebrew, as that would be just as goy.)

Lost Women, A Godlike Woman, A Podcaster: 3 biblioblogs added

Carolyn James

Introducing some new additions to our non-exclusive, non-official list of biblical studies bloggers:

Carolyn James (Carolyn’s Reflections) is author of books such as Lost Women of the Bible: The Women We Thought We Knew (Zondervan, 2005) and The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules (Zondervan, 2008). Recently she has been blogging some of the biblical women who get lost.

Meg has been posting various group biblical studies she has been running at Women In His Image.

And biblical studies Cyber-Pioneer, Tim Bulkeley commenced a Podcast blog in August 2009 a couple of years ago, called 5 Minute Bible, which we’ve finally added to the list. Tim also blogs at Sansblogue and lectures at Carey Baptist College in Auckland, New Zealand.

And The Beginning…

We are fortunate here at the Top 50 to have readers who are exceedingly intelligent.  Take, for example, Pat’s remark to the previous post

Why would you simply give up if someone disagrees? Every project that’s worth something has people who disagree with it.  I was feeling like the Biblioblog Top 50 was not only the producer of a fun communal event each month (the rankings), but also a beneficial tracker of all the Biblioblogs out there.

It’s because of those reasons that we will naturally carry on with our work, undeterred by any naysaying opposition or silly carping.  I speak for the entire group of 12 who work here when I say, we are just now getting started.  For, as Pat observed in a followup to the aforementioned post, it was indeed a parody; and one well deserved.

The End

[Note: with the passing of time, it might not be quite so evident that this post was a satire of this post, which leaps from the affiliation of individual bibliobloggers (who are SBL members), to the misleading charge that either Jim West or this site control who is a member of this affiliation. As the Complete List of Biblioblogs makes abundantly clear, this site attempts to list biblical studies bloggers; it certainly does not control them, and neither would any of them let us. It appears that some people are taking this site, and biblioblogging, all too seriously.]

This is the final post for The Biblioblog Top 50. Several days ago, in an attempt to dissociate our blog from humorless bibliobloggers such as Christopher Heard and Alan Lenzi, we ‘officialized’ Jim West as CEO of the Biblioblog Top 50. Despite this implicit plea for removal from the priggish posts of the self-appointed guardians of anal retentiveness, our plea was ignored. One can infer only one thing: being a part of their idea of “Bibliobloggers” is not voluntary and if one wishes to be removed, one has to delete one’s blog.

So we will not post again until Alan Lenzi resumes biblioblogging. See you around the biblioblogosphere.
