June 2011 Top 10 Biblioblogs

Thanks to all who voted for this month’s Biblioblog Top 10! Sorry for the lateness of the post (and for not having time for some artwork). We’ve had quite a shakeup this month, with a new #1 blogger and several newcomers to the list. Here is your biblioblogger-chosen top 10 biblioblogs:

2. James McGrath, Exploring Our Matrix

May 2011 Top 10 Biblioblogs

I have to apologize for the lateness of this post. I have been out of town for two of the last three weeks and was dealing with a sick toddler for the week I was in town. I am putting the list together and will have it up soon.

UPDATE: Here we go. Remember, you can send in your votes any time you want to bibliobloggerstop10 ( a ) yahoo.com. We’ve already done numbers 1 and 2, so I guess we’ll do a drawing of #3 this time. Since I haven’t really had time to sit down and do a legitimate caricature, I’ll post an old charcoal piece I did of my wife and myself.

1. James McGrath, Exploring Our Matrix

2. J. R. Daniel Kirk, Storied Theology

3. Daniel O. McClellan

4. Joel Watts, Unsettled Christianity

5.  Suzanne McCarthy, Suzanne’s Bookshelf

6. Edith van den Berg, Zetitikos (Dutch)

7. April DeConick, The Forbidden Gospels

8. Stephen Douglas, Undeception

9. Amanda, Cheese-Wearing Theology

10. Jim West, Zwinglius Redivivus

April 2011 Top 10 Biblioblogs

I received several emails this month voting just for one blog, and the same blog each time, but none of the voters included URLs for their own blogs, and I didn’t recognize any of the names. Rather than respond individually to each email, I’ll remind everyone that this list is determined by biblioblogger vote, and bibliobloggers who vote should include their blog’s URL after their vote (at least the first time, anyway). Send emails to bibliobloggerstop10 ( a ) yahoo.com. With that said, here’s your list for this month, with blogger number 2 caricatured. Unfortunately, time restrains prevent me from listing all the honorable mentions:

1. James McGrath, Exploring Our Matrix
2. Daniel O. McClellan
3. James Bradford Pate, James’ Thoughts and Musings
4. Jim Davila, Paleojudaica
5. Andrew Byers and Joel Busby, Hopeful Realism
6. Stephen Douglas, Undeception
7. Various, Biologos
8. Kurk Gayle, Aristotle’s Feminist Subject
9. Kevin Brown, Diglotting
10. J. R. Daniel Kirk, Storied Theology

March 2011 Top 10 Biblioblogs

We’ve been seeing an increase in voting, which is great, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement, as my old football coach use to yell at me. Again I’ve gone with a quick sketch of blogger #2 this month (and I just noticed I left a significant portion of it unfinished), as McGrath continues his reign. Surely someone else can uproot him next month, right?

1. James McGrath, Exploring Our Matrix

2. April DeConick, Forbidden Gospels

3. Suzanne McCarthy, Suzanne’s Bookshelf

4. Brian LePort, et al., Near Emmaus

5. J. R. Daniel Kirk, Storied Theology

6. Joel Watts, Unsettled Christianity

7. Bob Cargill, XKV8R

8. John Hobbins, Ancient Hebrew Poetry
