Here’s my own contribution for the week–my interview with Keith Williams about the Mosaic Bible (NLT).

And here are some blog posts that were not submitted, but that I decided it would be worthwhile to call your attention to.

Josh Mann at for the Sake of Truth wrote a post Ancient Boxing and the Apostle Paul which is just a sample of the many posts he writes on New Testament backgrounds.

One of our other contributions referenced Allan R. Bevere. Besides the that post, let me call your attention to the first post in his series on Revelation. It looks like it will be fun!

Would you approve of a conservative Bible translation project? Before you answer, check out this post from Exploring Our Matrix.

There are many other deserving posts and blogs out there, but I’ll leave it at that.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The Christian Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
