I thought they might not post a static list, since you can get it live, but they did, and it’s here. There are also a couple of notes on developing the library:
If the demise of the monthly Biblioblog top 50 bears more fruit such as lists like this one from Doug Mangum, it could well be a good thing. At first I thought we had such a thing from Jim West, even including “pazang” in the rating, but now in the comments he says it’s based…
Akismet has grabbed a few comments again, largely on the Jena 6 issue. If anyone did comment and thought you had been censored, it was inadvertent. Check for your comment now. If it still does not appear, enter it again. I would appreciate a comment on this post letting me know when you commented and…
For all who have come to expect me to be prolific, I have but one post for today. I’m having hardware problems. I decided to upgrade a couple of things related to putting out my podcast, and the upgrades, which should have been simple, have been anything but. I assume I will have a working…
When the James ossuary was found I initially commented that I thought it looked like a forgery. This was a rather bold statement on my part, probably excessively so. I’m not a paleographer, and I only had a newspaper photograph to work from. Nonetheless, there was enough that I could see that I seriously questioned…
A commenter asks why I have all the spiders in my header and even suggests that there would be many other cool pictures I could use, thus avoiding the spiders. Let me tell you the story of this blog. Actually it started before I began using blogging software. I would just post essays. A friend…
Yesterday I wrote about the senses in which the phrase “bad theology” is used in the creation-evolution debate and in particular on the question of ID. To call something “bad theology” generally requires either a challenge to the internal logic of the statement, or a reference to a particular faith community, because there is no…
Henry,
Good to see movement again.
On topic – I’ve gotten a few requests to make my blog a biblioblog. I keep saying, “no.” I’m saying so ignorantly. Like a one-stop rule in an algorithm – ignorance/stop. It’s just the way I feel. I’m asking you. Not for how-to. About pro’s and con’s?
Sorta-on-topic. This goes to bible study in general. Inerrancy, maybe. Canon, sorta. Would you please do me a favor? I keep getting questions about my research and work. I’ve worked up a professional bio. Would you please see and criticize?
If you have the time, then you might find a little (maybe) of value to you in your inerrancy (maybe canon?) sorts of musings.
For example, the bio includes – “Clergy broke down. Cases suffered catastrophe for lack of proper judgment. Key – the religious and theological rules – the religious rules themselves – suffered catastrophe. Deformity. Shear. Cascading failure. Religious rules and theology plotted to resonant disaster. Or worse (for swallowtail lovers).”
Asking for criticism on this bio. I want to get it over. Put it to rest.

Any progress on Robert Barclay?
Cheers,
Jim
No, no progress on Robert Barclay. He made it onto my reading less, and then life set in … I’ll get there eventually.
I found your bio rather interesting. It was a bit hard to follow, but with due attention I got the point, I think. I find your research topic very interesting and potentially valuable. I wonder if there might not be a way to publish on the topic without doing injury to your subjects as a group. It’s too bad not to have more material on such adjudication available.
As for biblioblogging, I have a simple philosophy. I blog what I blog and if I’m linked as a biblioblog, I’ll go along with posting the appropriate badge and will link back. If someone suddenly determined that I am not a biblioblog, I wouldn’t make any changes to how I blog.
I apologize for my slow responses here. I’ve been dealing with quite a number of releases and related publicity for my company. It tends to keep me from more personal and less commercial writing simply due to fatigue.
Henry, thanks. Good responses all the way around. ~ Jim
May the Lord be your strength!
