Biblioblog Rankings for July
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:
- Need for better hosting
- Possible peer reviewed bibliblog

Chris will be posting a series of entries here dealing with the Consider Christianity series. One of the purposes of my publishing company, Energion Publications is to publish materials that start conversations. As a small publisher, I think it’s useful for me to help start the conversations. Chris has been reading the books, and he…
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…
Since the Foley scandal broke I’ve read and heard a number of commentators talk about the danger of evangelical Christians staying home on election day. The suggestion is that especially the conservative “family values” voters will be so put off by the Foley scandal and the apparent lack of action by the leadership to deal…
OK, I don’t usually post this sort of thing, but it’s just too funny. This morning while driving I was listening to a morning show, and one of the folks is about to get married and was having trouble picking a groom cake. He has finally decided to have his two cats done in chocolate…
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…
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!
