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

Tonight I’ll be hosting two Energion authors with strongly opposed viewpoints on the question: Is Social Justice a good thing? The questionf and answer app for Google Hangouts on Air will be enabled, so bring your questions. You can also tweet questions to @energion. Arguing against “social justice” as a useful concept will be Elgin…
I haven’t been very active on this blog or anywhere else over the last few weeks. That’s because work for my business has gotten pretty heavy. I even had to work with a cover designer via phone and e-mail while I entered his designs into the computer. Not being a very graphically oriented person made…
Not too long ago I posted about the necessity for church politics. Today I was reading Frederick W. Danker’s commentary on 2 Corinthians, and I ran across a similar argument, based on 2 Corinthians. Let me quote it: Much of Paul’s success lay in his political acumen, with a flair for recognition of the potential…
Laura (Pursuing Holiness) and I started discussing civility in debate about politics in a couple of comment exchanges and have continued via e-mail. As a result she proposed the idea of a blogroll and aggregator to support civil debate. In particular, we are challenging Christians to follow Christian principles in speaking the truth in love….
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…
John at Locusts and Honey links to an interesting post on Evangelical Outpost that refers to the scandal with Ted Haggard in a dismissive way. Now I would agree that any claim that the Haggard scandal would keep evangelicals home is almost by definition exaggerated. On the other hand, I think such a scandal does…
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!
