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:
I’ve replaced my poll on Origen with a new one, this time asking what reason causes you to spend the most time reading the Bible. I’m interested in the results. In my personal experience I have heard people express all of these reasons. You’ll find the poll in the right sidebar.
One of our authors sent me a link to Christianity Today’s article Is Buying Your Way onto the Bestseller List Wrong? In the interest of honesty—and that’s what this is really about—let me note that I’m not playing in the same league as the folks referenced in this article as a publisher. I do work…
My company, Energion Publications, had difficulties with our hosting company, and it was traced to an apparent load created by this blog. Since it seemed top hard to convince the hosting company that a moderately successful (at best) blog such as this one would hardly be causing the difficulties they claimed, I simply chose to…
Oh joy! Oh rapture! Oh Bliss! I have recovered from last month’s #50 to #28 in the biblioblog rankings, and all that with relatively little blogging!
There are many different faith journeys, and I would not presume to speak for all of them. One reason, however, for theology students to lose their faith as they become more educated is that they are given no room to explore questions that they have and are greeted with judgmental attitudes. This specifically applies to…
All the posts have been restored, but I tried to get creative, and to put it generously, the results were not quite what I planned. I have some comments to restore yet. If you commented between February 15 and February 26, it’s possible your comment isn’t there. I do have your comment, however, and will…
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!
