  • Sublime's "Rivers of Babylon" and Sanitization (Videos for Teaching the Bible)

    Nearly every time I mention on Twitter that I am going to be using a video in one of my classes it garners at least a little bit of interest.  So, I’m toying with the idea of starting a series on videos for teaching the Bible.  This would be meant primarily for teaching in academic…

  • The Real December Biblioblog Rankings

    Well, it’s been a crazy year in the history of biblioblogging.  We watched Jim West die and ascend into heaven only to return.  This allowed Joel Watts to be the number one biblioblogger … for a little while.

    That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw all this hullabaloo.  C’mon guys … really … it’s Christmas.  Joel, you take a break.  And, Scott and Jim, you leave Joel alone.  Gosh, I didn’t realize when I took on the rankings I’d also have to babysit you three.  Everybody’s in time out…
