  • Last. Time. I. Invite. Joel. Over. Ever.

    I invite you into my home.  I cook a fabulous dinner for you … New Orleans style BBQ shrimp and smoked gouda grits, mind you.  I provide you with your choice from a sampling of Louisiana’s finest beers.  I give you king cake for dessert. And THIS is what I get in return.  Shameful.  Outright…

  • now that is shocking, joel …

    joel, i could never hold you as a role model considering who you like …

  • The 700 Watts Club

    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…

  • Monkeys Speak out on the Resignation of Bruce Waltke

    A lot of people have spoken out on the resignation of Dr. Bruce Waltke (check out John Hobbins’ round-up).  You can see that I have written in support of him.  But, what no one has really been asking is what do monkeys think.  If the theory of evolution is correct, then they are in fact…

  • Poor Old Nabonidus

    It is a little sad when you read about someone in history who was such a poor ruler that people welcomed his demise.  Like this section from Bright’s History of Israel: Nabonidus who fled was subsequently taken prisoner.  A few weeks later Cyrus himself entered the city in triumph.  According to his own inscription, he…

  • Giving the Bible Commentwary Another Shot

    A good while back, when I first started using Twitter, I had the idea to start a Bible Commentwary.  The basic gist of the idea was that I would choose a verse or passage for a given day (probably not daily as I at first thought) and people would need to comment in 140 characters…

  • Joel's Roundup on Jim's Disappearance

    Joel Watts is rounding up the posts on Jim West’s disappearance.  I feel no need of duplicating efforts.  So, check out the roundup as he continually adds to it. Related: Engaging Atheism (Joel) Jim West’s Tattoo The Most Dangerous Biblioblogger of All – Jim West is the Antichrist

  • A Couple of Posts by John Hobbins

    Feels like I haven’t linked to John lately, and by not doing so I have done my readers a great disservice.  I don’t always agree with John when it comes to certain issues, but when it comes to language I do more often than not.  I’ll recommend three recent posts you might want to check…

  • Not Buying the Jim West is Gone Thing … For Now

    I may in fact turn out to be proven wrong.  But I have a hard time believing that someone who could write this inspiring article about Blogging the Bible could just shut down.  It ends: Blogging the Bible is no longer a fringe pastime for a few; it is a means by which scholars of…

  • Daniel McClellan on Religion, War and Peace

    If you have ever heard Judaism, Christianity, and Isalm, vilified and described as a primary catalyst of war in both the history of the world and more modern times, be sure to check out Daniel McClellan’s most recent post entitled “St. Francis of Assisi and the Crusades.”  The topic of religion is fresh in my…
