Favorite Book on Evolution?
The whole recent uproar about evolution has gotten me thinking about the subject once again as it has been a while since I’ve thought much about it. It dawned on me that many Christians would like to learn more about evolutionary theory, even if they don’t accept it. The only books they may be aware…

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…

BiblioBlogger Theme Songs – Ferrell Jenkins
I don’t know professor Jenkins, but he is one of our bloggers about the lands of the Bible. And, this one seemed appropriate:

Newsweek: Priests unfairly targeted …
An article from NewsWeek has been posted over at The Sacred Page – Newsweek: Priests Unfairly Targeted as Abusers dealing with the scandal of abuse in the Catholic Church. These are things that I have known or thought about before, but for many of the readers of this blog perhaps may not be. Even though…

BiblioBlogger Theme Songs – Mark Goodacre
I think Mark is very proud of the university where he teaches. So, it is only proper that for his BiblioBlogger theme song he has a song that repeats the word Duke probably over 100 times. If you guessed “Duke of Earl” you got it right. Enjoy!:

Darrel Falk on Bruce Waltke's Resignation
I agree with Darrel Falk here (of course I accept an evolutionary understanding of the origins of human beings, so I guess I would agree). Kudos to Bruce Waltke for being open and honest. I particularly like the final assessment (though I’m no longer an evangelical, I was one), also cited in the Inside Higher…

BiblioBlogger Theme Songs – Targuman
Targuman deserves a very special theme song because he is the only BiblioBlogger (at least that I know of) who is a superhero. His superhero moniker “Targuman” I think refers to his unique ability to protect BiblioBloggers from the nefarious plans of those who would seek to do them harm using only “tar” and “gum.” …

"Shepherd" Rulers in the Ancient Near East
I suppose I should take a brief pause from handing out BiblioBlogger theme songs and write something related to Biblical Studies (Just kidding … as if theme songs for BiblioBloggers is unrelated to Biblical Studies). Anyway … I’ve been reading a bit from Ancient Near East: Historical Sources in Translation edited by Chavalas. I know…

BiblioBlogger Theme Songs – Rodney Thomas
Well, Rodney wanted P.O.D. “Revolution” for his theme song. But, as you may see a trend developing, you don’t get to choose your own theme song. Rod’s URL is “Political Jesus.” “Revolution” would have been okay, but what Jesus could possibly be more political than President Jesus. That’s right … Rod’s theme song is “Jesus…

BiblioBlogger Theme Songs – Qohelet
Qohelet is probably my best blog commenter as he probably is for many of you as well. And, I sincerely appreciate that so he gets his theme song before many of you on the BiblioBlog list (if you get them at all). He wanted his theme song to be “Bullet with butterfly wings” (see…
