In continuing my some-what rambling study of the opening chapters of Genesis I want to begin by thanking Daniel McClellan and John Hobbins for noting and commenting on this series. As I noted on John’s blog, this kind of engagement is incredibly refreshing to me. As a dean I spend […]
Following my post yesterday David Everson passed along this good news: Daniel O. McClellan has a link to an online pdf download of Rendsburg’s book. Here is the actual page: http://jewishstudies.rutgers.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=236&Itemid=5 That link is now defunct, use this: http://jewishstudies.rutgers.edu/redaction-of-genesis Here is the blog: http://maklelan.blogspot.com/2009/01/gary-rendsburgs-redaction-of-genesis.html This is a slim but very good […]

Imagine… or “Why can’t we all just get along?” I think I will use this line in our next faculty senate committee meeting.
This afternoon I installed Mac OS X 10.6, otherwise known as Snow Leopard. So far it is going very well. A few minor conflicts (Logitech’s Control Center, Nambu [twitter client]) but Exchange on Mail/iCal/Address Book is very nice. But it is the little things that are nice, such as my […]
