I also want to note that Alex Golub’s article brings up one point that I have made often and yet do not see discussed in theological terms very much (if at all). The original grounding event of the Last Supper thus becomes the source of a metaphorical identification. This is […]

Big hat tip to Jim West: The Gospel of Judas Re-Examined From the CBC story: Some scholars are refuting an interpretation of a 1,700-year-old document claiming to prove that Judas was a hero and not a villain. Craig Evans, a professor of New Testament studies at Acadia Divinity College in […]
Stephen Cook of Biblische Ausbildung has started a new series on the Old Testament portion of the Revised Common Lectionary. Be sure to check it out! This week’s entry (for next week): Preaching Malachi 3:1-4 (RCL: Year C, Advent 2) Warm thanks to all for the huge response to my […]
Dr. Jim West has the latest BS Biblical Studies Carnival. 🙂 For those new to this, it is a monthly roundup of all the biblioblogging of recent weeks. Jim’s is incredibly thorough and well annotated. Thanks for the good work Jim and for the mention! (Via Dr Jim West.)
I was sent an email with a series of questions for an interview for a local magazine. I thought some might be interested in how I responded to the questions. 1. Was it difficult to leave New Orleans given all that’s happened there? It was. In fact, we evacuated to […]
(Just reposting to make sure it shows up in iTunes.) My paper went fairly well (or at least, that is what people told me 😉 ) and the sessions were even better. I really enjoyed them and the afternoon session was packed. Kevin Wilson and Steve Cook were there! It […]
I am fortunate that although I have less time for research due to my administrative duties I do have a research budget. Thus…books! (The average 45% SBL conference discount helped.) A quick list: Conversations with Scripture: The Law, by (our own bibliobloger!) Kevin Wilson. This series of the Anglican Association […]
Today 5 of us got together to chat about biblioblogs, SBL, and stuff. We covered blogging, teaching & tech, Hebrew Bible, U2, and tattoos (go with nun, bet, lamed).

And Crossley replies here. West reject Crossley’s suggestion that “that New Testament studies can be furthered by non believers.” But again, interpreting theological texts (and that is what the New Testament is) requires a theological mindset, just as interpreting mathematical texts requires a mathematical mindset. In other words, biblical interpretation […]
I will be there! From Blue Cord: Rick at Ricoblog and Tim at Sansblogue have suggested that biblobloggers get together after the Computer Assisted Research Group meeting (1:00-3:00) on Sunday. We will be getting together at 3:00 pm in Room 103A – CC, which is where the CARG session will […]
