Resources for Broadening the Conversation

I am not very good as a blogger. But my students sometimes blog as part of their partial fulfillment of course requirements. So I am posting this short invitations to bloggers with interest in biblical studies. All too often a blog is a public diary of thoughts. Frequently it is one megaphone to a blank expanse. However, my mentor Gardner Campbell told me that the best blog is one that sparks a conversation. The conversation requires that one not only post  her/his reflections but also explore the reflections of others. Biblioblogs is a clearing hose for blog on biblical studies. You might like John Hobbins’  Ancient Hebrew Poetry it has a blend of linguistic analysis and some discussion of the challenges of peace in the Middle East. Tim Bulkely has a more fun blog Sansblogue as well as 5 Minute Bible. I find Stephen L. Cook’s blog Biblische Ausbildung fun despite a name that might seem daunting. So explore, converse and then post your reflections.
