This month’s Featured Blogger interview is now available here. John Hobbins interviewed Tony Siew, who teaches at Trinity Theological College in Singapore and authors the Revelation is Real blog. The interview should be of interest to a wide range of readers as it discusses the relationship of scholarship to ministry, pseudepigraphy, chiastic structures, and intertextuality. Thanks Tony for participating in the interview!

The rankings for the top fifty biblioblogs of June is out. The list is based on Alexa statistics. See here. Congrats to Jim West, who was ranked numero uno for the fourth month running. Congrats also to all the first appearances such as John Anderson, who was our Biblioblogger of the Month for June.

Just updated the link to Matthew Burgess’s blog, who recently switched over to Wordpress. His blog is called Confessions of a Bible Junkie: http://mjburgess.wordpress.com/.

Josh McManaway fell prey to Nick Norelli’s evangelistic crusade and is now using Wordpress. His new blog is called Son of the Fathers. Be sure to add Josh’s feed to your list. I hope you enjoy your new real estate, Josh.

I’m pleased to announce that our featured blogger interview for the month of June is now available. This month I interviewed John Anderson. John authors the Hesed we ‘emet blog, and is a PhD student in Old Testament at Baylor University. In the interview, John talks about his background, studying at Duke and Baylor, as well as his current research interests. You may find the interview here.

I added a new blog to the list, under the “New Testament” category: Sitz im Leben. I can’t comment on the blog’s author, because it’s me. I just launched it today, but I hope you’ll add it to your RSS feeds and find it interesting once I start producing content.

I just added John’s interview with Cynthia Nielsen, who authors the Per Caritatem blog. It’s a fascinating interview, which you’ll want to read. The interview is located here. Thank you Cynthia for your participation!

I stumbled on Julia M. O’Brien’s eponymously titled blog and added it to our list. I was recently reading her book, Priest and Levite in Malachi, and was fortunate to find her blog. For more information about her scholarship, read her bio page.

I Just added a new link to the site. Helek Tov is a blog by Jeffrey García, who is a PhD candidate under Larry Schiffman at NYU. According to his about page, Jeffrey’s wide-ranging interests include “archaeology in the Hellenistic and Roman Period, Post-Biblical Jewish Literature, Second Temple History, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Historical Jesus, the Synoptic Gospels & Problem, and Rabbinic Literature.”

Cynthia Nielsen, whose wide-ranging blog (Per Caritatem) touches on everything from ancient philosophers to the Old and New Testaments (especially Paul) to modern philosophers and Russian literary figures, has agreed to be interviewed for biblioblogs. Not many Society of Biblical Literature members regularly interact with the scholarship and subject matter of multiple cognate disciplines, much less blog about it, as Nielsen does. Here is her curriculum vitae. The list of the societies of which she is a member is an index of the breadth and depth of her scholarship (in alphabetical order):

  • American Catholic Philosophical Association
  • Calvin Studies Society
  • National Council for Black Studies
  • North American Society for Philosophical Hermeneutics
  • North Texas Philosophical Association
  • Society for Continental Philosophy and Theology
  • Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
  • Society for Philosophy in the Contemporary World
  • Society for the Study of Africana Philosophy
  • Society of Biblical Literature

We will post the interview in the middle of May.
