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!

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 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):
We will post the interview in the middle of May.
