The June 2014 Biblical Studies Carnival will be hosted be hosted right here at Reading Acts. This is a “call for links” to blogs of interest published in June 2013. Email the links to me (plong42 at gmail.com) or leave a comment with a link. June and July are usually a bit slow for bibliblogs, so take a break from the World Cup help me out by posting something really spectacular in the next few days!
What makes a good post for a Carnival? Any Blogs that contribute something to the discussion of biblical literature theology, and culture. For example, what posts made challenged you to think more deeply about a topic? What blogs offered insights into Scripture and theology?
Send your links and look for the Carnival around the first of July.
I am also looking for more volunteers for the 2014 Carnival Season. Jonathan Homrighausen at Linguae Antiquitatum is hosting in July (due August 1) and Rob Bradshaw is our host in August (due September 1). That means from September (due Oct 1) through the end of the year is wide open for volunteers. Please email me (plong42 at gmail.com) and pick your month! Carnivals are a great way to attract attention to your site if you are new blogger, but more importantly it gives you a chance to highlight the best and the brightest in the world of bibliblogs.
I have been blogging the lectionary this month – somewhat less than scholarly – and a tad impatient with the reader’s digest view of e.g. Psalm 89 http://meafar.blogspot.ca/2014/06/how-important-is-it-to-read-all-of-long.html.
The more popular posts and tweets were the ones on Pentecost http://meafar.blogspot.ca/2014/06/pentecost-dove-and-quail.html and Trinity. http://meafar.blogspot.ca/2014/06/trinity.html
As usual I am pursuing the musical angle – I am just working on the whole of Genesis 24 for July – i love Gen 1 but I wonder if the whole Bible really can be sung in this A minorish mode. Still – the more I do, the more I learn…
