Welcome to Biblical Studies Carnival #213 for December 2023. This month, Jim West celebrates Zwingli’s birthday with the “The December ‘Out with the Old in with the New’ Stupendous Biblical Studies Carnival of Stupendousness.”
Once upon a time, many many years ago, there was nothing. And then Jim Davila and Mark Goodacre started things called ‘blogs’. These were places where they shared news and insights into things Hebrew Bible and New Testament (respectively). Then a third joined the fun and a blog for the whole Bible was born. Given birth, in fact, by yours truly. The history of the movement is described in a 2010 essay and made available here. If you’re interested in the birth of bible blogs.
Next month, long-time blogger Jacob Prahlow will host the carnival at Pursuing Veritas. Jacob is the founder and editor of The Conciliar Post. I would love to talk with you about hosting a Biblical Studies Carnival on your website. There are people doing really good work on podcasts and YouTube, it would be great if someone did a carnival featuring some of the best academic podcasts. What does a Carnival look like? Look over Jim’s for this month and here is The November 2023 Carnival, featuring the best of November 2023. Then contact me (email, plong42 @ gmail.com).
