Jim just posted a twitterific, SBL laced, November 2014 Biblical Studies Carnival. As expected, Jim has a great collection of links with bonus twitter handles so you can follow all the “really important people” on Twitter. Brian Small has a great collection of Hebrews Highlights for November.
Daniel Gullotta will be hosting in December (due Jan 1), so plan on making a few nominations to help Dan make his first Carnival memorable. The January Carnival will be hosted by Vincent Artale (@VincentArtale) at his Talmidimblogging and in February 2015 Jennifer Guo (@jenniferguo) will host the Biblical Studies Carnival. March and April are open for volunteers, the May Carnival will be hosted by Claude Mariottini (@DrMariottini).
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. If you would like to host a Carnival in 2015, send me an email (plong42 at gmail dot com), or a comment on this post and I can contact you.
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
Good day Phillip,
I research the causes for the differences between older translations of the Bible like the King James Version, versus modern versions like the New International Version on my blog. I know this is not a very popular subject, but I love doing the research. Maybe some of your readers might be interested.
Could you tell me more on how the Bible Study Carnival is run. Should one send a selection of one’s posts that might be interesting, or is it pure random?
God Bless,
I have read you blog a few times in the past. I think each host gives the Carnival a distinct flavor, but usually there are OT/NT, theology, Christian History, sometimes a few archaeology links depending on what happens during a given month. Sometimes there is an issue that burns bright for a few weeks and can generate a collection of links, nothing about these Carnivals is set in stone (which is why they are fun!) In addition to Jim West’s carnival in this post, here are the last two:
