On-the-Web

A few recent, noteworthy posts in the biblioblogs:

• Michael Bird and Michael Whitenton have an article in the newest issue of New Testament Studies: “The Faithfulness of Jesus Christ in Hippolytus’s De Christo et Antichristo: Overlooked Patristic Evidence in the Πίστις Χριστοῦ Debate.”

• Michael Kok has Biblical Studies Carnival 45 ( Bible Theme Park) available over at the Golden Rule.

• Mark Goodacre and Tommy Wassermann carry a news article about the additional leaves recently found from and within Codex Sinaiticus.

• NT Blog celebrates its sixth birthday today after a previous year that saw the incorporation of the old NT Gateway blog with it.

• After an eventful month personally, Mark Hoffman reports some advances in enabling computers to decipher ancient manuscripts.

For the past several weeks, I have been working on some reasonably substantial changes to the site that should make it more useful and beneficial. With these changes completed and my comprehensive exams on the horizon (in both a hermeneutical and a temporal sense), I hope to begin regularly posting again quite soon. For anyone who may be interested, the following are among the most significant of changes to the site:

The bookshelf has a new section on faith and scholarship, which (for starters) includes the following works:

The blogroll has been updated and transferred from its own page to a sidebar widget. Also, Greek blog titles are now alphabetized according to the Greek alphabet rather than their transliteration. So, for example, titles beginning with (Greek) epsilon are alphabetized after titles beginning with (English) gee.

Look for several additions to appear in the coming days.

The link list on the Greek resources page has been updated and expanded to include some additional, online resources for studying New Testament Greek and the Greek New Testament.

A new page is now available that will eventually house several resources for learning New Testament Greek. Currently, the page features MP3 audio recordings of the basic verb and noun paradigms as well as some songs that have been translated into Greek. Repeatedly hearing these paradigms and the songs in which they are used can provide one more way of cementing New Testament Greek in memory.

Right now, the Greek resources page basically reflects my old faculty page at Faulkner University, but expect more material to become available and a more friendly organization to develop over the coming weeks.
