Biblical Studies Carnival XXV - it’s official
Congratulations to Chris Brady for getting the 25th Biblical Studies Carnival up more-or-less on time. He’s dug up a banquet of tasty morsels from the last month or so for your delectation.
In fact, we may as well declare January to be Brady month: he’s also featured with an interview on Biblioblogs as the blogger of the month. Some previous recipients of this award seem to stop blogging once they pass this finishing line, or only post sporadically for a while afterwards. (Is it some obscure Zwinglian curse Jim performs on them?)
He has a nice line on the obscurity of narrow academic specialisations:
[bibliobloggers include] so many who share interests that are not necessarily the undisputed Pauline epistles’ views on cross-dressing Anglicans (or other such narrow niched seminars as we are wont to create at SBL)
I think myself that it is only the disputed letters that lead to any view of Episcopalian transvestitism, and even that is obscure.
