29th Biblical Studies Carnival
Jim West has done a terrific job in getting the new Biblical Studies Carnival up and running almost before the month has started. It is an excellent and wide-ranging survey, with lots of tasty links to follow–up. It is really impressive that Jim can read so widely among books, conference notices, discussion lists and blogs, and still be entirely wrong about such basics as the synoptic problem. 
One of the most noticeable things about Jim’s survey is the way he holds back his own opinions, and restrains himself is it’s clarity of forceful opinion, entertainingly expressed. I like a man who’s not afraid to be wrong in public. (Possibly the only thing he has in common with the Bishop of Durham.)
No, seriously, Jim, thank you for an excellent and ultra-punctual resource. There’s a lot here to browse I hadn’t seen.

No, Wright just thinks he’s always right but Jim knows he can be wrong - especially on cats and probably the synoptic problem.

As I said quite clearly, I’m right and everyone else is wrong… Always.
Especially about cats!!!!
