First, from Jim Davila:
Sixth and finally, I think it is fair to say that biblioblogging has contributed at least a little to the accelerating erosion of the authority of the mainstream media. My earlier two papers collected many examples and you can find many more in posts on many biblioblogs since 2005.
Read the entire paper about the progress that Biblioblogging has made. You know my story, of course, but read the details.
Then, Chris Brady,
The anomaly of Jim West
Speaking of Jim I should note the significant variant of Jim West’s blog. The latest iteration is called “Zwingli Redivivus” and while Jim West regularly posts on issues related to biblical studies, he also has various humor posts, rants against the “depraved,” and wikipedia. The volume he produces is considerable and the number of hits his site receives has kept his blog #1 on the Biblioblogs monthly Top 50 since its inception. It is, however, quite the exception.
If the others post theirs, I’ll link to those as well.
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

Thanks for the link and comment! But of all my talk that is the bit you pull out?
I hope folks will consider my proposal. I really do believe it is the best way forward for developing digital bibilcal studies.
Yayyy! “Rants Against the Depraved” usually means me! w00t w00t! It’s almost like I was at SBL… Weird.
Jim West’s blog is more about Popular Culture that it is about The Bible.
I’ve often thought of Jim West as an anomaly . . .
