Blog News

I‘ll return to blogging next week, with changes.

Since I started blogging more than a decade ago, I’ve used my blog as a public notebook to record quotations I want to remember, summarize articles I’ve come across in research, explore a problem or question, mainly in biblical studies or theology. My blog posts don’t necessarily express settled views; writing a blog post doesn’t indicate (permanent) endorsement. The writing has been nondescript at best, flabby at worst, the content desultory.

It’s time for a shakeup. I’d say “redesign,” except that the “re” would be misleading. Here’s the plan: Each week, I’ll write 3-5 posts on (mainly) biblical or (sometimes) theological subjects, plus one book review and one essay. I’ll end the week with Friday Flurry, a potpourri of bigger-than-Tweet observations, quotations, book notices, on whatever has crossed my line of vision or scurried through the blank space of my brain during the week. I reserve the right to add or adjust as circumstances require or the Muses demand.
