I’ve been running two concurrent series on my blog. One about Biblical interpretation and translation and the other about technology. I’ve been chewing on these two topics like a dog that can’t decide which bone tastes better. And by the way, I’ve been talking about dogs a lot. And bubbles. I’m sure there’s something deep there.
Biblical Anxiety Disorder
“Thumbs” was definitely the most fun to write. Swift’s A Modest Proposal came to mind.
Jesus, the sinner: The key to understanding Jesus is seeing him as a rebel not a saint.
Chewing on pearls: An insoluble problem in interpretation.
The dog made me do it: Simultaneous demonic and holy spirit possession.
I’m madder than a balloon dog in a pen of porcupines: If the KJV was such a great translation, why was Victorian England such a mess?
The Gospel is more important than the Bible: Shooting all the canons. The OT is subordinate to the NT is subordinate to the Gospel…
My sermon series on the book of Judges: Chapter 1, All Thumbs: Execrable exegesis.

And a big thank you to Eddie for linking to my posts as well as Doug and Wayne.

Some related posts on techie nerdiness. Computer Damnation is the best of the lot.
Run over by my blogroll
I’ve been dodging Bloglines, hiding from Google Reader, and letting my blogroll get stale for several months now. I burned out on too much information. But I’ve started creeping back out of my hole. These are the only blogs I’m following at the moment:
1. Clayboy: Undiluted Biblical studies and cultural comment.
2. Diario de um sociólogo: Noticias e comentario sobre Moçambique da perspectiva de um sociólogo.
3. Ben Byerly: A nice mix of Africa, missiology and Biblical studies.
4. Eddie Arthur and Michael Kruse I watch on Facebook.
5. Better Bibles is quiet these days but I still post and read there.
6. Slate, Summaries of what’s in Time, Newsweek, etc. and BBC News.
7. I also keep an eye on White African and What I Learned From Aristotle.
I feel incredibly honored to be on your short list. Someday, I might dream of writing posts as dynamic and thought provoking as yours are.
Bipolar doesn’t have a dash in it. I know this unfortunately.
Thanks for the interesting links.

It always makes me think of a polar bear on a bicycle. Jeff, I’m almost off Clonezepam. 36 hours and counting although I’ve had some rough nights.
This is an interesting blog i like the article. Yeah i guess those really are the disorders.
