While I am loath to give evil memes the light of day, Jim West, the Boss Tweed of Biblioblogdom, has called upon his minions to provide a screenshot of their computer desktop and thus satisfy his morbid curiosity. Since, for good or ill, I am counted among such, here it is:

Alas, my gentle snowflakes, my internet is broken once again. O woe! O sorrow! I should have liked to post this on Thursday, but the connection tragically quit working. Behold the trials we must endure! Be that as it may, I was able to glean the following jewels from the blogosphere before it all [...]
Our good friend Jeff has regrettably tagged me with one of those revolting little memes that make their way around the blogosphere like a scourge against everything that is pure and beautiful and good. This particular mutation of that atrocious virus calls for posting some sentences from page 123 of the book that happens to [...]
Thomas Nelson has launched a website for Book Review Bloggers in which they offer a free review copy of the Orthodox Study Bible to those who sign up. This, it seems to me, is an effort to offset the severe beating that the unfortunate OSB has taken in the blogosphere on account of the general [...]
Yes, I am aware that it is now another week than the one just ended, but since I am not yet done posting on eschatological subjects, I have decided to apply a non-literal hermeneutic to the term “week” (cf. Daniel 9:24-27) and proceed unmolested. If, however, you can’t live without a harmonizing explanation, please note [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Tim over at Catholic Bibles was asking if anyone out there knew anything about The Voice, a new Bible translation he stumbled upon while shopping at a local bookstore. Now Wayne Leman over at the Better Bibles Blog offers some answers.
Having carefully inspected the materials to which Wayne links above, [...]
” . . . Jesus and Paul present the same view of the Kingdom of God. The term ‘kingdom of God’ is not very frequent in the Epistles; but it is used as though familiar to the readers, and when it does occur, it has the same meaning as in the teaching of Jesus. The [...]
I don’t mean any offense, my gentle snowflakes, but I have come to the conclusion that you people just write too much. Why, a little while ago, whilst I endured the trials of nearly a week without internet, no less than 500 new messages accumulated in my Google Reader! However, you are all such a [...]
These reflections grow out of a conversation with a good friend nearly a decade ago, at the height of the popularity of the Left Behind series, in which we pondered how might an Orthodox Christian evaluate the bewildering eschatology that underlies these and other such popular works on the “end-times.”
I should like to start by [...]
Welcome to Eschatology Week at The Voice of Stefan! It occurred to me over the weekend that I’ve had a couple of posts on broadly eschatological themes in the works for quite some time, and given the eschatological events scheduled for Tuesday, there is no better time to publish them than the present.
I wish to [...]
Nearly a year ago, the Rev Mr Hobbins posted a very valuable note in anticipation of the yearly meeting of SBL in which he ruefully observed, among other things, that certain scholars’ names are routinely mispronounced even by their academic peers, and that surely something ought to be done about that. John’s brilliant and helpful [...]
