Unsettled Christianity

Jim West who?

First, James McGrath updates a list and has some thoughts as well:

Jim Davila, Chris Brady, and Michael Barber have shared their papers online. (I should mention that it is not only bloggers presenting in this session who have done this – Ben Witherington has shared his paper from the Paul and Scripture seminar)

Mark Goodacre and Jared Calloway are among those who posted about the session…..

Read his post here, and then, read them all –

Exploring Our Matrix: Bloggership: The #SBL10 Session on Blogging and Online Publication.

Dr. Jim Linville was a great guy to hang out with and talk politics! He shared some brief thoughts before he boarded the 80 hour so flight to Canada!

Steve showed up for the (first) Biblioblogger dinner (we actually had another one the next day and a smaller get together that evening).

Dr. Cargill has shared his paper in two parts. This is important, actually, and not to be taken lightly. I want to address both his and Chris Brady’s proposal next week. (and really, really, really look at the picture there)

Daniel Kirk has a spot on the biblioblogger section you should check out as well. And Jared as well. I was able to meet both Jared and Daniel, chatting with them for a while.

Some of the most enjoyable time I spent at SBL was with James Spinti who provided a great spirit, great conversation, and some thoughts for me to ponder on.

And Edward Cook…Peter Head…although really about the SBL…

And Jim Davila has a list of total SBL thoughts…

And Scott Bailey… And Bill Heroman

There was a great sense of community at the biblioblogger session and other events, even for a non-scholar such as myself. No elitism, no ivory tower. They didn’t exclude or talk down to me, etc… A great bunch of honest to goodness people in real life. I admit, that I get star struck at times… I mean, when it comes to biblioblogging, some of these people are like tv stars. And then, you meet them in real life… authors, bloggers, teachers, etc…

Yep, nerd-crush, I have it.
