Jim's real theme song & the biblioblog rankings for November

Well, I want to start off by saying how awesome it was to meet many of you in person at SBL Atlanta about a week ago.  But, sadly no one put two and two together and bought the guy who does the rankings a round at Gibney’s.  I’m looking at you Scott Bailey … notice who’s just above you in the list?

And, then there was Barber and McGrath … Unfortunately their papers were the only ones I heard at the Biblioblogging session.  But, not even a shout out?  I’d say that’s good enough for maybe 3rd place (but only because I ate dinner with you on Monday, James) and 42nd place … Imagine where you could be if you would have just gave some props …

Well, this is not all exactly true.  Joel did in fact try to pay my way for the whole conference in order to be #1, but I mean there’s only so much I can do …

No, I’m only kidding … I’m not saying I can be bribed … but I’m just saying it might be something that we all want to think about for next year 😉 ;-).

Or, maybe you all just lost because God made you lose

Okay, without further ado … Twimmy Twest won again.

*streamers … confetti … etc.*

But now more importantly, I’m dubbing Twestie with a new theme song:

  • […] Jeremy Thompson has graciously recorded the rankings according to Alexa stats for the biblioblogs.  Same top three, yada yada, and then Chad and I reached #31 this month! […]

  • Excellent work as ever Jeremy. 😀

  • Hey Jeremy,

    Could you add Chad Presley to the other author for our blog, Political Jesus. He deserves recognition too.

  • Maybe you can give us a hint as to what level of “persuasion” is satisfactory. Tell you what–I’ll give you my daughter’s cat if I’m NOT #1 next month. Persuasive enough?

    • Sorry Steve. I hate cats. In my mind they should be classed among the rodents.

  • Jeremy,

    I sent you a pitcher of beer!! But before it got to you, I found out later, Watts intercepted and chugged it all…

    True story.

    • Scott,
      That explains a lot actually. I think he must do that everytime he blogs.

  • […] Biblical Studies Carnival has been posted at Bulletin for the Study of Religion, and the Biblioblogs Top 50 is out.  I’ve moved up in the world to #35, probably as the result of actually blogging […]

  • […] Jeremy Thompson (of Top 50 fame) is the latest to espouse the views of his preferred translation over at Political Jesus. His case for the New American Bible is well argued. I especialy like his take on why, as a catholic Christian, he requires a Bible with the deuterocanonicals, I use the NAB because it contains the deuterocanonicals. I doubt anyone would read a version of the Harry Potter series that left out all or part of book three. In the same way, I don’t read Bibles that leave out books that I believe to be canonical. If you are a Protestant, would you read from an NIV that was missing the Book of Esther or Job? Doubtful. In the same way, I wouldn’t expect an Orthodox Christian to consistently read from the NAB.
