Blogroll Amnest & Biblical Studies Carnival – Two Birds with One Stone

In the spirit of “Blogroll Amnesty Day,” I’m linking you to Brooke’s reminder about the 51st Biblical Studies Carnival 😉 :

Reminder to Biblioblogging Top 50 and the Lower 50s Alike

I am indeed ranked much, much higher than he is (though I should say that I like his blog much better than my own).

Joking aside, please do check out Brooke’s post and don’t forget the next Biblical Studies Carnival.  I’ve done my best to provide the rankings because they are fun for me.  The carnival is also something that’s a lot of fun to read and it can be a great way for new bloggers and their blogs to get noticed, as well as draw attention to those who are providing excellent content.

Brooke Lester on Teaching the Hebrew Bible Backwards

It is every teacher’s frustration – Getting to the end of the course without making it all the way through the material.  I remember taking Systematic Theology in seminary and having the course end before we got to Eschatology.  Are you kidding me?

Brooke over at Anumma is dealing with a similar issue by not being able the give The Writings their due in a course on the Hebrew Bible.  I understand his frustration since The Writings contain the Wisdom Literature, which is my favorite part of the Hebrew Bible.  So, he has decided to deal with this in a new and different way by teaching backwards through the Hebrew Bible.  I look forward to hearing his results.  Check out his post HERE to see what tpyes of advantages he imagines from this approach.
