Jeremy Thompson Catholic PhD in Biblical Languages, Programmer, Runner

With Jim West’s retirement, I know the question on everyone’s mind. “Are Joel Watts and Jeremy Thompson now destined to become archenemies?” Joel and I have been friendly in the past, as he’s even allowed me to write a guest post on his blog. But Jim’s retirement obviously changes things. As everyone knows, a Biblioblog’s ranking is BY FAR the most important thing. And the quest for #1 has the potential to create hostility between us.

So, I suppose the answer to the question posed in this post depends on whether or not Joel intends to surrender quietly … I would hate to be the enemy of someone with the assumed name of Polycarp and whose blog is thechurchofjesuschrist, but if it comes to it, I cannot be held responsible for Joel’s decision…

Joel Watts is rounding up the posts on Jim West’s disappearance.  I feel no need of duplicating efforts.  So, check out the roundup as he continually adds to it.

The Most Dangerous Biblioblogger of All – Jim West is the Antichrist

Apparently there has been a recent magazine article on whether or not Jesus was actually wealthy.  I’m with James McGrath on this one.  I doubt that Jesus would have pronounced such harsh woes on the rich if he had been wealthy.  But, you can check out the posts HERE (James McGrath) and HERE (Joel Watts).  I’ll keep you posted as others respond.

I awoke to a number of interesting posts this morning.  They were on a variety of themes, so I couldn’t call this a round up.  But, here are a few that I read this morning that were posted either last night or early today:

1. Jesus Kills Santa (via Joel Watts)
2. I Just Don’t Understand This (via Jim West)
3. The Emails That Raphael Golb Sent, In the Name of Lawrence Schiffman (via Jim West)
4. Is Evangelicalism Losing Its Mind? (via John Hobbins)

At least check out, “Jesus Kills Santa.”  It really is unbelievable.
