Biblical Studies Carnival XXIII
John F. Hobbins at Ancient Hebrew Poetry has posted Biblical Studies Carnival XXIII. He links to some very interesting articles. I thank him for mentioning me, but among the possibilities regarding my comments in this post which he should have also written were “too uninformed about the question to make a worthwhile comment.” Also see these two follow-up posts of his which add more links and attempt to map out the Biblioblogosphere, which he interprets in a broad sense. John is a very prolific blogger whose posts are always informative and interesting, and I urge all those who haven’t looked at his blog to do it at the earliest opportunity.

I think this would fall under ‘too smart.’

I just saw John’s second follow-up post that you linked to. Are you a rabbi or a friar? (sorry).

If you ask my wife, when I went to rabbinical school I became a friar.
John,
I assume that Andy is hinting at the modern Hebrew slang use of “friar” which means a gullible individual (insert lewder definition here). I have no idea where it comes from, maybe this is a job for Balashon.

It’s actually a pretty recent post…

Thanks for pointing it out. I just went back and saw it among all of the other RSS feeds that I haven’t gotten to read.
