The May 2015 Biblical Studies Carnival – A Call for Submissions

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Claude Mariottini

I am hosting the May 2015 Biblical Studies Carnival. Several months ago when I volunteered to host the Carnival, I was not planning to limit my blogging activities. However, for several reasons, I had to limit posting to my blog. This means that during this time of inactivity, I have lost contact with most bloggers.

Since I am hosting the May 2015 Biblical Studies Carnival, I welcome your suggestions for the most outstanding blog posts during the month of May. You can suggest your own posts or you can recommend outstanding posts from other blogs.

As I receive your recommendations, I will read the posts and select the best posts for May. The May 2015 Biblical Studies Carnival will be posted on June 1, 2015.

Thank you for your help.

    Hi Claude. Like you, I have been limiting my blogging recently, and have only posted two posts this month. I posted up a book review the other night on Stephen Hawking’s – Grand Design, and the other post was an assignment on visiting a mosque and comparing it to our own faith.

    Here’s one worth exploring – one of those spontaneous posts that gets to a particular aspect of the Hebrew-Greek divide. https://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/aton-themy-right-hand/

    I recently found your blog when researching El Shaddai. I am currently studying “angels” in the Bible in preparation for a church Bible study and can not find much scholar based writing. I am a very big fan of the Anchor Bible series and would seek that style of study on the subject. Specifically I am interested in the history of angelology for the ancient Jews and wonder if there were any reference to angels in pre-exilic Biblical writing.

      John,

      There is not very much written about angels in pre-exilic biblical literature. Most of the ideas about angels originate after the exile. I will look at the literature and if I find something on this, I will send you an email.

      Thank you for your comment.

      Carlene,

      The Biblical Studies Carnival is a way of calling attention to readers about posts on blogs dealing with the Bible. The person hosting the Biblical Studies Carnival selects some of the best posts published during a specific month and invites readers to visit those blogs and read the posts selected for that month.

    There are many of your posts that I enjoyed. How about one of the ones you did of women in the Old Testament. One I have never seen done is on Huldah. She was a prominent prophet at that time obviously if Kings chose to go to her over a male prophet. The complementarian camp generally ignore her and, as they generally do, say it was because there wasn’t a male available, but that’s a bunch of hogwash! Can you do a blog on her? I’m not sure if there is much info to go on. But you would definitely know if there was.

    Thanks,
    Carlene
