The Latest Biblical Studies Carnival
July 2, 2011
Chris Brady (Targuman) has posted the latest Biblical Studies Carnival. Personally, I was off the grid for most of the month and find it more useful than ever to have this little summary of the month’s activity. The comic are a nice touch.
I hope to be updating this cite more in the upcoming month as I return to the academic and research routine. Lots of thoughts on Ugaritic to throw out there (hopefully).

Ketuvim: the Writings of James R. Getz Jr. 
Looking forward to more blogging from you, Jim.
Apart from catching up with personal and family stuff, here are a few things I would talk with you about if we were at the same table together on a fine summer morning:
1) Open Access Dissertations: how many are now available in Bible/ANE etc.? Has anyone made a list?
2) Getting blogs unblocked at universities. I regularly get emails from undergrads and grad students with questions on Hebrew Bible things. I don’t know how widespread it is, but a blog like yours and mine is often blocked on university campuses (not to mention high schools). That’s my experience anyway. I wonder if there is any way to address this.
3) Have you looked at Alan Lenzi’s Reader yet? It’s downloadable online. I plan to review it on-blog. I hope you do the same.
Those are good ideas, John. I wasn’t even aware that blogs were blocked at some universities—I definitely want to look into that. I’m hoping to take a look at Alan’s book in the next few days; blogging a review seems quite appropriate given the open-source ethos behind it.
