The SBL/AAR Split

I'd just like to point anyone who is interested to the great conversation going on at April Deconick's (Forbidden Gospels) about the SBL/AAR split. Many people are bringing up many great issues. Among them is the the question of whether or not biblical scholars have lost (or ever had) the respect of other religious scholars. I would say that we aren't much different, and at many points our studies converge, but I'm interested to know what others think.

Note: I have no idea how to link within posts. I know....I know. Please find the Link to Professor Deconick's blog in my links section.

Hello

Well as you will all know from never hearing the name Nick Kiger before, I'm new to all of this. I've been reading many blogs about religious studies, and have found them all quite wonderful, so I thought I'd give this a shot myself. So I'm asking for advice from you experienced bloggers in the world of religious studies. How do I make this a worthwhile hobby? I'd like very much to add to these conversations that I so much love to read. I'd like to thank blogs such as Deinde and NT Gateway for all of the good reading. That's all for now. Bring on the advice!
