The Biblical Studies Blog Carnival for April will be hosted here on the Blue Cord. This post is the call for submissions to the carnival.

To quote from Tyler F. Williams, the grand poobah of the Biblical Studies Blog Carnival:

The goal of the Biblical Studies Carnival is to showcase the best of weblog posts in the area of academic biblical studies. By “academic biblical studies” we mean:

  • Academic: Posts must represent an academic approach to the discipline of biblical studies rather than, for instance, a devotional approach. This does not mean that posts have to be written by an academic, PhD, or professor — amateurs are more than welcome! Nor does it mean that posts must take a historical critical approach — methodological variety is also encouraged.
  • Biblical Studies: Broadly focused on discipline of biblical studies and cognate disciplines, including Ancient Near East, Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Christian Origins/New Testament, Intertestamental/Second Temple literature (e.g., LXX, Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, etc.), Patristics, Biblical Criticisms and Hermeneutics, Biblical Studies and popular culture, among other things.

I encourage you to submit your nominations from April. You may do so either by going to the Blog Carnival home page and using their form or by e-mailing the following information to blogcarnival@bluecord.org:

  • The title and permalink URL of the blog post you wish to nominate and the author’s name or pseudonym.
  • A short (two or three sentence) summary of the blog post.
  • The title and URL of the blog on which it appears (please note if it is a group blog).
  • Include “Biblical Studies Carnival V” in the subject line of your email.
  • Your own name and email address.

Please note that you may nominate your own posts or those of another blogger. You do not have to be a biblioblogger to submit a post. Those who read the blogs are also encouraged to submit nominations.

Biblical Studies Blog Carnival V will be posted the first week of May.
