Seleção dos melhores posts de março de 2008.

Feita, com muito bom humor, por Chris Weimer, no biblioblog Thoughts on Antiquity.

Brandon Wason, em Biblioblogs.com, entrevista o britânico Doug Chaplin, do biblioblog MetaCatholic, escolhido como o biblioblogueiro do mês de abril de 2008.

Doug Chaplin: an Anglican parish priest, with a particular academic interest in New Testament study, especially Paul (Wright, Sanders, Dunn).

Como sabemos, Torrey Seland encerrou seus blogs. O que foi publicado em Philo of Alexandria permanecerá disponível no mesmo endereço, pois há ali muitas informações de interesse.

A intenção de Torrey Seland é atualizar suas conhecidas e famosas páginas de links para estudos bíblicos, as Resource Pages for Biblical Studies. E este R P B S Blog – Resource Pages for Biblical Studies Blog – será o canal informativo sobre a atualização e manutenção de suas preciosas páginas.

Visite este blog e fique informado.

Ele diz no About do novo blog:
Welcome to this ‘blog’. Well, it will probably not be so much a blog in the general sense, as more an info space related to my Resource Pages for Biblical Studies, and as such a space where I can announce updates and other info related to my Resource Pages. And even post occasionally about Philo and other biblical topics…. If you will stay updated about what happens to the Resource Pages for Biblical Studies, please subscribe to this blog.

Hoje Torrey Seland anunciou que está encerrando as atividades de seu blog sobre Fílon, o raro e bem-feito Philo of Alexandria Blog.

Ele diz no post The End:
I have finally made up my mind; this blog has come to its end (…) I have simply come to realize that I don’t have enough spare time to be a blogger on Philo anymore. I will continue to read and write about Philo, but no more blogging here.

É uma pena.

Se você usa o WordPress, o plugin Broken Link Checker, por ManageWP, é o que recomendo. Mas há também extensões para os navegadores ou ferramentas online que fazem a verificação dos links.

Descrição na página do plugin Broken Link Checker:

This plugin will monitor your blog looking for broken links and let you know if any are found.

Once installed, the plugin will begin parsing your posts, bookmarks (AKA blogroll) and other content and looking for links. Depending on the size of your site this can take from a few minutes up to an hour or more. When parsing is complete, the plugin will start checking each link to see if it works. Again, how long this takes depends on how big your site is and how many links there are. You can monitor the progress and tweak various link checking options in Settings -> Link Checker.

The broken links, if any are found, will show up in a new tab of the WP admin panel – Tools -> Broken Links. A notification will also appear in the “Broken Link Checker” widget on the Dashboard. To save display space, you can keep the widget closed and configure it to expand automatically when problematic links are detected. E-mail notifications need to be enabled separately (in Settings -> Link Checker).

The “Broken Links” tab will by default display a list of broken links that have been detected so far. However, you can use the links on that page to view redirects or see a listing of all links – working or not – instead. You can also create new link filters by performing a search and clicking the “Create Custom Filter” button. For example, this can be used to create a filter that only shows comment links.

There are several actions associated with each link. They show up when you move your mouse over to one of the links listed the aforementioned tab –

• “Edit URL” lets you change the URL of that link. If the link is present in more than one place (e.g. both in a post and in the blogroll), all occurrences of that URL will be changed.
• “Unlink” removes the link but leaves the link text intact.
• “Not broken” lets you manually mark a “broken” link as working. This is useful if you know it was incorrectly detected as broken due to a network glitch or a bug. The marked link will still be checked periodically, but the plugin won’t consider it broken unless it gets a new result.
• “Dismiss” hides the link from the “Broken Links” and “Redirects” views. It will still be checked as normal and get the normal link styles (e.g. a strike-through effect for broken links), but won’t be reported again unless its status changes. Useful if you want to acknowledge a link as broken/redirected and just leave as it is.

You can also click on the contents of the “Status” or “Link Text” columns to get more info about the status of each link.

Feita por Kevin Wilson, em seu biblioblog Blue Cord.

Em Biblioblogs.com o entrevistado, como “biblioblogueiro” do mês de março de 2008, é Ben Myers, autor do blog de Teologia Faith and Theology.

Ele diz: “Although my main focus is on dogmatic theology, I’m very interested in the relation between theology and exegesis… And on my blog there are occasional skirmishes into biblical studies“.

Jim West, o mais popular e o mais polêmico biblioblogueiro, teve seu blog hackeado e completamente apagado. Episódio que todos nós lamentamos. Além de covarde, este é um ato criminoso.

Soube agora do trágico feito. Estou lendo a reação dos biblioblogers, e todos se sentem igualmente atingidos por esta insanidade. A perda, Jim, não é apenas sua, é de todos nós. A minha palavra para você é de solidariedade e de encorajamento: busque seus backups, retome seus posts, ponha tudo para funcionar novamente.

Esta será sua melhor resposta.

Nas Tendências (Trends) do meu Blogroll do Google Reader, Jim aparece em primeiro lugar, com a média de 7,4 posts/dia.

Mas parece que Jim está decidido a “jogar a toalha”… Uma pena!

Por que alguém tão combativo desiste assim?

Mas é o que ele diz. Veja em suas próprias palavras:
From Jim West – Chrisendom

Este é o tema do capítulo 2 da Parte I do livro de CROSSLEY, J. G. Jesus in an Age of Terror: New Testament Projects for a New American Century. London: Equinox Publishing, 2009, 256 p. – ISBN 9781845534295 (Hardback) 9781845534301 (Paperback), do qual falei no outro post.

Part One will look at the ways in which New Testament and Christian origins scholarship has historically been influenced by its political and social settings over the past hundred years or so. Moving on to the present, the following chapter will then apply [Edward] Herman and [Noam] Chomsky’s propaganda model of manufacturing consent in the mass media to the recent explosion of biblical scholars writing on the internet, in particularly ‘biblio-bloggers’. It is clear that political views in ‘biblio-blogging’ conform strikingly to the emphases that come through in Herman and Chomsky’s analysis of the mass media and intellectuals, particularly with the standard lines on the ‘war on terror’ and views on the contemporary Middle East [sublinhado meu].
