Biblical Studies Carnival #221 for October 2024

Veteran BiblioBlogger Jim West hosts Biblical Studies Carnival #221 for October 2024. Since Jim’s blog is “all Reformation all the time,” it is no surprise that he has quite a few Reformation posts in his Carnival. Jim says he decided that the Carnivals he hosts should reach beyond just the blogs and draw the best posts from “wheresoever they are found.” This includes substacks (which are blogs) and podcasts (which are talking blogs). he includes some grant information, which may interest some.  I don’t think I saw any TikTok posts. Maybe we should all encourage Jim to become a lifestyle influencer on TokTok. I think he could pull that off.

If you made it to the end of his post, Jim observes, “Next Month’s should be pretty fun if it’s done right because it will cover SBL.” It will be good because I am hosting it, but yes…November is prime time for Biblical and Theological Studies on the internet. If you post a copy of your paper to Academia.edu or Humanities Commons, or your blog, let me know, and I will include it for those who could not attend SBL/AAR in person.

As always, I am looking for volunteers for the Biblical Studies Carnival starting in December 2024. Check out Jim’s Carnival or mine from this summer to get an idea of what people include in the Biblical Studies Carnival. But every Carnival is different, so you can feel free to include more theology, church history, archaeology, or whatever biblically-related discipline interests you. I would love to have a host who knows more podcasts to focus on that aspect of biblical studies on the internet.

And remember, November 1 only means Christmas is coming….far too soon.
