A recently discovered blog: Singing in the Reign has some interesting features. Notably a section on historical Jesus methodology. It's run by a Catholic scholar, Michael Barber who is doing his PhD at Fuller Seminary. It sporadically deals with topics those in the NT guild will find interesting and important. He even has the audacity to claim that "the most glaring [mistake of Wright] is the redefinition of exile in terms of Roman oppression." I wonder if he's read Evans article on this? Because otherwise, he's got a lot of explaining to do.
Mike Bird's essay on Post New Perspective Perspective is available at the CTR. Just scroll down to find the section on the NPP. The Bird also finally sees the light on Paul and Rhetorical criticism.
Eddie has a new blog spot where he responds to my questioning Hurtado's notion of "experience" as the impetus for early devotion to Jesus. I still wish Hurtado would quantify what he means by that. Or maybe I just need to keep reading until he does...Witherington smacks The Da Vinci Code in one swift blog. The movie is apparently not as good as the novel, nor as provocative.

I'd like to know more about this. I admit, Wright's "grand narrative" is very compelling. But is it really defensible to claim that the Israelites still considered themselves to be in exile after they had resettled in Judea?
Do you have a link to the Evans article you mention? I'd like to read it.
I stumbled across your blog (don't even remeber how now!) and lo and behold here I already was. Thanks for the plug and for the great site.
Derek
