As it was a busy last semester, this site did not receive any updates. The busyness is over now and, as a result, I will have more time for blogging. The goal for posting is to see about 8-10 thoughtful posts a month. At this present time, it is doubtful that there is much traffic here. This will change if the quality and quantity of posting increases. The expectation about content is high. This content will consist of posts, differing in length, which are articulate, thoughtful and critical (understood as κρίνω – making a decision, thinking carefully upon something). The style of post to expect include brief biblical commentary, book reviews, and social critique. Off-topic discussions may also appear periodically. Comments and dialogue are encouraged, providing the are in step with the expectation of this site. If you agree and wish to say that, do. On the other hand, if you disagree and wish to say that, do. In either care be respectful as the site will also be. That being said, anyone who has read academic literature will be aware of the prevalence and importance of rhetoric. Which means, we all need to ensure ours does not cross the line. At the same time, we need to be aware that personal attack does not (necessarily) follow from strong rhetoric.
We ask you, and expect ourselves, to maintain an appropriate ethic of Christian blogging. We do not have to agree but we can all be image-bearers. As image-bearers we all have names and, thus, anonymous comments are discouraged. Put your name on what you say or it might be deleted.
Thanks,
Christmas Eve, 2009
