Many thanks for the advertising! I have had many visit my blog, but still few are commenting. I think I have some thoughtful, contentious posts (i.e., biblical methodologies, the tenth century debate), as well as a few other posts. I hope you, and others, will take the time to peek at my blog and to comment . . . and pass the word. I have enjoyed blogging and interacting with others so far, and I hope it continues. I look forward to all your thoughts and comments!
All the best!
