David Stark has some insights.
He is hopeful about the future of biblical blogging. So am I. The wind is in the sails of those who blog
about the Bible at the intersection of the academy and existential concerns.

David Stark's thoughts and insights are very good. The problem is that Biblical blogging invites comments by *anyone*, including people who have no respect for or qualifications in the subject. Oftentimes the blogs are read by people who don't believe the Bible at all, and who post comments that are totally at odds with the intention of the blog owner. They are often just unwanted noise and can be a real pain to a blog owner. But in the Biblical blog world, you receive both both helpful and unwanted comments. Bitter water and sweet.
