The Biblical Studies Carnival has returned under the leadership of Tyler Williams (whose expertise is in Hebrew Bible) and will commence its monthly issues on February 1. Tyler now has a call for submissions for the February edition. He clarifies that the carnival will focus on historical or academic approaches (rather than devotional) to biblical studies and cognate areas. He also explains what a blog carnival is, in the event that you are unfamiliar with this. This will be working on the model of things like the History Carnival, which I find enjoyable and often mention.

In case you hadn’t noticed, David Meadows has an ambitious daily Classicarnival linking to the most recent posts relating to Greek and Roman topics. How does he keep up with it all?
