Does it deserve a long and loud fan-fare on a blog devoted to evangelical textual criticism?<br /><br />Does this journal, reminiscent of the dead bones in Ezekiel, need all the encouragement we can give?<br /><br />Above all, do we need something to be happy about in this dark, cold, and particularly in Britain, snowy time?<br /><br />And, by the way, some excitement and PR does not hurt. This blog, by the way, has not had so many visitors for a long time, as we had today at launch time; probably not since our coverage of the olympic racewalking in Beijing.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-90736179481150162172010-12-22T19:40:30.755+00:002010-12-22T19:40:30.755+00:00"TC. . . is a peer-reviewed electronic journa..."TC. . . is a peer-reviewed electronic journal dedicated to the study of the Jewish and Christian biblical texts."<br /><br />I'm trying to read some meaning into this distinction between Jewish biblical texts and Christian biblical texts.<br /><br />Jewish biblical texts, I suppose, would include <i>b'rishit</i> through <i>davari ha yamim B</i>. Christian biblical texts, then, would run from <i>KATA MATQAION </i> through <i>APOKALUYIS IWANNOU</i>. But what do we do with <i>ESDRAS A</i> through <i>PROSEUCH MANASSH</i>--are they Jewish or Christian?<br /><br />If we define "biblical" as, at the most, encompassing the Jewish (Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed) and Christian (Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox) canons, the phrase appears to be a tautology, as all of the Jewish canon is contained within the Christian canon.<br /><br />It would appear that what this phrase refers to are the Hebrew and Aramaic texts of the Jewish canon, on the one hand, and the Greek texts of the Protestant canon, on the other. For, if we aren't to limit the Christian texts just to the Greek language, why limit them to any language? There are Christian biblical texts in Swahili and Zapotec--and even English.Daniel Bucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-7668468956641379852010-12-22T17:37:46.861+00:002010-12-22T17:37:46.861+00:00Great, of course ... but does this really warrant ...Great, of course ... but does this really warrant all the fan-fare?
