Today various blogs I read converged around the topic of scholarship \u2013\u00a0what it is and how it is done.<\/p>\n

Jesus Creed discussed scholarly consensus and critical thinking<\/a>, and explained why scholarship is not determined by a show of hands\u00a0or popular opinion.\u00a0That post was inspired by one at BioLogos by Karl Giberson with the memorable title \u201cWould You Like Fries With That Theory?\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n

This also\u00a0relates to this comic<\/a> shared yesterday at Bad Astronomy<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Frazz\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Evangelical Textual Criticism distilled a list of the top journals in New Testament<\/a> by working with three sets of rankings: the Australian Research Council<\/a>, the European Science Foundation<\/a>, and Joseph Fitzmyer\u2019s An Introductory Bibliography for the Study of Scripture<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Also related is Eric Reitan\u2019s post<\/a> about authorial voice and the relationship between academic argument, personality and mode of expression. And there\u2019s an interview with Gretta Vosper<\/a> in which subjects such as\u00a0the academic study of the Bible, faith and practice are to the fore.<\/p>\n
