Here are a few things from around the blogosphere, including a couple that would be easy to miss.<\/p>\n

First, Andr\u00e9 Gagn\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0has a blog, which those interested in the Nag Hammadi codices and other aspects of ancient religion will want to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

Next, The Ancient Bookshelf is another blog to keep an eye on. The most recent post is about the good scribe<\/a> as antidote to anti-Jewish readings of the Gospels. But there are also posts on topics such as translating Star Wars into Ge\u2019ez<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Hacking Christianity<\/a> asks if we are in the Matrix.<\/p>\n

Apollon eJournal<\/a> is a journal where undergraduates can publish in all areas of the humanities, including religion.<\/p>\n

Bryan Bibb<\/a> blogged about conservative Evangelical rejection of the (new) NIV.<\/p>\n

Morgan Guyton<\/a>\u00a0shared a guest post by Jason Micheli, about the contrast between Christians who won\u2019t make cakes for lesbians, and Jesus who attended a wedding and ate with sinners.<\/p>\n

And finally, Chaplain Mike<\/a> commented on the sign below, saying (among other things) \u201cWhatever this \u201cChristian\u201d thing is about, it is about earth. It is about life on earth. It is about life with God on earth\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
