It has been good to see interest in the book\u2019s subject matter staying alive in the blogosphere. April DeConick recently turned her blog\u2019s attention to the angel of the divine name<\/a>. Jared Calaway blogged about God as the God of the Gods<\/a> (and who the gods are of whom god is the god). Nick Norelli has reviewed books by Richard Bauckham<\/a> and Larry Hurtado<\/a> on monotheism and Christology. Christology and the Gospels came in as number 6 on Michael Bird\u2019s list of the next big things in New Testament studies<\/a>, although I will be honest, I find Simon Gathercole\u2019s arguments for a \u201chigh\u201d Christology in the Synoptics underwhelming. Mike Koke discussed monotheism and Christology in the context of the \u201cparting of the ways\u201d<\/a>. Bryan Bibb blogged about teaching the Shema in Hebrew<\/a>.<\/p>\n
