The blogosphere<\/a> is still<\/a> recovering<\/a> from Blogger\u2019s outage<\/a>. Posts that had been deleted seem to be being restored. Here are some interesting things from around the blogs that are still there for your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n

Marc Cortez shares the nine steps of commenting on the internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan McClellan<\/a> mentions a book on religion and the X-Files that sounds interesting:\u00a0We Want to Believe: Faith and Gospel in the X-Files<\/i><\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Jim Davila<\/a> mentions a news piece on the lead plates<\/a>, which ignores all the skepticism and cautionary remarks expressed by scholars. Hopefully that\u2019s not what Marvin Meyer was alluding to in a recent interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Larry Hurtado<\/a> and Helen Bond<\/a> are among those who drew<\/a> attention<\/a> to a New Testament position at the University of Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a beautiful city and I expect whoever gets the job to be very happy there.<\/p>\n

Hurtado also posted on the Secret Gospel of Mark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nathan Macdonald mentions a publication discussing the so-called curse of monotheism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RJS has his second post in the series Being Human at Jesus Creed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steve Wiggins<\/a> posted a satirical curriculum of Biblical science, which got reactions from Scott<\/a> and Joel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At BioLogos, the (ancient Mesopotamian) plain sense of the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bart Ehrman\u2019s book Forged<\/a>\"\"<\/i> gets some discussion on the CNN Religion Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blogs and bloggers mentioning Harold Camping\u2019s (latest) prediction of the Rapture include John Byron<\/a>, Joel Watts<\/a>, John Pieret<\/a>,\u00a0Jason Boyett<\/a>, Unreasonable Faith<\/a> and\u00a0IO9<\/a>. Atheists<\/a> are offering to help pick up the pieces after the predicted apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Inside Higher Ed<\/a><\/i> has an article on eBooks and iPads, which concludes that new media and devices have matched coffee in terms of importance among students, although they have yet to catch up with beer.<\/p>\n

John Loftus mentioned my series blogging through Earl Doherty\u2019s book<\/a>.<\/p>\n
