There are two articles in Biblical Archaeology Review about Israelite origins by Anson Rainey<\/a>: \u201cInside, Outside: Where Did the Early Israelites Come From?<\/a>\u201d and \u201cShasu or Habiru: Who Were the Early Israelites?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the Israelites, according to the Bible, are supposed to have spent time in Egypt, it is appropriate to be able to point to a number of posts about Egypt, too. Ferrell Jenkins has a post on temples along the Nile<\/a>. Sepher Ha-Bloggadah is up to the first plague<\/a>. Toothface has an amusing cartoon <\/a>that features Egypt. Claude Mariottini has a post on the tenth commandment <\/a>(supposed to have been picked up on the way from Egypt). And Irenic Thoughts has a thought from a fourth-century Christian in Egypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also interesting science news. New Scientist<\/em> has a piece on creationists moving their battle to the brain<\/a>. Jesus Creed has an entry on evolution and fundamentalism<\/a>. Nina Munteanu has a post on artificial intelligence<\/a>. Greenflame is seeking recommendations of movies about religion, science and technology<\/a>. Chet Raymo muses about mysticism<\/a>. John Pieret blogs about brain drain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, Bob MacDonald has a round up of recent blogging about resurrection<\/a>.<\/p>\n
