I know the idea is not new, but I\u2019ve still been thinking what a great thing a blogmentary (does anyone have a better name for a blogged commentary?) can be. On the one hand, when (if) it is done, I can post a table of contents linking to the various pages in order. On the other hand, I can blog about specific passages when I have time and strong interest to do so. Perhaps what seems most interesting is that readers can not only use it as a commentary, and leave comments on the commentary, but can see how my writing on a particular passage relates to other things I was thinking (and thus blogging) about at that time.<\/p>\n

So it may be a while in coming, and it will be a long time until it is finished, but I do hope to pursue a blogmentary on Romans, and perhaps other books of the Bible as well. I will be teaching a course on Paul\u2019s letters next semester, and so this will be a nice way both to gear up for that and to reflect on it while the course is taking place.<\/p>\n
