This blog will be a mix of news, events, book reviews and anything relating to biblical studies in general. There will be a range of contributors, including students, associated with the Department of Biblical Studies at Sheffield. There may even be a bit of engagement with theology, and by that I might mean a little more than my own discussion of a certain theology in the form of Red Toryism.<\/p>\n
In addition to the expected usual range of biblical studies topics, there will also be discussion relating to the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible (2011). Sheffield Biblical Studies will be doing several things for this anniversary and there will be more on that in due course. For further information see the links on the side bar, including the Sheffield KJV project being on Twitter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Although it will have multiple contributors, we\u2019re already hearing the voice of one of them addressing us in the first person. Any guesses as to whose voice it might be? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
