Blogs

The biblical studies blogosphere was a bit vacuous this week. The biggest news is that Larry Hurtado posted a summary of the articles in the latest NTS arguing that the Jesus’ wife fragment is a forgery. It seems that there is now a consensus on the matter, unless serious rebuttals be given.

We posted our first Keep Your Greek post on which Greek Bible is best to help you.. well, keep your Greek. We also posted reviews of BibleWorks 10, part 1 on interface and design, and part 2 on new functions. Look for more coming up.
