I don’t know which blog(s) I’ve seen this on or it might have been Theologica but the Codex Sinaiticus is online. You have to love how technology makes things accessible to everyone. This might not help me much now since my greek is awful and approaching that of an infant but this is very nice.
Do me a favor, go to this link and add yourself to the competition. In so doing, I get an extra submission my way and you get a chance to win as well. Of course, this will do nothing for you if you’re not particularly into theological books but that’s okay. You can send me a book as a “thank you” for kicking you to the competition.

Christian Carnival is currently up at Jeremy’s.
In case you’re not familiar with the Christian Carnival, it’s a weekly collection of blog posts written by Christians from a Christian perspective (including Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christianity). For more information, you can look at the instructions for participation in the Christian Carnival, the list of previous Christian Carnivals (although it hasn’t been update in a while), and the most recent list of scheduled hosts for future weeks. -Jeremy
I’m way too unmotivated to be jealous of the fame of other bloggers yet I find myself turning a dark eye in the direction of Tim Challies.
Early in 2002 The Bible Archive launched. Since I didn’t start full-swing posting until sometime later that year (perhaps even early the next) and really didn’t define the site as a blog until late 2003/early 2004 I was relegated to a third-tier blog (of course, this is what I tell myself).
Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don’t judge on what you see,
I’ll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I’m the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There’s nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can’t see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you’ve a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You’ll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don’t be afraid!
And don’t get in a flap!
You’re in safe hands (though I have none)
For I’m a Thinking Cap!
