- First—before you do anything else—do yourself a favor and listen to Jon Felton and His Soulmobile performing a live set on Aux Send. Jon is a friend of mine, and his band's unique anarcho-Christian folk vibe is unparalleled. Listen to it, and maybe support the band by purchasing one of their awesome albums.
- Drewe over at Delving Into The Scriptures hosted the Biblical Studies Carnival for the month of February. If you've got some time on your hands, check out all the neat posts he has collected.
- Check out ASOR's Weekly Archaeology Roundup for this week. Some interesting stories for the history buff.
- Lawrence Schiffmann briefly explains some elements of Qumran Sabbath law.
- Ethics Daily has had a few good articles this week. Jenny Flannagan offers Four Ways to Eat More Ethically Now, and Brock Ratcliff questions the agenda behind the new History Channel miniseries, The Bible.
- K.C. Hanson offers a list of 10 books in New Testament studies that influenced him personally.
- Micah Murray cautions against "thinking biblically."
- Kendall Beachey reflected on the Cosmic Cathedral blog this week about the ethics of WWJD and reading John Howard Yoder's The Politics of Jesus.
- Anthony Le Donne over at the Jesus Blog questions the sources behind Orson Pratt's justification of Mormon polygamy in 1853 by claiming that Jesus was a polygamist (that is, Pratt claimed Jesus was a polygamist, not Le Donne). See also Le Donne's follow-up post, "Jesus the Polygamist: Part II."
- Finally, for the philosophers out there, check out Paul Horwich's opinion piece for the New York Times, "Was Wittgenstein Right?" Horwich wonders whether Ludwig Wittgenstein's assessment of the discipline of philosophy as useless and self-contradictory was in fact correct.
