Several others have mentioned this, but it bears mentioning. The Call for Submissions to the next Biblical Studies Carnival has been made by Tyler Williams of Codex Blogspot.

For the uninitiated, the idea of a 'Carnival' style post is to grab a bunch of good/quality/representative/whatever posts for a given time frame (usually a month or bi-weekly) and post links and a short narrative describing them. It is a pretty neat way to highlight good posts and — for bloggers — to do a little shameless self promotion (one of the secrets to any successful blog!).

So please check out Tyler's post, and please take a few minutes to nominate a few of the better posts you've read recently. It just takes sending an email to the carnival address. And, of course, feel free to nominate anything I've written recently. (See how easy shameless self promotion is? Go ahead, try it yourself!)

Any other children of the 80's out there have an insatiable urge to call it "Biblical Studies Carnival II: Electric Boogaloo"?

Update (2006-01-24): It's official. ricoblog will be hosting Biblical Studies Carnival III. So after you're done feeding Tyler all of your awesome-wicked-cool Biblical Studies blog permalinks (you can even use a groovy submission form!) keep an eye out in February for cool stuff to send my way for the March carnival. FWIW, the list of forthcoming carnival hosts is up at the Biblical Studies Carnival page. [Blogging newbies note: This is an excellent opportunity for more shameless self promotion! See, you get a link out of the deal from the carnival page (which Tyler has done an excellent job setting up); and even better you'll get a bunch of links and traffic when the carnival you host runs, introducing all sorts of folks to your corner of biblical-studies-blogdom. All for the price of a little blog-trawling (which you're likely doing anyway) and some clever prose to wrap it all up in one post. How cool is that?]
