Jim West at Biblical Theology has a post with information on the upcoming CARG session on Biblioblogging at the SBL annual meeting. Mark Goodacre of the NT Gateway Weblog has a follow-up post titled Bibliobloggers @ CARG.

Mark mentions that I'm scheduled to present a paper to the CARG on the subject. I'm pretty excited to be presenting. My history with the SBL is short — my first SBL meeting was the 2004 San Antonio meeting. Logos brought me along to help answer questions about projects we were (and are) working on, and encouraged me to go to as many sessions as I could squeeze in. It was a blast. Since then, others encouraged me to submit a few paper proposals. And here I am today.

As Mark notes, my paper will focus on PastoralEpistles.com, the blog/site where I keep information (some blog, some bibliographical, some other) on the Pastoral Epistles. While I know that PastoralEpistles.com doesn't do everything right (it's basically a prototype I slapped together over a few weekends; more work planned over the summer), I think it illustrates some interesting things that can be done via the blogging medium, particularly in the realm of compiling topic-specific annotated bibliographies.

Admittedly, my presentation will probably be a bit more technical (but not too technical) than "scholarly". But I'm very pleased to have had my presentation accepted, and I'm quite thrilled to see the list of folks on the panel presentation* and realize that I'm on the panel along with them. It should be a fun session.

Update (2005-05-18): Jim Davila of PaleoJudaica provides an abstract to his CARG paper on Biblioblogging. Mark Goodacre posted a copy of my submitted abstract (second indented paragraph) earlier today.
