It looks like things are slowing down, and I'll be able to start posting again.  I know that excites the two or three of you that check in here.

Here are some items that I would have blogged about if I had been blogging:  

New Hebrew Bible in the Works
The Oxford Hebrew Bible " . . . will be a new critical edition of the Hebrew Bible featuring a critical text, apparatus, and text-critical introduction and commentary."   Hugh Williamson comments on it (and gives a good background to the present situation) here.

Codex Sinaiticus
As was announced by multiple news agencies, the complete Codex Sinaiticus is now online.  Daniel Wallace provides good bit of information about Sinaiticus and the unfortunate mis-information that has surrounded the launch of the site.

Cool Opportunity To Help With Greek NT MSS
Check this out .  If you have the skills, this would really be a cool and serving way of moving MSS studies forward.

Mark Goodacre's NT Pod
Mark currently has 3 really good (and brief) podcast entries on his New Testament podcast.  I really recommend "Paul the Letter Speaker ".

Mount Zion Excavations
James Tabor provides some very exciting bits of news concerning  "spectacular finds" from the recent excavations on Mt. Zion.  He writes the following concerning one of the finds:

A stone vessel with an ancient inscription of ten lines written in an archaic Jewish script. Such stone vessels were used in connection with maintaining ritual purity related to Temple worship, and they are found in abundance in areas where the priests lived. We have found a dozen or more on our site over the past three years. However, to have ten lines of text is unprecedented. One normally might find a single name inscribed, or a line or two, but this is the first text of this length ever found on such a vessel. We have shared high-resolution photos with various epigraphic experts in Jerusalem who are working together to try and decipher this text. It is written in a very informal cursive hand and is quite difficult to read.

That's about it for now.
