This one is a goodie – all on Marxism and biblical interpretation. This will be the last issue of the Bible and Critical Theory at this site, since we are moving to the University of Newcastle’s server with the new year.
Settle down in the evenings of the northern winter, or take it to the beach if you are on the sunny southern side of the globe. Either way, enjoy the read!

This is off-topic but we have just had a demo in Lewisham to stop the closure of the acident and emergency department of the local hospital ( part of the government’s campaign of cuts to public services in the UK).
We has a minimum of 8,100 people on the demo (a police estimate). The total population of Lewisham is 284,000.
More significantly for followers of this blog, I spotted at 4 sky pilots in dogcollars. The Bishop of Woolwich himself was in attendance.
Pity about the rain.

Good stuff, George. I just figured out the meaning of ‘sky pilot’ – brilliant.

That reviewer really did not like my co-edited volume!

Anthony, it was great to see you at the AAR/SBL book stand.
On the long review: as the ‘quare on the square’ (Oscar Wilde) once said: any publicity is good publicity. The worst thing is for a work to be ignored, and this one certainly won’t be. Of course, a good review is nicer … As you well know, most people can take the reviewer’s perspective in their stride when assessing a review and realise that a good debate is to be had.

Yes, shame we didn’t have more time. As for the review, it doesn’t bother me! We’ve had mostly positive ones and Eric’s criticisms at least made me chuckle. He did a nice job of extensive quoting allowing elements of the volume to speak for itself while also putting forth his criticisms. I agree as well that Dan B’s article is simply incredible, even if I don’t much appreciate being likened to Mark C. Taylor.

You and Mark C. – what an insult!
