		<title>Where is Hippolytus&#8217; Commentary on the Song of Songs?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The very earliest Christian commentary on the Song is that of Hippolytus. Unfortunately, the text of this commentary is only extant in fragments. Despite this fact, Hippolytus’ work remains of great import to the history of Christian interpretation of the Song. Great, but where is it? Because of its fragmentary nature, no one seems to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogroll Modifications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m retiring my link to A Lutheran Beggar, since the most recent post is almost 2 years old. I&#8217;m changing the American Papist link to go directly to the proper blog feed. I&#8217;m updating Ben Witherington&#8217;s blog to its new location. I&#8217;m retiring the Historical Christian link and replacing it with a link to Aimee [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few Books I Bought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d tell you about a few books I just bought. 1. The Art of Biblical Narrative by Robert Alter. This is a bit of a classic. I&#8217;ve wanted to read it for a long time, but never got the chance. Alter is a literary critic, but this little book made a big impression [...]]]></description>

		<title>Metzger&#8217;s Textual Commentary &#8211; Which edition to buy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just had an interesting book purchasing experience. I wanted to buy the famous Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament by Bruce Metzger. But when it came time to make my purchase, I could not figure out which edition to buy. There seem to be three different editions, but now I think there are [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Amazon Kindle Lending Library</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons I have eschewed the Kindle from Amazon is that you can&#8217;t use the device to check out ebooks from your local library. Many public lending libraries now lend ebooks. They can be read on PC&#8217;s, Android devices and things like the Sony eReader. But they have never worked on an Amazon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Catholic Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today it is hard to find good Catholic music at mass. Many parishes have few, if any, well-qualified and committed musicians. The musicians they do have are often over-worked and underpaid (with 3 or 4 weekend masses, plus weddings and funerals). And then the musical selections they have to work with, well, lack quality, diversity [...]]]></description>

		<title>The King Can Marry a Catholic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, the British have lifted the ban on persons in line for the throne marrying Catholics See the story at the BBC: The ban on the monarch being married to a Roman Catholic was also lifted. Hooray for religious freedom! However, the monarch himself can&#8217;t be Catholic. I suppose that&#8217;s a symptom of being head [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon Kindle Fire (but I&#8217;m still waiting)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazon just released their new Kindle Fire tablet&#8230;sort of. You can pre-order one, but it won&#8217;t arrive until after November 15. I, however, will pass on the neat device and wait until Amazon produces a full color E Ink touch screen Kindle, hopefully with a keyboard. I told you before how the E ink company [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Dead Sea Scrolls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, Google has finished digitizing the Dead Sea Scrolls. The DSS have been annoying difficult to get images of for years. There&#8217;s a microfiche edition, which is a pain to use and there is a CD-ROM version some libraries have, but it focuses mainly on the non-biblical texts. The best images of the scrolls are [...]]]></description>

		<title>A House of Wine in the Song of Songs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading the Hebrew of the Song of Songs and notice ??? ???? (the beit hayyayin) in Song 2:4. I thought, &#8220;Wait a second! I didn&#8217;t remember a &#8216;House of Wine&#8217; in the Song.&#8221; So, I took a look at the English translations and most of them are lousy. Most of them have things [...]]]></description>
