Just a few days earlier he wrote about The Open Access Monograph Series That Almost Was and dropped frustrating hints about a newer and better project. So, before he (or someone else) announces that project, I'll reiterate a call for contributors. Any established scholar who wants to write a commentary on a biblical book, and who is interested in getting your work seen and used more widely than print can achieve, take a look at the Hypertext Bible Commentary project, and then contact me for more details.

The review of biblical studies on the web is pretty basic, highlighting only four resources, one relating to NT, one to OT/HB, one to the DSS, and the ancient world. These are all great resources, though there are so many other excellent resources available on the Internet for biblical studies that I can’t help be a bit disappointed with the brevity of the list.Sight unseen, and assuming the writer had more than a few hundred words to spare, I'd use stronger language! It is true each of these sites is really good. Chris Heard and Mark Goodacre point to most of the other really good material between them. KC Hanson has a lot of good material, and the Orion site is a good one on a popular topic. And yet... to describe these four sites as a review of "biblical studies on the web" makes "pretty basic" into a new epitome of litotes!
