The Carnival is Coming

Not the kind of Carnival Zwingli excoriates in his discussion of the Papal Keys (and the Papst-Esel) as follows-

Hence a carnival of every kind of crime so unrestrained and so widespread that no tongue, no pen, can describe what a quantity of evils of every kind have been let out by these Keys.

This carnival isn’t a collection of every kind of crime so widespread and unrestrained that no tongue, no pen, can describe what a quantity of evils it is. Nay, it’s the much admire Biblical Studies Carnival of the Biblioblogs. If you have suggestions, time is about up.

How To Have A Blog People Will Read

It’s really amazingly simple.

1-Be witty.
2-Be humorous.
3- Be relevant.
4- Be scripturally engaged.
5- Be theologically astute.

Daily. And if for some reason you don’t post for a day or two they will actually notice,and care!

If you want  to know more about the book, go check out his blog post at Talbot’s blog. … Read More
