Links of Greatness - September 7, 2008

Here are some various tidbits, links to things worth looking at new and old.

Carnies!

• Patristics Carnival 15 is up now over at Hyperekperisou!. And thanks for the mention, Phil.

Education

• Some thoughts from DeConick on teaching Christian Origins, phd studies, etc..

Greek

• The Greek Lexicon Project. What I found particularly interesting today was the bit on the "slips". Thanks to Atticus Cox of the Classics-L list for pointing this out.
• An interesting bit on Robertson’s Grammar.
• Koine Greek Vocabulary BYKI Cards. Glad to see this for sure! Thanks to Bryant Williams on the B-Greek List for the group heads up.
• The Loeb author timeline. Not exhaustive but useful. Thanks to J.L. Speranza on the Classics-L list for the link.

Humor and Entertaining Things

• Great card!
• Brilliant Web Video? Certainly not the best, but impressive work nonetheless.
• Pirates and Emperors. Unfortunately there is some truth to this. Thanks Edward.

Books

• The Shape of the Book. Looks interesting. You can get it at a good price from Amazon.
• The Text of the Gospels in Clement of Alexandria. This was announced on a number of blogs. It is only available for pre-order at the moment, but Amazon has it for around $40 at the moment.

Textual Criticism

• Klaus Wachtal’s online geneological query program. Looks very interesting.

Modern Foreign Language Study

• Journal en français facile. According to my brother, this is a great way to get some easy French. Apparently suitable once you’ve been through a first-year French course. Included is both a transcript and audio (Click on the link that says "Journal en français facile" on the left nav for the audio).
• Champs-Elysées. Also from my brother. Audio magazines in French, Spanish, Italian, and German. Says he has got quite a bit out of it for his French studies.

New Testament Studies

• Provenance of Colossians. Interesting.

Miscellany

• Proof there is a God.
• Maitre d’s, Managers, and Maniacs. And I quote: "Diarrhea of the mouth is a sure sign of constipation of thought.". Love it.
• The Israelis Are On To Something Here. I think this sentiment deserves more comment down the road, but I am partially in agreement.
