Superb August round-up of activity in the Biblio-blogging world courtesy of our very own beloved Dr Jim West:

August 2010 Biblical Studies Carnival

This is just classic. Hat-tip to Dr West:

Just to let you know that I’ve put a new link to Chavah Internet Radio on the left hand side.

This has been put together by fellow blogger Judah Gabriel of Kineti L’Tziyon, himself a Messianic Jewish believer.

As I often listen to this, I thought I’d pop it on this blog for my own convenience and for anyone else whom may be interested.

I asked Judah for a few words of introduction and here’s what he said:

Chavah is internet radio for Yeshua’s disciples with a certain Messianic Jewish slant. Inspired by Pandora, Chavah is frictionless, easy to listen to, no sign-up required, and only the best of the Messianic music genre. Hope you enjoy!

I thoroughly commend it to your ears.

Sounds a bit weird to me….

Softpedia:

With the first announced chapter of the experience set to focus on the Genesis book of the Holy Book and allow gamers to experience the biblical narrative and explore the less known aspects of the story.

Players will be set in the role of leader of their tribe, building up their villages, manage limited resources and keep the budget in the black.

As players meet up with one another they will need to decide whether they prefer to try out diplomacy or whether they are ready to go to war to expand their influence.

The final challenge will be to lead Abraham’s tribe from Ur to Haran and then to Canaan.

The Bible Online will also include some role playing elements, with a birth right system that allows gamers to determine the fates of Issac and Jacob and side quests that help develop the setting.

Doctor Alan Kim, who is the president of FiAA GmbH, stated when the announcement was made that, “The Bible Online is developed for players of all ages to easily get closer to the Bible, while enjoying the game. The Beta is planned for the 6th of September. We plan to service the game in most of the European languages by the end of the year. We will also develop following chapters to cover all the stories of the Bible.”

I’ve oft noted P Z Myers ridiculing the colour, fonts and layout styles of some Christian websites, which in all fairness can be truly awful, here’s an example.

So it was no surprise when I clicked on a Telegraph article entitled, Nine Web Design Horrors to discover that first up was a website entitled; Accept Jesus, forever forgiven.

You have to view this one ‘live’ to get the full glorious appreciation:

Accept Jesus, forever forgiven

Wow…..just wow….
