December 30, 2011: The day that never happened (in Samoa).

An interesting article in BAR: "Cultic Practices at Tel Dan—Was the Northern Kingdom Deviant?" I typically hate archeology, but this article is relevant to my research into the periods of the late monarchy, the exile and the postexile. Any thoughts?

Another humorous critique of the state of American higher ed. Full disclosure: I have three degrees (including two master’s degrees) in biblical studies–yet I work in the pharmaceutical industry.
