You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

I like the design. However, some people find inverted colors difficult to read. Better, therefore, to use dark letters on a light background...
Well I guess I will never have to worry about her critiquing my blog ;-)
What is wrong with being Anglican...?
(lol) .... I quite like the design of your blog.
Funny, in Tajeckistan where my live your bog is lolly pink with hot pink writings. Is this a jokey?

I'm not fond of the light on black so I usually read this in my blog aggregator unless I'm interested in the comments. Maybe there's nothing wrong with being Anglican, but she's not sure that this is what you are?
I thought you were Presbyterian, but I haven't been following that long.
The site design is beautiful, but you might want to put light panels behind the text and use a dark font there.
I'm not fond of black backgrounds and white text, but I enjoy your blog. I'm Roman Catholic and always find your blog stimulating and interesting. It never occurred to me you were anything but serious bible scholars. If not Anglican, what are you? I suspect Evangelical, but heck, I really don't care so long as you keep this blog rolling along.
Ha Ha Ha! I'm loving the fact that my friend is being considered as having succumb to the Dark Side!
You may think you're Luke "I'm a Baptist" Skywalker but you've really become Darth "I'm an Anglican" Vader!
Give over to your leanings and join us!
I'm sure we can find you a place in the monolithic mass that is the Death Star but also goes by the name of Moore Theological College.
Congratulations on having an excellent blog.
Mike Bird is a Reformed Baptist.
The design is that bad. However, I read your blog on a RSS reader. You might want to think about having a custom blog make. You can see ours at www.bringthebooks.org.
Maybe she got you confused with Michael A. Bird, the infamous bishop! It took me awhile to figure out that he wasn't your alter ego! : )
Since this is the only Biblical Studies blog I am occasionally reading, I don't have much to compare it with. I used to follow Evangelical Textual Criticism, which is a fine effort with some first class scholars. The only criticism I could level would be an obsessive preoccupation with secondary literature, but that is virtually a built in feature of modern, post mod and post post modern scholarship in general so it is hardly worth mentioning.
The overall design is great but the black background is pretty bad. I finally started reading the blog in my Mail program on my Mac
Hi Michael and Joel,
Excuse the assumption on the theological leanings. Your blog was one of the earliest i reviewed before i realised I really shouldn't be assuming i could figure it out unless the blog author explicitly told me somewhere on the blog. Please leave me a comment and I'll make the change on the review. I didn't mean to misrepresent you. So is Baptist correct?
You have a good quality blog - I'd hate to see a design feature (ie: color palette) mean that you don't get the readership you would otherwise. But i think your other commenters have made it clear that it isn't just my opinion...
Have a great day, and keep up the great work!
A.
I'm thankful for your blog - it has really been helpful to me. Regarding the design, I have to admit that before adding it to a feed I used to highlight the text so that the colors were inverted (and thus easier to read).
Hey – thanks for the link to those reviews, Mike. And I rather agree on the colour scheme critique.
Oh, and I can't resist saying I got a B+ on quality!
Been reading your blog for a couple of months now Mike and I find it really stimulating - so thanks for your work.
But I have to agree - white on black is not a good mix if you actually want people to read more than a couple of lines
