New to the Blogroll: Higgaion

I am adding yet another excellent blog to the good ol’ Blogroll:

Higgaion

This is the blog of Christopher Heard, associate professor of religion at Pepperdine. Lately, with the publication by of the Nabu-sharrussu-ukin tablet by Michael Jursa (see my notice about this here), I’ve been reading Higgaion. Christopher Heard is pretty much “da bomb.”

On a personal note: I can only assume that he is of no relation to the angelic-voiced “Chris Heard” with whom my brother sang in choir at Westwood Elementary School in Friendswood, Texas. Supposedly, Christopher Heard will soon be 40 (not judging by his picture in this post), making him 10-12 years older than “Chris Heard.”
