April DeConick, of Rice University, right here in my hometown of Houston, has just entered herself in the blogosphere with The Forbidden Gospels Blog. I don’t know much about Prof. DeConick, but it appears that her research interests include early Jewish and Christian mysticism, Gnostic thinkers, etc. Additionally, a quick portrait in front of some pyramids always lends credibility!
Danny Zacharias of deinde.org welcomes her to the blogosphere with a bit of criticism. Danny pretty much sums up my attitude about her initial post (“Beyond the New Testament Canon”). But, that’s what we’re all about—discussion!

Re your Op-ed in the NYT on December 1, do you think Judas as sacrificing Jesus to Azazel, as described in Leviticus 16?
I had Prof. DeConick at Rice and thats exactly what she’s interested in. Sometimes it was a bit overwhelming and overpowering but she’s interesting nonetheless.
It’s amazing how most people are joining the blogsphere. It’s great how important people like Prof DeConick share their insights online for everyone to read.
Prof DeConick might have just find out that by joining the online world is one of the best way to share his learnings and communicate with others. Which is somehow effective just like everyone else.
