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.
