Logos Bible Software has opened an invitation to graduate students to publish for the Lexham Bible Dictionary. There are already scholars who have agreed to contribute, but I suspect the lines are still open. From the ‘Participate’ page:
(Graduate students are encouraged to participate in their field of expertise; the Lexham Bible Dictionary is a great way to earn publication credits while making an enduring contribution to Biblical reference.)
If you are interested, then take a look here.

@JohnDave: Are you going to write any?
Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I do think that we need to be careful with the idea that this provides “a great way to earn publication credits,” and I commented to that effect over at Scientia et Sapientia. In short, I think this may be a good opportunity as long as you don’t see it as a way of padding your resume.
@Marc: Do you think it could have adverse effects if someone reviewing a resume thought it was low quality because it contained free contributions by students (assuming someone was familiar with the project)?
@Brian: I inquired about what articles are available. Are you considering it?
@Marc: Thanks for that word of caution. Yes, I agree it would be a good opportunity and a good learning experience as well.
@Brian: I think it would ultimately be up to you to include it in the resume.
@Brian – I think that would only be a problem if it looked like the resume was unduly weighted in that direction. If there’s a nice balance between things like this and more substantial research, that wouldn’t be a problem.
@JohnDave: I don’t intend on doing so. I may email back just to see what is available and if anything strikes my eye then maybe.
@Marc: Well, at this point, I don’t have much of a resume so it would be all padding! 🙂
