This is interesting listening http://newtestamentperspectives.blogspot.ca/2013/08/george-caird-lectures-on-romans-and.html – I suspect there was a sea change between the 60s when Caird was writing his brief commentary (230 pages) on Luke, and the lectures in the 1980s – that’s a hunch on my part..I reread the intro of the 60s book, and I think there are differences in attitude to Judaism. In lecture 3 he makes substantial use of Jewish interpretive methods. In the book, one could read it with replacement theology in mind if one was not careful. To underline these differences would require much time.
Thank you gents!
Shawn had a good post on Ignatian Christology – http://swilhite.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/ignatian-christology-part-i/
Forgive the shameless plug, but this would be good if folks haven’t seen it yet:http://raymondebrownss.weebly.com/
@Matthew:
Already included it! 🙂
@Brian R.:
Thanks!
please consider http://meafar.blogspot.ca/2013/08/psalm-109-theology.html – if you can use it. I am beginning a series where I explore the theology of the psalms – this post references recent reception history in Susan Gillingham’s work Psalms through the Centuries.
This is perhaps obvious – but I think this comment didn’t reach you.

Thanks Bob! When I listen to the Caird lectures I’ll make sure to keep an ear out for your observations here. I don’t know enough about Caird at this point to contribute anything to your point quite yet.
If you have a section on theology, perhaps this one will generate some thought: http://livingwittily.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/08/theology-as-the-handmaid-of-discipleship.html

I am doing a theology section. Thanks for these.
I don’t know what the ‘Biblical Studies Carnival’ is, but if your request for recommendations is about obtaining topics (to study, ponder, or whatever) here’s one:
The narrative [John 7:1-9] has Jesus refraining from going to Judea because “the Jews were seeking to kill him“. Yet, despite this, his brothers encouraged him to go anyway saying “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.“. In response, Jesus referenced his own death saying ‘My time has not yet come‘.
What’s going on here? Are Jesus’ brothers trying to get him killed (because not even his brothers believed in him [John 7:5])? Were they even aware of Jesus’ hesitancy? Why does Jesus say ‘The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.‘ in his response? Was he trying to point out that they were ‘worldly’?
In some ways this is disturbing in its suggestion. How do others take this?
These are the previous Biblical Studies Carnivals (see the links): http://biblioblogtop50.wordpress.com/biblical-studies-carnival-list/
Wow – that’s quite a resource! Thanks.
You’re welcome.
I’d still appreciate hearing your insight on what’s happening in [John 7:1-9] (or that of others).
I don’t have any thoughts on the passage right now, but maybe at a later date I’ll highlight it and we can discuss it.
