Welcome to James Kennedy

James Kennedy of Baylor has a new blog, Seek and Read. He plans to post primarily on Hebrew poetry. This quotation from his welcome post sounds promising.

I plan to use much of this home page exploring the literary artistry of the Bible. To appreciate its art at deeper levels, I consider it absolutely necessary to be aware of the Bible’s cultural and historical contexts. The Bible is an ancient Near Eastern document and to read it as though it were heremetically sealed from ancient Near Eastern cultural influences is to adopt a docetic–so to speak–approach.

I'll be adding James site to my blog role with the next update which I promise will happen in the next day or two or perhaps month or two or whenever I get around to it. In the mean time, check out James Kennedy's Seek and Read.
