Blogging scholars
I heard Darrell Bock speak at Heritage Theological Seminary today. Darrell (can I call you Darrell?) is an excellent New Testament scholar, and also very personable and media savvy. Who can fault a guy who has seasons tickets to his local NHL team? It’s not his fault it happens to be Dallas. I came home and Googled him, hoping to find that he’s blogging somewhere. No such luck. It made me realize how spoiled we are to have people like Scot McKnight blogging, and how great it would be for other scholars like Darrell to join the ranks. Not every scholar can write in a way that’s accessible to the masses. Bock would make a great contribution to those who appreciate his work, but it would also introduce him to others, including those who happen to see him on TV. So, Darrell Bock, if you ever Google your name and show up here, please get blogging. We need your voice.
