I have decided to split blogs and move my biblical studies related work to a new site, ArchaicChristianity.com. The blog is now basically functional and I have some book reviews up. I will continue to blog technical and personal thoughts here on this blog. When my biblical studies work crosses into the world of technology, you will probably see posts in both locations. If there is anything particularly important, I may crosspost that as well. But, in general, I think it is time for me to split my work.

If you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions, please drop me a note.

So what do you do with your spare time at work? I built an image viewer. Specifically, this image viewer is for viewing jpg files of New Testament manuscripts, digital images taken by the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. I have decided to make an installer and the source available, with a little description on my page about the application, which I call "Graphe".

Where did that name come from? It is from the Greek word γραφη, which means "writing", or "scripture". That seemed appropriate for an application with this kind of focus.

If you have any thoughts on improving the application, or questions on how to use it, please contact me. You can find my contact information here.

An organization that I work with, the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, just this last summer took a trip to Patmos to take digital photographs of some of the biblical manuscripts there. I just uploaded the writeup of the trip. Fun times. One of these days, I hope to go on one of them. In the meantime, I will spend some time studying the fruits of their labor, the very interesting photographs. If you want to see the public images that they have available, you can view them starting from the manuscripts page.

There have been some rumors floating around that a new ending for the gospel of Mark has been found. As it turns out, that was a case of inaccuracy in journalism. Read the scoop on the front page of CSNTM. There is even a retraction by the scholars themselves that had supposedly made the discovery.
