New Contributors to the Jesus Blog!

And then there were six. Jesus scholars, it seems, are multiplying like rabbits these days. If we're not careful we will be dealing with a veritable plague of new voices in Jesus research. So to keep up with the times, the Jesus Blog will be expanding our roster of contributors from three to six.

Yes, yes. I'm aware that this Breakfast Club photo only pictures five characters. You can think of me as Principal Vernon if you need the 1985 typology to fit. So how am I doing with the "keeping up with the times" thing?

Next week we'll announce the first of our new cast of characters. I think you'll find her voice and perspective to be fresh, provocative, and interesting. Stay tuned.
