Syneidon is a very interesting website. The people who run it say:

The work of Biblical scholars is usually published in specialist journals which, together with their highly technical language, remain inaccessible to the general public. SYNEIDON is dedicated to providing an accessible and non-technical introduction to the academic research of the Old and New Testament for everyone who wishes to widen their understanding and appreciation of these texts, regardless of faith or academic ability.

They seem to be doing a great job of achieving their aims.  Well worth a visit, and thanks to Mark Goodacre from Duke University for drawing my attention to it.

I have recently come across several interesting posts on the issue of Christians and pacifism, thanks to Michael Westmoreland-White on his Levellers blog.

Michael himself has two recent posts – on Just Peacemaking and two types of Christian pacifism, and he also points to  a series by David Cramer on Cramer Comments.  Michael’s blog also includes a page of Christian peace links.

If you’re interested in this issue, these links will keep you occupied for some time.
