Round the Sphere Again: Scripture
Ten Facts
Michael Kruger (Canon Fodder) has begun a new blog series on ten basic facts about the New Testament canon every Christian should memorize so that they will be able to respond to some of the frequent “sensational claims, made by either scholars or laymen, that something definitively “new” has been discovered about the historical Jesus.”

For knowledge of God (Blogging Theologically).
For all the divine words you need (Pyromaniacs).
