Google Chrome – the nets are abuzz with the news that Google has developed a browser from scratch and intends to release it later today.  Wonder who it will hit the hardest?  IE, Opera, Safari, Firefox?  Some say this is the wrong question to ask. OOHHH!!!!  You can now DL it here

Should you translate ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ as “the kingdom of God” or “the rule of God?” I favor rendering it as “the kingdom of God,” but technically, I think you can do it either way.  If you have an interest in this topic, or know Greek, I encourage you to read what Hank has to say and contribute to the convo over there.

Jews or Judeans? There has been some debate as to whether or not the use of the term “Jews” is an appropriate translation of Ἰουδαῖοι.  There are  a slew of posts on this topic over at ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ on this topic. See Judean and Syrian, and Being a ‘Jew’ or a ‘Judean’.  Elsewhere you can find John H. Elliott’s article on Jesus the “Israelite” and Was there such a thing as ancient “Judaism”?: Steve Mason’s recent article on “Judeans” (Ioudaioi) in antiquity.  Me?  It depends on the context and who is writing.  I think that most of the time "Judeans" should be used in the gospels, but in other sources, such as Paul’s letters, "Jews" should prob be used.

#108 Appearing to enjoy Classical Music from Stuff White People Like - Love it.  I am one of those people.  Sort of…  I enjoy some classical music, but I can’t tell you a darn thing about any of it.  But then again, I am the same way with a lot of music.

Damn Dirty Skrulls: What We Know Now 11 - Yet another great installment on the ongoing Secret Invasion "event."  If you aren’t buying all of the tie ins (and who can blame you?) check here for some hilarity. Here is what they say about New Avengers #44:

Like many recent Avengers books, this Avengers book doesn’t really star the Avengers. And that’s okay, because neither does one of this week’s other Avengers books, and neither does this week’s Spider-Man tie-in. In fact, this is becoming such a recurring theme that other media are starting to catch on; I understand that there will soon be an episode of The Hills that isn’t filled with vacuous, talentless mannequins.
