of the most influential blogs that contribute to an online discussion about religion in the public sphere and the academy. (UPDATE THE ACTUAL LIST IS HERE)
Maybe Next Year!!
Sorry American Catholic but yall did not get a mention but your arch enemy Vox Nova is on the list!! I suspect either Morning Minion or Prof Henry Karson must have taken some one out to an expensive dinner. :)
On a serious note I think the list is sort of SKEWED politically a tad and leaves some important blogs out. Also it it not sort of weird how some major faith traditions are sort of left out or under represented? Maybe more conservative blogs (there are of course some on that list and good ones) are a tad unrepresented because no one in the ACADEMY pays attention to what we say.
However who knew there were so many blogs keeping track of what the sneaky "religious right" was doing!!
Further with the big American Anglican battle going on I am tad shocked that not one "conservative" Episcopal blog is mentioned since the "internets" have been critical in that fight.
Still a good list to keep handy.
Update -
It is kinda of striking how "white" this is with the occasional black blog thrown in. Where are the Hispanics and Latinos? Also where are Christian Legal Blogs like the Catholic Mirrors of Justice that I think is widely read in the Academy.
Where are the Methodists some of the most socially politico active people? Lutherans? Are they communicating by "snail mail"
Couldn't find the list, but then again, if it's a liberals point of view or non-Catholic, I'm sure we wouldn't make even honorable mentioned!

Thanks for pointing that out. I have updated the entry with the link
ReplyDeleteJust reviewed the list and it is DEFINITALEY a left-wing list.
ReplyDeleteI am happy TAC didn't make the list.
Are either of you two familiar with The Immanent Frame? It doesn't sound like it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what criteria they used, but I do think the fact that we get quoted in diverse places such as the Washington Times and Politico it is how we got their notice. Nonetheless, two blogs I thought should have been on it, because they have large followings, and also are in the media, would be WDTPRS and American Papist.
