Over 1,000 posts on Chrisendom

Time for a bit of self-congratulating nonsense.

I just passed 1,000 posts for Chrisendom; this is number 1003. I have had enormous fun in the process - and have learnt a lot from many of my readers' comments too.

To celebrate the occasion I'm going to make myself a cup of tea ... and suggest a little competition.

The challenge is to complete the following sentence. The winner will be posted, from the Chrisendom Merchandise Department, a bottle of CTRVHM Miracle Healing and Sin Removal Holy Phlegm (apply to forehead). Plus a bit of honour.

Complete this sentence (wicked suggestions get eschatologically judged)

"Chrisendom has now over 1,000 posts of sheer brilliance, theological innovation, exegetical insight, ecumenical subtlety, and ...."

scurrilous nonsense since NT Wright let fly the bilge he spewed in his fantabulous book on the resurrection of Jesus; saying more than can possibly and honestly be said by any entire population of a large Chinese city.

You answered your own challenge:

"Chrisendom has now over 1,000 posts of sheer brilliance, theological innovation, exegetical insight, ecumenical subtlety, and eschatological judgments" :)

Well, now Jim and Steph, remember I was only offering up a suitable conclusion for Chris's own self-description of his achievement. I have to say, I think I am not far off the truth here. As the self-professed world's cleverest person, surely the only ending more accurate for Chris would have been "and that is a 1000 more than any other biblioblogger on the planet!" But humble soul that he is, he left me to add the finishing touch for him. What a sweet guy! I can see why you enjoyed sharing a room with him at the SBL, Jim. :)

'Chrisendom has now over 1,000 posts of sheer brilliance, theological innovation, exegetical insight, ecumenical subtlety, and tips on how to spot the discerning theologian's underwear of choice, by means of deciperhing an eternal code embedded in the text by encircling every fifth letter.'

Congratulations Chris. You either love to blog or you have too much time on your hands. : ) I'm never quite sure what you're going to post yet. Keep it up.

Oh my! Mr. Tillinch you are so good! And your new picture in the front page is so sexy. If I were a woman I would instantaneously travel to Tybingen and propose you. I really think that you are a true treasure and that your talents are waisted in aforementioned town.

And 1000 posts, Vautsi! That's something, dude, it's like 10 hundreds in the row. You are amazing!

Ah, TJ, my own pet Finn.

Well, the vil comments of course don't get any holy phelgm.

It's your own fault.

As amusing as many of them were, and Ben Byerly's made me laugh out loud, John Lyons utterly brilliant suggestion must win; I wish I had thought of it!

Chris,

I hope Jim West never tries to look at who tj is (as I just did). All that gay porn would surely cause his brain to explode... :)

Slightly worried now about your "pet Finn".

Best,

John

...once he actually gets around to actually starting to post them, it will really raise the average of his currently published contributions.
