Good idea. I’ll have to do mine! Some will be the same, I think.

Can’t wait to see who you pick.

[...] 24, 2008 in blogging, blogs, scholars Nick had a good idea for a list, so I’m going to offer my list of scholars (dead* & alive) that I wish had [...]

I think I would add Richard B. Hays to the list, but yours looks great.

Will: I haven’t read Hays yet. Perhaps when I get around to it my list will need updating.

Here are my additions:
John Stott
Luke Timothy Johnson
Craig Keener
Gary Burge
Os Guiness
F.F. Bruce*
C.S. Lewis*
Walter Martin*
Stan Grenz*

If we are allowing famous names from the past, how about adding these two?
Paul of Tarsus*
Jesus of Nazareth (no*)

Add two more old dead scholars for me:

J.B. Lightfoot*
Origen* (who would single-handedly outpost the rest of the blogosphere!)

Brian: Keener and Bruce were considered for this list but ultimately lost out.

Peter: Well, my interaction with Jesus is already personal so I think him keeping a blog would be superfluous. I’d create a whole new category for Paul.

Chuck: I can leave Lightfoot, but Origen would be a welcome addition, and you’re right, he would outpost the rest of the blogosphere, unless of course, Jacob Neusner started blogging. :-P

Maybe I’ll do a top 10 list of Church Fathers I wish blogged.

cool idea; I did my own.
