Theological Toolbar Contest – Get a Blog Added


Comments 32 Comments

Enter your favorite blog into the list for a chance that it gets added to the Reclaiming the Mind Theological Toolbar.

This toolbar, from what I understand, has become the most popular theological toolbar on the net, providing people with instant and easy access to what we believe to be the best theological resources, including blogs, websites, and podcasts.

There are many things to come, including a project that we have been working on for six months that will have links to hundreds of the best Christian scholars, connecting you with them and their resources instantly.

However, there have been so many request that other blogs be included in the “Christian Portal.” I understand that I don’t have exhaustive knowledge on the blogs that are out there, that is why I am opening it up to you. Get as many people as you can to vote for a blog of your choice, and there is a good chance we will add it!

Good qualifying factors:

1. Posts are frequently updated.
2. Posts are of good quality.
3. Brings up good issues.
4. Solid theological posts.
5. The blogger wants to increase visibility (remember, this will increase visibility significantly)

Help me out here. What blogs do you want to see in the toolbar?

    I would like to see Ephesians Online in your toolbar. Great resource for those doing exegetical work, preparing sermons, etc.

    Steve Gregg is a gifted Bible teacher with a large body of work available for free.
    The most useful resources to me are:
    Topical Bible Studies (free MP3s)
    Verse by Verse Teaching (free MP3s)
    Radio Program (Streaming live 2PM–3PM PT, Monday–Friday)

    I will not suggest a blog because what I think the toolbar needs to be really useful is the option for each user to add the blogs and sites S/HE finds most useful.

    Michael, is there space on the toolbar for sermons and podcasts? Many churches allow downloading of their sermons for free. A list of sites (direct to the sermon page) of good teaching seems a sensible idea.

    Yes, there is a podcast player with a lot of podcasts already available.

    FYI:

    Many people are sending me email requests and requests on Facebook. I will only take submissions here on the blog so keep them here.

    I really like Pastor Paul McCain’s Lutheran blog at cyberbrethren.com.

    He’s really solid theologically, and very Internet savvy.

    http://www.faithinterface.com.au/ is good.

    It would be good if toolbars in general didn’t include a search box. The web browser already has one.

    I am about to remove the toolbar because of the increase in options – I really don’t care about a number of the blogs, and I ether have to go through the effort of deleting each of them, otherwise the indicator of new feeds is meaningless. The concept of having even more blogs I am not interested in would definitely put me to the point of deleting it.

    So, either let us choose who goes in the RSS feed, or turn of the indicator of new feeds

    I do NOT like Rey Reynoso’s blog BibleArchive.Com/Blog. But I do like Jeremy Pierce’s ( http://parablemania.ektopos.com/ ) and Bill Mounce’s blog ( http://www.billmounce.com/blog )

    Michael,
    I saw that Bruno mentioned that the Search is not needed in the toolbar since other toolbars and browsers already have one. I found out that this feature can’t be removed, but Conduit allows you to edit the Search component. To avoid redundancy in my toolbar, I removed the existing search options and added RMM among other sites and blogs.

    Editing the Search component is the same as the others: hover over it and select Edit.

    Well, faithinterface looks like it has the most votes, but as I look at it, it does not really contain too much original content. I would rather spotlight a blog that contributes originally.

Blog Rules

Please adhere to the following rules to prevent banishment to Siberia (no offense to our Siberian visitors):

  • Do not use the blog to promote yourself, as your surrogate blog, or as an advertisement. I am sure you are interesting and have some really nice things to say, but you can get your own blog.
  • Do not call authors out for debate. You must count the cost (Lk. 14:31). You don’t want to get whipped up on anyway.
  • Keep your comments short. Like when your comments are longer than the blog, that is too long.
  • Read All 6 Rules

Theological Word of the Day

Eastern Orthodoxy
A tradition in Christianity that claims to represent the church the most faithfully due to its adherence to the traditions, beliefs, and practices of the early church. Though many would see the Eastern Orthodox church as simply “Catholicism without a Pope,” the Orthodox would reject such a simplified identification. Not only do they not have [...] continue reading
