Blogging the Bible

What happens when an ignoramus reads the Good Book?
David Plotz from Slate magazine is blogging the Bible. This introduction explains what looks like a very interesting project. Genesis chapter 1 starts here, whilst the latest entry (from Genesis chapter 25 at the time of writing) is here.

My goal is pretty simple. I want to find out what happens when an ignorant person actually reads the book on which his religion is based… I’ll spend the next few weeks (or months) finding out. I’ll begin with “in the beginning” and see how far I get… I’m sure I’ll repeat obvious points made by thousands of biblical commentators before; I’ll misunderstand some passages and distort others—hey, that’ll be part of the fun.

    This looks really interesting. Dim question alert: But how do you subscribe to the blog bit? Now that I’ve (at last) got my head round RSS and using bloglines, I can’t see how to subscribe to the blog, only how to subscribe to Slate magazine (and it wasn’t obvious to me from the Slate homepage how to get to the blog).

    Hi Jack. Not a dim question at all. Having had a look it does seem as if subscribing to the slate feed itself is the only option. I suppose you should be able to spot the ‘blog’ entries (I don’t know whether it really is a ‘blog’ in the strictest sense actually) from the main feed.
