First Annual BibleDudes Awards: Call for Way Cool Nominees
So like I’m sledding with my kids in Omaha while I’m killing time until I can get back into my office. Freakin’ hurricane and all … And it hits me. What the world needs is an award for awesome BibleDudes. Not long dead ones like Moses, or Simon. Turn the page, dude! I’m talking real life BibleDudes who live, work, teach, study, and do all sorts of radical things to promote biblical studies. So I’m asking you, like the readers of this, to send me your nominees with a written argument about why they should get a BibleDudes award. I’m sort of like thinking “Best Bibliscious Bookie Thing” or “THE BibleDude of 2005″ or whatever you can come up with. Just explain why the person is a true BibleDude. Then, the people behind BibleDudes like Jeff, Bart, Therese, and I, along with the donkey Methuselah and the camel Cleopatra, will judge the entries, and then we’ll post the list, the BibleDudes awardees on January 1 2006. You’ll probably be hung over from champagne but it could be a fun and entertaining way to publicize this awesome discipline of biblical studies. I’m also thinking maybe a trophy, plaque, or tee shirt, or please feel free to suggest something else. So have at it, and send your nominees to:

Booyaa!
