Doug Chaplin, a.k.a. Clayboy, hosts the Biblical Studies Carnival for December with a roundup that manages to combine both breadth and depth. If you haven’t seen it already, check it out!

But then Doug raises pesky questions about whether the BSC should continue in the same vein, or transmogrify itself into something altogether different. I’ve seen responses from Tyler Williams and Loren Rosson; other bloggers have probably opined, but I haven’t read those posts yet. Why don’t you give those a read, too, and weigh in (if you have an opinion) on those posts or your own blog. I don’t really have a strong preference myself. But I don’t agree with Tyler that a theme post + comments can’t be called a “carnival,” as that is exactly the model followed by some other carnivals (the role-playing games carnival, for one).
