The biblioblogging community should be proud. It seems that yet again the collective effort of scholars and other interested parties with blogs has shed more light on an issue than the media or any one individual managed to, and has done so quickly and effectively. The next time someone asks "Why blog?" I will mention this as an example of the sort of thing that makes blogging worthwhile for all.If you have not been following the latest developments, here are the key recent links (i.e. yesterday and today) in the blogs, all of which also have additional links:
Daniel O. McClellan: Peter Thonemann on the Lead Codices
Paleojudaica: Hebrew-Inscribed-Metal-Codices Watch: A Fake
Paleojudaica: Hebrew-Inscribed-Metal Codices Watch
Forbidden Gospels: Lead Codices? Come on!
Very well done to the bloggers who managed quickly to get on top of this story, in spite of the thin reporting, confusion and misinformation in much of the media.

You're not April fooling us, are you?
I’m neither standing with the Elkingtons, nor with any Consensus or pressure group. I just want to make my point that texts has been written on lead before and after first century AD. One can’t change this fact even if he or she doesn’t have much confidence in my academic credentials.
