It is written by a Canadian criminal defense lawyer, now a Crown prosecutor, and it explores the legal and moral dynamics of the Book of Job with particular emphasis on the distinction between causal responsibility and moral blameworthiness embedded in Job’s Oath of Innocence. It is highly praised by Job scholars (Clines, Janzen, Habel) and the Review of Biblical Literature, all of whose reviews are on the website. The author is an evangelical Christian, denominationally Anglican. He is also the Canadian Director for the Mortimer J. Adler Centre for the Study of the Great Ideas, a Chicago-based think tank.

Have you tried Digg and Stumble Upon as well? Anyway, you've got a new subscriber so keep writing. Cheers! I’ve found Technocrati an interesting source of links and leads as well.

Basically it's an idea that spreads like a virus (so religion is a "meme" in his view). I think Alister McGrath has written some criticisms of the concept. But in the world of blogs, a meme is simply a list of questions. You answer them and then ask a few friends to answer them on their blog (and so on), so eventually it spreads all over the place. I generally ignore them, but if the questions are interesting enough, I will answer them. Hi Jonathan,
