Welcome to Bible Woot!
Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 11:10PM What is Bible Woot? It's my attempt at culling the online marketplace to point to you reputable, clear, and free resources for helping you study and understand the Bible. Think of it as an annotated bibliography for online resources. The results will skew towards the academic rather than devotional, though the devotional pages are some of my personal favorites.
Why "Woot"? Linguists disagree on the term's origin. The full range of woot's semantic field applies to this site. Studying the Bible and letting it inform one's life should make one say "Yay!"; entering God's Kingdom can be described as "finding wonderous (spiritual) loot"; the train-whistle image is a nice way to contextualize Luke-Acts' Journey motif; and the message of the Bible's Apocalyptic Literature could be described as reminding us that "We Own the Other Team," (Rome or otherwise).

I assume by troll you meant your snot-nosed little sister who only has a Bib-Theo Minor?
You're certainly within the broader Semantic Domain of "Internet Troll," but I had in mind the larger community whose sole purpose is to leave sarcastic comments, start flame-wars, and contribute to the general mayhem of the online community. Sometimes the things they say can be helpful, if you sift through all the vitreol.
But the short answer is, no, not initially, but now that you point it out... :)
How exciting! I can't wait to contribute to the blog!
Amazing. The "Biblical Lifestyle" tab is especially great.
