If you want to search through the posts and bibliographies of PastoralEpistles.com, you can do so using the search box in the sidebar.

The search box uses Google's "Free Web Search with Site Search" feature. I've adjusted the HTML to fit in the sidebar and not look too outrageous.

Note that Google's index may be slightly out-of-sync with PastoralEpistles.com's most recent posts.

Enjoy!

Confused about where to find something on the PastoralEpistles.com site? Then use the PastoralEpistles.com Site Map. The site map is a bibliographic-style listing of each of the different types of posts that are found on PastoralEpistles.com. Clicking on the [more detail] link after the citation will fetch the post in question.

As always, any feedback on the site structure/setup, be it positive or negative, is appreciated.

Enjoy!

Navigating PastoralEpistles.com should be pretty simple once you grasp the basic setup. The key to navigating invovles the sidebar and also the category headings. Here are a few quick pointers:

• The PastoralEpistles.com logo (top left corner) will always bring you back to the home page.
• Headings in the sidebar (apart from the Categories head) will let you view all posts in that category. So, if you click on BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRIES (BOOKS) you'll get all of the entries of that type, not just the most recent entries shown in the list.
• Clicking on major headings (e.g. BLOG POSTS) in the main window will do the same thing.
• The Permalink at the end of each article is a link that will navigate to the specific article. So if you want to link to an item on PastoralEpistles.com from your own site/blog (please feel free to do this), that's the link you want.
• The category listings at the end of each individual post will, when clicked, generate an index of all posts on that category for you to examine. The same thing happens when clicking an entry in the sidebar category listing.

Those are the basics. Have fun clickin' around!

You've put your heart and soul into a study on some aspect of the Pastoral Epistles. You've posted it on your web site.

But how will anyone ever know about it?

If you'd like to submit a link to something you've written concerning the Pastoral Epistles, just use the submission email address in the sidebar. We'll review the information and if it fits our tastes (typically meaning it isn't heretical or overly polemical) we'll write an abstract and post a link in our annotated bibliography.

Thanks!

Welcome to PastoralEpistles.com.

This site hopes to serve as a respository for information on the Pastoral Epistles. Whether the information is in print or online, we hope to eventually catalogue it here.

In addition, this site is a blog. It uses custom-written software that allows authors to post blog entries, links to articles on PastoralEpistles.com and bibliographic entries of all sorts.

The software that serves up PastoralEpistles.com should be considered under development and in beta form. A few essential bits still need to be written (RSS support, for one), but the basics of composing, submitting and viewing articles seem solid enough.

Who Runs This Thing?

My name is Rick Brannan. You can read a little more about me on my personal home page. I've always liked the Pastoral Epistles and for the past two years have spent much of my personal study time in these three books of the New Testament.

I've been keeping notes and generating all sorts of data along the way. My own personal home page has been updated piece-meal along the way, and it was just getting too difficult to maintain.

In addition, I wanted to start an annotated bibliography of books that come in handy when studying the Pastoral Epistles. Not just books, but journal articles and internet sites as well. So I decided to write the code to make all of this happen. Hopefully the code stands the test and is able to serve up data for those interested.

So, this site is a bit of a mongrel. Part blog (I'll still be keeping my own personal blog, don't worry), part annotated bibliography, and part ... well, part something else.

I'm very interested to know what you think of this concept. Drop me an email using the address posted on the side.

If you'd like to write an article, or if you've written something on your own web site that you'd like me to point to, please feel free to send an email to the listed submissions address.

Thanks! And enjoy PastoralEpistles.com!
