HAve had a lot of fun exploring Evangelical Outpost's list of Bloggers he tips for the big time. I wondered what they had in common, and I discovered that all except four of them shared the good taste (Ed- you are being too modest!) not to link to my own blog. The fact that all of them link to Evangelical Outpost is probably a give-away as to how he found some of them. The easiest and often most fruitful way of finding a blog that you like is to look in your referrers and to see who has sent readers to you. My guess is that is exactly what Joe Carter did and good on him for doing so. I really must do more of this myself. For now, if you link to me do feel free to drop me a line about it and I will check your own blog out.

So what of the four that link to me? Rusty Lopez , Jeremy Pierce, and David Wayne are three most excellent openly Evangelical Bloggers. I am familiar with all of them, and would single out David for special praise- he will overtake me in the ecosystem rankings very soon I am sure- and I will rejoice! Gideon Strauss describes himself as a neocalvinist and from his explanations I am no wiser as to what that is. If he reads this, I think it would be great to engage further on this.

So everyone else hadnt linked to me, which means if they are going to be big league bloggers in the future, I will not be getting hits from them! There are some good blogs here-

OMF Serge tends to blog very intelligently about science and religion
John Coleman brogs on a broad range of subjects and appears to be evangelical
Nick Troester describes himself as a Christian...third way Democrat- no I don't believe thats a contradiction in terms, honest!
David Koyzis is a political lecturer complete with bow tie and describes himself as a Byzantine-Rite Calvinist, which to me sounds almost as much of a potential contradiction as the 'reformed charismatic' label I sometimes use.
Bill Wallo caught my eye with his post arguing that any reparations for American slavery should only be paid by corporations with a history of profit from slavery.
Donald Crankshaw caught my eye with a post on the purpose of science.
Macht turned out to be another scientist
And finally, the boys from Lean Left seemed to me to be doing a better job of promoting Kerry than what I have seen of the official campaign.
