RBL Highlights: 7/25/08

Even more highlights from the Review of Biblical Literature. D. A. Carson's apparently negative review of Rescuing the Bible has already generated a substantial bit of biblioblog buzz; Mike Bird, James Crossley, Andy Naselli have posted initial reactions and responses. Even the eminent N. T. Wrong has taken time away from his episcopal duties to add his voice to the fray.
