This is my sandbox, but I thought I'd let you look over my shoulder. To help you (and me too) here are a host of links to folks who have already completed or are in the midst of completing a Ph. D. in some program in biblical studies. I link to these folks because they have done (and are writing about) what I want to do. Hope it helps!
