Announcement

From Otium Sanctum to Biblista.NETI just would like to inform those who have been asking me about it that Otium Sanctum will no longer be updated.  Instead, I'll be disabling the website from future memberships but allowing surfers to access its contents.  The website to visit now will be Res Biblica (http://www.biblista.net/main) which has new articles that follow the format of the ones in Otium Sanctum.

So why am I no longer updating Otium Sanctum?  Too many spammers bogging down the system.  Besides, the bandwidth demands of the site has been increasing since the time it reached 200 posts.  That is the reason why sometimes, towards the end of the month, the website gives off the announcement that it has exceeded its bandwidth instead of showing off its contents.  In any case, the articles will continue to be available.
