Typical Jim West:

Dr. Jim West’s Web log has been hacked and deleted through an unconscionable action of a party as yet unknown.

To Jim West from View from Jerusalem:

Yikes, what an awful event. We hope your web material is recoverable!

There are some internet spiders out there (including Google?) that have undoubtedly kept a copy of our web sites. So fortunately there is real hope of being resurrected, even if only virtually.

There is some honor in this (although this is such a nuisance and a sense of being invaded by the enemy)!

This makes you the First Martyr of the biblioblogosphere!

If there is anything we can do to help let us know.

If you would like to send a message in the meantime, we would be happy to post it on The View from Jerusalem.

Thanks to your experience, we just backed up our web site and web log an hour ago.

Know that our prayers are with you (and not just virtually).

From the Staff of The View from Jerusalem
