A good mail day with @profsamperry.bsky.social’s Flag and the cross. Just finished on audio but so good I needed a hard copy! Also a book recommended from @convocation.bsky.social from last month! 👍🏻👍🏻

Just finished this today. Goodness - what a tour de force!
17.11.2025 02:04 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Nice job. I do think PWJ folks are blinkered just a bit by their need to find a nonsupersessionist Paul. But you nailed it by noting they're not out to protect anything. Unlike those who see Paul thru a theological lens, PWJ folks seek to study him as just a Mediterranean religious guy.

I’ve always enjoyed reading authors who come from different perspectives than my own. Sylvie Honigman is one scholar I’ve found really interesting and stimulating lately. I love scholar shelfies too, and have a lot of the same books on my shelf as she does! 😁

I did manage to read Amy Balogh's book - having not heard of her before. I can't wait for the book that will come from this!

What a fascinating read! Any of my Hebrew Bible peeps familiar with this one? I’m curious how it’s been received in the scholarly community.
