Four images in four panels. One of a painting of an octopus holding a mirror. On the foggy mirror a smiley face has been drawn. Another image is of a track list of songs on the album. Another image is of sound waves from a voice note recording. The last is of tracks on music software.

You'll be able to find it everywhere music can be found, but if you follow me on Spotify or Apple Music (or YouTube Music) you'll get the album on your new music playlist automatically

all that to say: your work has been really generative for me this summer, from course preps to MS revisions to new article ideas. so a huge THANK YOU is in order

i’ve been trudging through some revisions for my own book on paul, and your CUP monograph was just the inspo i needed tbh. i really like the way you write. and now, in part inspired by your work on revelation, i’ve got two articles on revelation cooking, too, which i plan to submit later this fall!

can confirm: my students will be reading all of ch 1. it’s like the very first thing i’ll be getting them to read! haha

this one’s a doozy folks! massive congrats to Dr. Soon for making a really exciting contribution to such an important topic.

Friends who work with old (and illegible) manuscripts: Do you know of software where I can put in PDF digitizations of manuscripts where I can play with contrast/tone/saturation etc globally (not just page to page)?

there’s some excellent work being done on postclassical greek at mcgill and université acadia now too! @jeanmaurais.bsky.social @natekreider.bsky.social

The Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration Database is live at historyofincarceration.com.

Both the platform and the data are very much a work in progress, and we will continually update it over the coming years. I hope that it is useful, and if you would like to contribute, please do be in touch.

We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Annalisa Phillips Wilson (back) to the department! Dr. Phillips Wilson completed her PhD at Durham in 2021, so it’s a pleasure to have her back with us from September. A specialist in Pauline studies, Dr. Phillips Wilson will join our New Testament team.

A picture of the back cover of the book, with an impressively long list of endorsements from top scholars such as Paula Fredriksen, Matthew Novenson, Isaac Oliver, Madison Pierce, Yair Furstenberg, and Joshua Jipp. The frontmatter includes even more endorsements, from David Moffitt, Matthew Thiessen, Jason Staples, Cecilia Wassén, because the list already included on the back cover clearly was not enough.

too bad he couldn't manage to secure very many endorsements or anything.

A picture of my hand holding Paul T. Sloan's new book with Baker, entitled Jesus and the Law of Moses: The Gospels and the Restoration of Israel within First-Century Judaism.

was thrilled to find that @paultsloan.bsky.social's new book finally arrived in my office this morning! cannot wait to read ahead of my life of jesus course this semester. it has all the markings of a game-changer.

this sounds fantastic! would you happen to know if it’s in-person only or hybrid?

nooooooooo! i am so so sorry, Shaily, this is devastating. you and your work deserve so much better.

congrats on such a rave review! well deserved
