Just finished listening to @maklelan.bsky.social's The Bible Says So. It'll be on my book shelf once the paperback comes out. Genuinely Dan, when I look back at my faith journey, and how I think about how the Bible fits into it, the understanding you've helped build may well be load-bearing 🙏❤️

I was happy to be invited by my friends at the University of Iowa to be a guest on their Bible & Archaeology Podcast to discuss my research on what resurrection was all about for the earliest followers of Jesus: deification. If you enjoy, feel free to share!

That's the *general* rule (Smyth §1150), but in John 1:1 it's irrelevant, because if θεος were definite, it would be "referring to a definite object (an individual or a class) that is well known, previously mentioned or hinted at, or identical with the subject" (Smyth §1152) & would be articular.

Calling all scholars of religion who are attending the upcoming #aarsbl26 meeting in Denver! I need your help, as I am using the current fun trend exemplified by "Subway Takes" to introduce the public to the world of (and the necessity of) religious studies - broadly speaking.

a gradient background with orange, teal, and magenta is the background. In a cream text, there are the words one line at a time "HOLY HOT TAKES." The first H has wings on it, the first O has a halo on it. The second o in the second line has flames on top of it, and the t has a "devils tail."

In just over 50 pages, @candidamoss.bsky.social challenges modern assumptions about who counted as a slave trader and demonstrates that the entire apparatus of Roman medicine, commerce, and education was complicit in the manufacture and sale of human beings. Link below 👇🔗

acts scholar problems: when giving a talk to a lay audience, do i give the scholarly consensus for its dating? or, do i give *my* date, spend 2-3 minutes explaining why, and then the next 5 explaining why everyone else is wrong? i feel every acts scholar does this. why's there a consensus, even?
