Remember when we teachers and professors used to tell our students not to use Wikipedia? Its standards are now higher than the many teachers and professors (and university admins) who promote the use of AI.

You're right - Streeter's accounting for all the data makes it very easy to teach, which is why i always start with it. Im grateful though to be able to share with my students short clips like this for them to appreciate both the positives & negatives, & to seek out dissenting views. Thank you Mark!

Mike Bird's association of biblical scholarship he doesnt like with Naziism (he's also done this to JD Crossan & B Mack) risks trivialising the concrete words & actions of really-existing racists & anti-semites whose historical & continuing acts of political violence should remain a primary concern

Robert Myles @robertjmyles.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Mbird still using accusations of nazi connection in place of scholarly argumentation. Idiot.

Excited to join the Wollaston Research Seminar next month to share some ongoing research on the TDNT. My paper, “Translating Kittel’s Wörterbuch: A Bourdieusian Analysis,” examines correspondence between M Barth, W Eerdmans Jr, and G Bromiley through the lens translation studies.

It’s #MosaicMonday and we’re taking a dip in the sea to freshen up with this marine life mosaic from Pompeii. It’s possible to identify the different species including the central tussle between an Octopus vulgaris (common octopus) and a Palinurus vulgaris (European spiny lobster). #AncientRome

This gorgeously detailed piece shows a section of sea completely dominated by marine life of different types including fish, eels, and cephalopods. It was found in a house in Regio VIII.2.16 at Pompeii and is now held by the MAN Napoli (inv. 120177).

Looking on from an increasingly irreligious Australia, it is Interesting how the Bible persists as a site of struggle for the wider culture -- not just Christians.

I tend to see book proposals as different to journal articles in that it is (generally speaking) okay to approach multiple publishers, as long as you're transparent etc with them about that.

The inverse is also interesting regarding ideological gatekeeping in NT studies. I once received a negative peer review which asserted I hadn't included German scholarship despite my work containing extensive & nuanced discussion of Marx, Engels, Kautsky, Bloch, et al.
