Many thanks to @robheaton.com for this thoughtful review of my book and to both Rob and @rheaclassical.bsky.social for the opportunity to state publicly what I think about accusations of parallelomania!

Reminds me of the time I came across a dating of 1 Thess to 49 BCE, remarkable! But I’ll note it says early Jewish and Christian literature together in the date range, a little haphazardly

Academia loves to decolonize everything besides occupied land. Its silence on Palestine is enough to know how decolonization has become a metaphor signifying everything besides material change and collective resistance.

This is toward the end of what’s considered “patristic” but I’ve seen the recent argument that we have Bede’s handwriting in a manuscript, as well as possibly a Bible he used/copied. www.theguardian.com/books/2023/s...

theguardian.com

A smoking quill? Notes in Bible margin could be handwriting of the Venerable Bede

Annotations in eighth-century manuscript point to work of revered English monk, scholar and saint

I don’t think I need to convince @chancebonar.bsky.social of this at all but Hermas (even if we know so little about the person) is low key one of the most interesting figures we have pre-3rd c., for many reasons. James Jeffers’s “Conflict at Rome” is a good study but more work to be done on Hermas!

I’m not sure how this is even a question. Yes, scholars should be paid for their labor. Fine, say “we can’t under present conditions,” but if the question is what’s *fair*, that seems pretty obvious!

I don’t know if you endorse the Bovon “useful for the soul” category for the Shepherd but he didn’t seem to apply it or its criteria to Hermas. My opinion, obviously, but I think the Shepherd demands that we reevaluate how we conceptualize the canon’s formation. brill.com/view/journal...

My only regret is that we recorded this well before the recent viral wave, otherwise my first question would’ve been “how often do you think about the Roman Empire?”
