Scholarly friends, this is a huge year for the 'John and Synoptics' debate - 4 books from 9.25-9.26: @goodacre.bsky.social 'Fourth Synoptic' (9.25), my 'John's Interpretation' (LNTS, 4.26), Anna Grottoli's 'Ancient Biography' (WUNT, 7.26), AND @drecorsar.bsky.social 'John's Reworking' (WUNT, 9.26)!

An article I wrote just came out in Journal of Ancient Judaism the other day - on Rewritten Scripture. It is a tough thing to write about! But scholarly friends, check it out. If you can't get access, send me a message and I'll get you a copy: brill.com/view/journal...

Any #AARSBL friends in Boston, I’m presenting on the unusual note about self-harm in Mk 5.5 in the Psychology and Biblical Studies group on Sunday morning. If you’ve always wondered about that understudied text, come out and say hello!
