Book review by the one and only Paula Fredriksen, reviewing Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts. One line that made my editor’s heart sing: “Each essay is a jewel of careful
exposition and of ethical reasoning.” www.sblcentral.org/home/bookDet...

In case you don’t already hate Google’s automatic AI generated answers at the top of every search, here is some baked-in antisemitism for you! “While Jewish” is doing a lot of work there…!
A black screen with the Google search, Is Gal Gadot a nepo baby. The AI overview reads: No, Gal Gadot is not considered a "nepo baby" (a child of a famous parent) because her parents, while Jewish, are not known for being actors or other celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Tweet from Yonatan Miller: Ita only an apocalypse if it follows John Collins’s definition from Semeia 14. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling catastrophe.
