So excited to be joining the steering committee of the SBL's Healthcare and Disability in the Ancient World! This year's CfP includes thematically directed and open sessions with a HYBRID format: www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Con...

Today I'm drinking tea under a snuggly blanket and (re)reading several essays on women and gender in this smashing volume #biblicalstudies #christianorigins

Bertie sends his best floof to everyone especially needing love today

Huge congratulations to Dr @josephscales.bsky.social on the publication of his first monograph: Galilean Spaces of Identity brill.com/display/titl... (photo credit to Kathryn)

Roadmap for my writing goals in January, with prizes along the way (inspo: Jacqueline Vayntrub)

This person needs to read Julia Kelto Lillis' excellent book, Virgin Territory: Configuring Female Virginity in Early Christianity

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. May the light shine for you.

Excited for my (virtual) SBL paper later today!

Bertie is thrilled with his new book! #godsmonsters

Be sure to check your kids' Halloween candy this year, just found the Lutheran Perspective on Paul in a Mars bar

Bertie endorses this book for all his friends interested in the apostle Paul. It's a brilliant blend of scholarly and accessible, historical and relevant. Here's to 'making Paul weird again' and finding him more intelligible than ever!

Exciting news from Yonatan Adler in the other place: "The IAA and the Israeli Ministry of Heritage have invited the media to attend an event on Wednesday, September 6, where "an impressive, important and rate find from the Judean Desert Caves" will be revealed. Stay tuned... HT Joseph Lauer"

Typesetting Q for my biblical comrades: Why does using the SBL Hebrew font in Word enlarge the line spacing, leaving an unpleasantly uneven presentation? What's the workaround?
