Yeah, that seems a plausible scenario. Paul is also doing some strange things with time, esp. in 1 Cor 7 (time is drawn together, live as not…). I’m mostly driven by a fascination for similar time-related ambiguity in John. Looking forward to reading your book when it’s out - and snippets for now!

I did briefly reference your 2025 article btw on the ‘Last Day’ in John. Thanks for that! Do you understand Paul’s apocalyptic vocabulary in a similar metaphorical vein or is that not the direction your comparative approach takes?

Yes, definitely! Breaking down these silos is part of why I presented my paper on John in a more general session on eschatology in Uppsala last week (the other part is that as it is a rather new niche to me, I wasn’t totally convinced it could stand the test of a Johannine literature session…).

Wonderful news! And as I am just ‘transferring’ from Paul to John in my research, I am very curious how you develop this particular argument.

I will be at SBLi/EABS Uppsala next week, together with five of my colleagues from PThU Utrecht. If we succeed in our roadtrip through Germany and Denmark this weekend…

Ja, jammer hè… ik heb van 2015-2018 nog mogen meeddenken in de ledenraad, toen Onderweg wegbereider van de verzoening tussen GKv en NGK was. Misschien kan dat opnieuw door samenwerking met Petrus of #protestant?

De King James Version heeft inderdaad ‘Christus’ toegevoegd in Fil. 4:13. Verzen 11-12 (en de rest van de brief) zijn wel vrij essentieel voor de uitleg. NBV heeft het beter vertaald: ‘ik ben tegen alles bestand door hem die mij kracht geeft.’

Ah, fellow-Amersfoorter are you? Either I did’t know or I forgot… Perhaps we’ll meet in the trains to Utrecht as well as under these blue skies then!
