A big thank you to the Durham theology team for organising an enjoyable and well-run Society for New Testament Studies conference in such a lovely setting. It was fantastic to meet with and learn from scholars from around the world. Already looking forward to our meeting next year in Tübingen!

Looking forward to reading this promising collection of articles #Classics

My book, Perceptions of the Divine in Greek Historiography: A Hermeneutical Dilemma from Herodotus to Luke, has just been published. I'm deeply grateful to the editors of the SBA series, to the team at Schwabe Verlag, and to the SNSF for funding full Open Access: www.schwabe.ch/produkt/jame...

This looks really good and even timely for biblical studies. E.g. a chapter on ‘Luke-Acts’ would have been a good contribution.

Bravo Foi & Vie pour ce numéro sur les Actes des Apôtres - cf. mon article sur le rôle intrigant de Gamaliel devant le Sanhédrin comme un 'sage conseiller' dans l'historiographie grecque. Et Luc devant ses lecteurs, aussi un 'sage conseiller'? www.foi-et-vie.fr/archive/revi... #classics #bible

In Our Time (Classics): top contributors

Thucydides, religion, and the divine? Here's my bit... "Le dilemme herméneutique de Thucydide: Comment décrire la guerre du Péloponnèse sans parler du divin comme Homère et Hérodote?", a chapter in this delightful Festschrift in honour of Philippe Lefebvre @unifr. amzn.eu/d/ghfAeya

My interview with Steve Walton about his new commentary on the Acts of the Apostles (1:1–9:42). Classicists of all types (which includes biblical scholars!) will benefit from the depth of Steve's teaching and research! Thanks for your support and forbearance of my channel youtu.be/DZlpL-bpu98?...

Has anyone used this reader and want to comment on it?

Time to relax a little🙌🏼 - a huge thanks to everyone who encouraged me in my Habilitation project!

Ouch…a bit too close to home… « Some people may be clever enough to teach many, and yet be useless to themselves. » ἔστιν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος πολλῶν παιδευτής, καὶ τῇ ἰδίᾳ ψυχῇ ἐστιν ἄχρηστος. (Ecclesiasticus / Book of Sirach 37.19 )

Need a study/writing break? I love the beginning of Marc Johnson's album "Bass Desires," which opens with a killer intro in "Crossing the Corpus Callosum". Intriguing title with intricate mixing. Best heard with headphones 😉(The rest of the album is a little more 'normal'.)

✂️ Killer intro by Marc Johnson's band in "Crossing the Corpus Callosum"!!!
