Publication day! The world doesn’t need another essay on the “Son of Man”… except for this one. In the latest issue of the Journal of Theological Studies: “The Son of Man as Corporate Figure in Early Jewish and Christian Tradition” (doi.org/10.1093/jts/...)

Really enjoyed this conversation! Galatians plays the starring role, of course, but also featuring cameos from L. Frank Baum, Origen, Widow’s Bay, the Acts of Paul, and The Wind in the Willows: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7mB...

Release day! The Life of Jesus in the Writings of Origen of Alexandria (Cambridge University Press) www.cambridge.org/us/universit...
“This brilliant study… shows that Origen wrestles with many of the same critical questions asked by contemporary exegetes… has the potential to reshape narratives about the quest and to reframe debates about theological interpretation.” – Michael P. Barber
“Origen has been both maligned and valued as one who anticipated contemporary biblical criticism: Johnson’s careful observations help readers to place this influential thinker both in his own time and in the flow of Christian thought. Thoroughly engaging…” – Edith Humphrey
“Johnson’s marvelous volume on the incomparable Origen is thoroughly engaging and consistently insightful… One comes away with a fresh appreciation of Origen’s towering brilliance and (even judged from our own time) sophistication.” – Dale Allison
My first book will be out at the end of this month! The Life of Jesus in the Writings of Origen of Alexandria (Cambridge University Press, September 30) www.cambridge.org/us/universit...
