“Re-theologization, re-mythologization and re-nationalization are common reactions to the hyperculturalization of the world. Thus, hypercultural de-siting will have to confront a fundamentalism of sites.” Hyperculture Byung-Chul Han For my friends in USA in light of recent events

Can anyone recommend me a paper/article on what the book of Revelation contributes to NT theology in general? Like it is often push aside to the margins and most often than not not considered seriously in NT theologies. So someone must have argued why is important theologically

Con un grupo de eruditos paulinos españoles estamos organizando un seminario/taller para discutir un poco de 2 Tes (asuntos interpretativos) y además conocer a los eruditos paulinos de habla hispana en el mundo a fin de conocernos y formas redes de colegas. DM para el link

Reading this at church today feels transgressive lol

I think this is the most methodological rigorous article I’ve ever read. It proves that Paul’s studies are not dead. Challenging for my pre-conceived conservative ideas about Paul. Yet, it is an example of where NT studies are heading in the future, its just trailblazing .

So I have a friend that gave me today the new ECM on Revelation as a gift. Incredibly grateful.

Quick reminder that ISBL/EABS call for papers is still open. We want to see you next year in Uppsala. If you have anything apocrypha/pseudepigrapha related, send it our way. PhD students and early career scholars are specially encouraged to submit an abstract. #ISBL25

While I understand the importance of publishing in established journals, it is a bummer that you submit something almost a month has passed and not even an editor has been assigned yet to your paper. Meanwhile, Religions could have your paper published in the same time.

Has someone submitted an article to Journal of Theological Studies lately?

It's the anniversary of this festschrift for Steve Friesen that @dcsmith.bsky.social, @tonyk.bsky.social, and I edited. So many great articles in here, and the whole thing is now open access! www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edi...

This SBL was really special. My first time at SBL was 5 years ago in San Diego. So, I could see how far I’ve come along. Highlights: conversation with @lllogannnnn and Martin Karrer, Mr. Apocalypse himself, asked me to send him my paper because he was interested. #SBLAAR24

Which receptions should I look forward to tonight? #sblaar24

About to begin … if you are interested in text segmentation or Revelation or Canon, do come along.

Amazing paper by Isaac Oliver on daimonia, impurity, Hebrew Bible and the Gospel of Luke.

So, where are the good receptions today at #sblaar24?

If you can define with one word the feeling of hearing about the ECM of Revelation and the new avenues of research that it opens is awe. What an accomplishment.

1 paper ready and another one in the making. Good luck to y’all writing your papers today.

Presenting Sunday and Monday afternoon at SBL on the relationship between canon, material form, chapter systems and Revelation as well as what’s unique to Cyril of Alexandria’s exegesis of John 7 vis à vis other early Christian commentators.

Today is publication day. If you are interested in paratexts or early Christian writings, check this out. It is open access: www.degruyter.com/document/doi... I encourage you to read the pdf since the webpage version has some mistakes.

My really really long article has been published in Religions. www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15... If you really are into the topic give it a read. Otherwise, you can skip to the middle of the article and start reading from there

fascinating open-access article on women and veiling in late antiquity, primarily using material evidence... but the lack of engagement with Kate Wilkinson's phenomenal book on women & modesty in late antiquity is a really surprising lacuna

I just got an article rejected in JTS. Something stood out to me as I read the report of the reviewers. One said “I found it hard to suppress a "No ****, Sherlock" comment when reading this.” A simple “this is self-evident” would have sufficed. No need to be rude.
