Off the cuff: Adela Yarbro Collins, Mark (Hermeneia). Amy-Jill Levine, The Gospel of Matthew, co-authored with Marc Zvi Brettler. Sharyn Dowd, Reading Mark: A Literary and Theological Commentary. Great of a book is Margaret Davies & E P Sanders, Studying the Synoptic Gospels.

Right. Like I said, hailing from and working predominantly in Europe, this whole thing seems foreign to me. I wish I could understand it better, but I obviously don't!

I don't really purport to know the world of Southern Baptists that well. E.g. my denomination is part of the World Baptist Alliance, which the SBs famously left b/c we weren't holy enough...

I can't speak for everyone but I know few Christians here who supported the Iraq war.

The regionality of it seems particularly interesting. Most of the white evangelicals here on the Continent are abhorred by MAGA and are dumbfounded by what's going on in the US. We had our stint with Nazism, which was endorsed by some mainline churches and communism, which repressed them variously.

Right. Never meant 'all' US Xians. Apologies.

Wouldn't surprise me if true.

Wondering @amreibahr.bsky.social thinks of this peculiar situation. Few people have done more for improving researchers’ working conditions than her!

Germany and France had kept ignoring (and mocking) Eastern European countries, esp. Poland and the Baltics, who repeatedly pointed out the Russian threat. Nobody listened.

Right? Frankly, I don't know why people do it. Everyone should feel free to reinvent/reconfigure the concepts and terms, particularly but at least be diligent and transparent about it... Alas.
And I'm looking forward to your book, btw!

Apologies for that. It was just a rhetorical plural. I am enjoying our exchange!

That's as may be, but it doesn't justify the sloppiness and lack of understanding on our own part!

No idea, but I think it might. Let's ask ChatGPT!

Fine, just don't block me. I like Anglophone Russia a lot! ;)

I think I'm not making myself clear. What I am critiquing is when someone explicitly states they're following Genette and then use his categories in a sloppy or downright inaccurate manner.

Simply *not* saying you're following Genette at the outset would go a long way. There's a lot of good literature on paratextuality that goes beyond Genette's structuralism and perhaps that could be invoked as a conceptual framework of choice.

What I object to is citing him and then twisting his categories all the while referring to them as Gennetean. The example you mention is imho absolutely valid; Patrick Andrist has done a masterful job recontextualising Gennetean framework for MS study.

The US would profit greatly from NHS, methinks.

I'd love that, Mark. Sending you a DM!

You're being too humble, but yes @goodacre.bsky.social is definitely the guru I want to learn from!
