It's DARWIN DAY! My only opportunity to pump my @ivpacademic.bsky.social book on Darwin and Scripture's views of natural selection. www.ivpress.com/what-hath-da...

Mea culpa.

We really need to take the amazingly low crime rates into account in all these rage-baits.

I commend this to you. It did not disappoint – thank you @drujohnson.com

Freshly contracted for @ivpacademic.bsky.social: 'Jesus Thought' (working title) by @drujohnson.com about the philosophical practices of Jesus in the tradition of the Hebrew Bible.

Book launch, Holland, MI, Nov 3 (RSVP at this link: www.facebook.com/events/15901...)

If you've never heard or read Andy Judd before, then you are in for a TREAT! Also, I enjoyed making fun of Ausies for the first few minutes too (mockery is only available in the audio version). youtu.be/-A6xBeuKNtc?...

One WEEK FROM TODAY! Hope family and friends can stop by and wish the old man a happy 80th!

The coming issue of Philosophia Christi contains a symposium on my Cambridge University Press book with Esther Lightcap Meek, Michael W. Austin, Dolores Griffin Morris, and Ryan Mullins. What an ensemble!

You can now pre-order my book: UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL LAW (if you are so inclined). bakeracademic.com/p/Understand...

WOW! Ryan Mullins dedicated an entire episode to extending the basic thesis of my book BIBLICAL PHILOSOPHY into the doctrine of God (& the sassy objections at the end had me LOL'ing on my walk to work this morning). "If Johnson is correct, classical theism is wrong." open.spotify.com/episode/2q27...

Using the lens of police training, I talk about why the Old Testament (and NT too) might teach a special love for family (as JD Vance suggested) that trains us to love the outsider, even when we're forcefully arresting them (what Vance didn't consider). hebraicthought.org/police-refor...

We cleaned up the audio problems and reposted. youtu.be/lQ9TDZND8Lo?...

A short argument for LISTENING TO rather than READING the Bible. This is a summary of the paper I gave at a conference (SBL/AAR 2024) titled: "The Audible Word as a Place: Recovering the Natural Habitat of Scripture" youtu.be/uJkT5MnI0dw?...

Rabbi Shai Held talks about prioritizing love for one's family over loving the person in another country. IDK JD Vance's political point, but don't throw the baby out w/ the bath water by Christian knee-jerks regarding the Torah's commands to love! youtu.be/F0c0Nty2IuQ?...

I have been profoundly enjoying doing these interviews for The Biblical Mind. This is another banger with @matthewhalsted.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRDv...

In English, com legendas em português! All great questions from Brazilian scholars. Answers were meh. youtu.be/Xcahmf-QoZo?...

I'm very proud to be a professor in this program. It's made me re-learn how to teach, which has been good. youtu.be/XkDYgd_Okf4?...

This is bait to go watch the whole episode (or listen to it!). www.youtube.com/shorts/mxWqN...

This is the podcast we needed. @paulthomasloan and @lllogannnnn keep it short and sweet, but sisters and brothers, do NOT miss the truths they are laying down! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

Ari Lamm arguing why Joseph wasn't actually sold into slavery by his brothers in Genesis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bJ4...

And THIS is exactly why I struggled in the UK for the first year (not with my own supervisor). Anglophilic postgrads be warned!

You gotta respect an English manor estate that allows visitors, just not dogs or children.

Besides @carmenjoyimes's work, who else did I miss? www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0cd...

I finally talk about what I think is good/commendable and what is problematic about public intellectual discourse on the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (in the 2nd half): Jordan Peterson, Wes Huff, Dan McClellan (and Chris Watkin). youtu.be/ranOs-paKdE?...

Congrats to Heiko Schulz and Jean Pierre-Fortin on this @degruyterbrill.bsky.social volume! It's been a long time coming. I never feel more out of my league than when writing on this topic.

IDK what's going on, but my @cambridgeup.bsky.social book from 2021 has been selling really well the last month (This is Amazon's "religious studies" rank. Someone using it as a course text????

A lovely eulogy to Clinton Bailey, scholar and friend of the Bedouins. blogs.timesofisrael.com/remembering-...

Quite an opportunity! Getting paid to work as a scholar for BibleProject. bibleproject.com/fellowship-p...

Now it is a real thing. It will hit shelves soon.

It seems like the modern Hebrew speakers had more trouble than your average seminarian who only knows the Hebrew Bible. Fascinating! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y5H...

If you listen to the OnScript Podcast, then you know that we ask every scholar we interview: "What was the most influential books in biblical studies in the last 50 years?" The work of Richard Hays, may his memory be blessed, was one of the most cited answers.

Just saw the news that Clinton Bailey died. May his memory be blessed. If you don't know his work, here's an OnScript interview I did with him a few years ago. onscript.study/bedouin-cult...

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY to my dad. He's been through some things, but has always been a faithful servant of God throughout. He has been a fountain of wisdom for me & everyone around him. And now, he'll officially be a great-grandfather any day now. HERE'S TO 80 MORE!

It's been over a year since Celina and I published this surprisingly controversial article with @christianitytoday.com. (Also, it's NOT click-bait if we frankly talk about the topic in the title of the article.) www.christianitytoday.com/2023/03/quit...
