Very much looking forward to the book review panel of my book at 4pm today! It’s S22-336 if anyone’s interested. With superstars @drmjcwarren.bsky.social @brownsmith.bsky.social and Acacia Chan. #aarsbl25 #sblaar25

📣 UWS HAS RULED OUT COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES After 8 days of strike action from EIS, and a further 12 days planned from Monday which UCU were due to join, management has today announced that CR has been taken off the table 🎉

Managed to get a copy of “Judeophobia and the New Testament” by @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social, @evandeneykel.bsky.social & @drmjcwarren.bsky.social. Read most of part 1 already and there’s some great stuff in there, from a good mix of scholars.

Clanker this, tin skin that. We already have “toaster,” folks.

Book review by the one and only Paula Fredriksen, reviewing Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts. One line that made my editor’s heart sing: “Each essay is a jewel of careful exposition and of ethical reasoning.” www.sblcentral.org/home/bookDet...

I just want to tell a little story for you academics out there, especially the ones younger and more viral than I. I've published 3 books and an Element in my time, so I've been through that part of the process a lot. And here's something that happened already with my second book:

Now published! Sarah F. Porter (@portersf.bsky.social), “Writing to Paul: Using Interactive Fiction to Explore Early Christian Worlds.” tinyurl.com/PorterWritin...

P (5yo) has been asking for weeks to try coleslaw. Going on and on about how good he thinks coleslaw will be. I should have been suspicious but what do I know. I love coleslaw. Bought some cabbage, told him we could make it. He got all excited. KULFI. He wanted to try kulfi.

Women becoming like men was a major element in ancient Christian monasticism theconversation.com/christianity...

I can’t express how insulting and enraging it is to have the first “review” of a book I’m really proud of be AI-generated nonsense. Beware, the hallucinations in this “review” won’t give you an accurate preview of the book. tinyurl.com/AIGuySux @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social @evandeneykel.bsky.social

Today is the official publication day for Judeophobia and the New Testament! 🎉 And it looks it’s currently 20% off on Amazon UK amzn.eu/d/0SRs8Ib

enormous congratulations to @annetteyreed.bsky.social on her GUGGENHEIM! www.gf.org/stories/anno...

Received my copy of Judeophobia & the New Testament 😍 proud of my work here and of the hard work the editors did! My pieces are on Torah, the Law, & Judeophobia and on The Pharisees (with @drmjcwarren.bsky.social & Dr Sara Parks)

reminder: restricting student visas even more is morally wrong (because immigration is good), politically stupid (because the far right will not be appeased), and economically disastrous (because the HE sector and all that surrounds it needs international students)

Your annual reminder that the Last Supper was not a Passover seder, Jesus’ experience of Passover was fundamentally different from ours, and if your church does a seder that’s gross cultural appropriation.

In case you don’t already hate Google’s automatic AI generated answers at the top of every search, here is some baked-in antisemitism for you! “While Jewish” is doing a lot of work there…!

Here’s a short post on the Eerdmans blog about @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social, @drmjcwarren.bsky.social, and my forthcoming book on Judeophobia and the New Testament. Available for preorder and shipping soon!

hey friends, so this book on judeophobia in early christian lit is coming out soon. our editors @evandeneykel.bsky.social @drmjcwarren.bsky.social and @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social did a stellar job getting this timely and critical volume out now. it's very teachable, friends! pre-order here:

Got my copy of Judeophobia and the New Testament (ed. @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social @evandeneykel.bsky.social @drmjcwarren.bsky.social)! Grateful to be part of this important volume on how the NT itself and its interpreters have furthered and combatted antisemitism

SO EXCITED to receive my copy of this important and accessible book! Proud of my contributions and grateful to @drmjcwarren.bsky.social, @evandeneykel.bsky.social, and @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social for the careful work they put into the book. Mazal tov to all the contributors!

The great @drmjcwarren.bsky.social spoke at Ferrum College today about Indigenous apocalypses and Revelation!

Glad to see this (very valuable and very compelling) resource in print, and excited to try it out in the classroom! My essay on 1, 2, and 3 John explores how the term "antichrists," coined in the Epistles of John, took dramatic, anti-Jewish turns in later centuries, fueling ugly conspiracies.

Just got my copy of Judeophobia and the New Testament w @evandeneykel.bsky.social & @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social. I am so proud & grateful to our contributors. I continue to be in awe at the careful, critical, & important work that went into each chapter. Thank you, & to Eerdmans for supporting us.

Check this out. Full of amazing articles on pretty much everything to do with the New Testament. Including an article on teaching Judeophobia in the seminary by ME.

Wtf is this ethnic cleansing in my hometown

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Watch this! Two eminently qualified academics talking about the rise and proliferation of fake-archaeology, and also their fave spec fiction :D

A colleague is looking for a contact to a concrete person to the Jewish Museum Singapore singaporejews.com/museum/

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling

Am I right that the Samaritan Woman is coming up in the liturgical schedule this year? If so and you want a copy of my article, Slut Shaming the Samaritan Woman, to help with sermon prep, let me know 😎
