Talmud for Everyone collaborated with the Bridge Builders Forum to produce this podcast that hopefully provides good education about the Talmud for the public at large: YouTube: youtu.be/E4ArqFO4uEc?... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Alonso Naranjo Arias is doing a wonderful, important work promoting critical biblical scholarship for Latin American audiences. Considering supporting and subscribing to his channel, Indagando En la la Biblia: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjLQ...

The word "mere" is not in the Greek text of Heb 9:24: "For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a *mere* copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf" (NRSVue).

The word "mere" is not in the Greek text of Heb 9:24: "For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a *mere* copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf" (NRSVue).

For those who were not able to attend the sessions on "Reading the NT within Judaism?", recordings are available on the Enoch Seminar YouTube Channel. Stay tuned for more this fall, since there will be a part 2 covering other works of early Christianity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEm9...

Why translate בני האלוהים as "heavenly beings" (so NRSVue) instead of "the sons of [the] god[s]" in Job 1:6?

Besides assessing the number of advertisements for new jobs, reports such as the one recently released by the Society of Biblical Literature should also consider the *closure* of tenured and tenure-track positions to get a better picture of the (very dire) situation of higher ed.

Jorge Jesus would have been a better choice.

For me, there are at least two takeaways from Pierluigi Piovanelli's new book on the historical Jesus (www.amazon.com/J%C3%A9sus-h... ).

Due to the interest generated by the online conference, “Reading the New Testament within Judaism?” (organizers: Gabriele Boccaccini and Isaac W. Oliver), this event will be divided into two parts.

The new pope is just as much a Latin American pope as he is a US American pope. As far as Jewish-Christian relations are concerned, the demographic centers of Christianity have been shifting for quite a while away from the North to the South and from the West to the East.
