I am glad to have contributed an essay here on subversive speech acts. It's open access and addresses important new conversations in Empire criticism and NT. Check it out!

With contributions by me on Narratology Justin Winzenburg (@winzenj.bsky.social) on Speech Act Theory Laura J. Hunt on Semiotics Erin M. Heim on Metaphor Theories Christopher A. Porter on Social Identity Theory Nils Neumann on Historical Psychology ...

This just went into production. It's a game-changer. @laurarbnsn.bsky.social @winzenj.bsky.social

Anyone know the best libraries in Rome for biblical and theological resources in English?

I'm also excited to share that I will be contributing a volume in the New Testament after Supersessionism Series (Cascade), tentatively called Reading James after Supersessionism: A Letter to Diaspora Synagogues. This project will be fun!

In case you're interested, I have an essay coming out on how speech theory can help to evaluate whether the New Testament was critical of the Roman Empire in an edited volume by @christophheilig.bsky.social on Methodologies of NT Empire Criticism. Also includes a great list of contributors.

@ryancollman.bsky.social & @smehorn.bsky.social is there an easy way for US scholars to get temporary library access to Edinburgh New College over the summer for research?
