For those who have recently submitted work to the Journal of Biblical Literature, might you be willing to share your review timelines? I’d be grateful for a sense of others’ experience, either on this thread or by DM. #aarsbl #sblaar

the book is a short meta-commentary on how, in the Latin West, biblical commentaries and history grew entangled from the start and how modern historiography has blinded us to this -- trapping 20th/ 21st c scholars in a 19th-c paradigm that actually obscures the Middle Ages 2/3

sometimes, in talking about medieval stuff in public, I forget to mention that i published this (short) academic book recently too. thread 1/3 #medievalsky

The ICS is sponsoring two online sessions at #NAPS2026 on Clothing and Meaning-Making in Early Christianity.

As I revamp my Ancient & Medieval slavery ⛓️ seminar for the fall, I wanted to note that my fav. book this year so far is Katharine Huemoeller's _The Child Follows the Womb: Gender, Reproduction, and Roman Slavery_ www.jstor.org/stable/jj.37... (access it here or buy through @yalebooks.bsky.social).

I assign Sonja’s public pieces on the modern fad for AI reconstructions of portraits all the time when I teach Roman portraiture. Portraits aren’t Polaroids. There’s real harm in these studies.

Many belated thanks to @jeremiahcoogan.bsky.social for hosting a really great event in San Francisco & editing this special issue where I could point out just some of things that were wrong in my previous work & start a discussion about Early Christian genres with Beyoncé.
