Bravo Foi & Vie pour ce numéro sur les Actes des Apôtres - cf. mon article sur le rôle intrigant de Gamaliel devant le Sanhédrin comme un 'sage conseiller' dans l'historiographie grecque. Et Luc devant ses lecteurs, aussi un 'sage conseiller'? www.foi-et-vie.fr/archive/revi... #classics #bible

We #aarsbl25 received a very kind compliment from an employee at the Marriott Copley Place regarding our conference participants: 'This is the nicest group!'😊👋🏽🙏🏼

Very stimulating book panel on Steve Walton’s commentary on the Acts of the Apostles with Steve Walton and respondents Luke Mcnamara, David Horrell and Loveday Alexander at the Acts seminar of the British New Testament Conference in Manchester #bnts25

Well (just as in 2024) the 2025 biblical studies job market opens up with a bang(er): Princeton Theological Seminary seeks a scholar of the New Testament at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor! @ptseminaryiym.bsky.social @sblsite.bsky.social ptsem.edu/wp-content/u...

What a pleasure to participate in the Celtic Conference in Classics at Coimbra University (Portugal)! I gave my presentation in the first slot so I can now relax and enjoy the papers and this beautiful city🙌🏼 #classics

What a blessing to have all this support for my ordination as priest (in curacy) at St Ursula's Church Berne of the Diocese in Europe. (BTW I keep my job at @unifr.bsky.social in the Biblical studies department!).

A fun chat with Daniel Mikkelsen @greek_nt youtu.be/C7HuqhuEE7E?...

Fantastic resource; I wonder if BBC even has this…!👏👏👏

Thucydides, religion, and the divine? Here's my bit... "Le dilemme herméneutique de Thucydide: Comment décrire la guerre du Péloponnèse sans parler du divin comme Homère et Hérodote?", a chapter in this delightful Festschrift in honour of Philippe Lefebvre @unifr. amzn.eu/d/ghfAeya

My interview with Steve Walton about his new commentary on the Acts of the Apostles (1:1–9:42). Classicists of all types (which includes biblical scholars!) will benefit from the depth of Steve's teaching and research! Thanks for your support and forbearance of my channel youtu.be/DZlpL-bpu98?...

Has anyone used this reader and want to comment on it?

Time to relax a little🙌🏼 - a huge thanks to everyone who encouraged me in my Habilitation project!

Here’s a very helpful list of open-access resources for the #Classics! antigonejournal.com/helps/

Very happy to share this remarkable research tool by my colleague @unifr Innocent Himbaza: Manuel de la Bible hébraique: BHS, BHQ academia.edu/109392461/In... via @academia #hebrew #hebrewbible

Ouch…a bit too close to home… « Some people may be clever enough to teach many, and yet be useless to themselves. » ἔστιν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος πολλῶν παιδευτής, καὶ τῇ ἰδίᾳ ψυχῇ ἐστιν ἄχρηστος. (Ecclesiasticus / Book of Sirach 37.19 )

Need a study/writing break? I love the beginning of Marc Johnson's album "Bass Desires," which opens with a killer intro in "Crossing the Corpus Callosum". Intriguing title with intricate mixing. Best heard with headphones 😉(The rest of the album is a little more 'normal'.)

A clip of Sting explaining the therapeutic function of the 'bridge' in song composition. youtube.com/clip/Ugkxncp...

Another bit of publicity for Bluesky; this time from the formidable Allman Brothers: « You’re my Blue Sky, you’re my sunny day; Lord, you know, it makes me high when you turn your love my way, turn your love my way. » youtu.be/wwyXQn9g40I?...

Good publicity from a U2 song (Indian Summer Sky) heard today: Will light a way Up toward the sky It's a blue sky To lose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to fade On this the longest day
