This is the academic me: all about collections of curiosities; John Donne; and digital humanities. That sort of thing. Mostly.

[Brent Nelson @brn097]

Very proud to be part of this project led by @shami_jeanne. This is a real accomplishment. Check it out, even if sermons aren't your jam.

The English mathematician & lay theologian Isaac #Newton died #OTD in 1726/7. GEMMS contains a sermon record for a @ransomcenter MS, written by Newton in the 1670s on 2 Kings 17:15-6 (HRC 130). He resumed his theological studies in his later years. Portrait: Godfrey Kneller, NPG.

[GEMMS_sermons (@gemms-sermons.bsky.social) @GEMMS_sermons]

#OTD in 1710 Henry Sacheverell was convicted for preaching an incendiary anti-Catholic sermon which also attacked nonconformists. GEMMS contains records for a contemporary French translation of this 1709 sermon (GEMMS-SERMON-007065) https://t.co/Cu6i98POSO…
