@LasseB2519555 @AEnjoyer447201 @edwwong @crispinfl Yup

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

My first article with @edwwong at JSOT is accepted! Hooray!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@nggeoff Great book! I actually will assign this as textbook. Thanks!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

Ok academic Twitter is not the same anymore, but I guess it’s worth a shot here. If there are any academics left around, I’m teaching a course on Mark this coming semester. I’d welcome recommendations for a book chapter or journal article. TIA!

@LasseB2519555 @AEnjoyer447201 @edwwong @crispinfl But I agree with Mastin that in Hellenistic context, it can be interpreted as “divine benefactor cult.”

@LasseB2519555 @AEnjoyer447201 @edwwong @crispinfl I am taking Millard and more recently, Buster and Walton’s position. I think they are right to say in Hebrew and Aramaic it is more “royal obeisance” than cultic worship.

@AEnjoyer447201 Any recommendations are welcomed!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@MiriamJane5 Thanks! I am using that book as part of my lecture material! Great book!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@Alfredovich65 @AEnjoyer447201 Thanks! Let’s see if it’s possible to publish it somewhere.

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

Excited to announce that my book is coming out in Sept!

@MichaelPBarber @Baylor_Press Thank you!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@MichaelPBarber @Baylor_Press Thanks! It’s actually a mixed MDiv/BTh class. I usually run a weekly tutorial session on top of lectures, where we read and discuss an article or book chapter together over the semester (14 weeks), so I’m very open to recommendations. I’ll definitely check those out.

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@AEnjoyer447201 That was the plan but I ran out of words! So Melchizedek and self glorification hymn got cut out.

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@AEnjoyer447201 @edwwong For MT probably no. But for LXX I believe so. The argument is almost the same as @crispinfl. The contribution of the article is asking why is it that way.

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@rim_manse @edwwong Thank you!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@chonkshonk1 I know nothing about Quran, sorry!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@AEnjoyer447201 Kirk’s work is helpful. But my scope and definition are different than his work. Hope you will enjoy it!

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@ReligionProf Thank you Dr McGrath! You can still read it in Sept! 😉

[Daniel Lam @lam_daniel]

@rim_manse Thank you! Looking forward to yours too!
