Thinking about the Bible and land. It's not a simple thing.

Again - contributed to media on appearance of Jesus, but the pic they have shows clean and tidy Jesus wearing a beige coat, not a coloured mantle! Skin not quite brown enough. They like the Neave reconstruction (no please not). Ah well!! @kingstrs

💥 We explore the story of this ancient ‘treasure map’! And why it’s so different to the rest of the Dead Sea Scrolls!

💥 What it says, how it was unravelled, the treasure + more!

@NTRight BC. Love it.

Q to Google AI: is the Gospel according to the Beloved Companion authentic? Answer: it's debated. Hmm. Google AI relies on Amazon reviews. Lots of people love this and believe it. Q to scholars: engage or not?

[Joan E. Taylor @profjoantaylor]

@MinasMonier Google AI relies on Amazon reviews on this one. But there really doesn't seem to be scholarly engagement out there despite the bold claim and widespread trust among readers. The only scholarly response is 🙄.

The Biblical Studies seminar series continues with Mina Monier, Norwegian School of Theology speaking on ‘A Quest for the Pericope Adulterae: A Historical Assessment of ibn Kabar and ibn al-'Assal's Notes’.

Well if people can do it to Jesus, they can do it to Bonhoeffer. Glad Bonhoeffer's family are able to speak out to defend his truth.

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

Great to see the Bonhoeffer family speaking out against the distortion of his life's work and its meaning.

Thank you for your @SNTS_org paper, @profjoantaylor! Looking forward to the book when it comes out!

Thanks Sarah. Looking forward! @kingstrs

I can’t express how much I love small seminars with pre-circulated papers. The HJ unit of @SNTS_org has had superb engagement so far. Looking forward to @profjoantaylor’s paper tomorrow, which is part of her book project on traditions about Jesus' youth/family.
