Many thanks to @BibArch for featuring my research! This article includes new information on John 11 that has never before been published (an incredible quotation from John Chrysostom plus ancient Christian artwork where Lazarus only has one sister). Enjoy!

@mdphdbfd @goodacre I wish I had time to write songs! (she writes as she is simultaneously grading a student presentation)

@mdphdbfd @maklelan Haha these days I write articles instead of albums (it uses the same part of my brain!) ;) But you can always hear the old albums! There are five of them on Apple Music.

@sg30875147 @1n44n6 @maklelan Here's another one that shows some important and relevant artwork

@1n44n6 @maklelan I've argued that Martha is a second-century editorial addition to John's Gospel. In my view, this ancient quotation of John 11:1 may reflect what the Evangelist actually wrote. Here's an accessible explanation:

@__EllieR__ Impossible to know for certain (just as in the Gospel of Mary), but the editor of the papyrus thinks it's most likely.

@TaylorPetrey I try ;)

RT @JamesMartinSJ: In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that help…

I should also mention that, as a Christian, I *do* believe the Biblical text is inspired, even in all its messiness :)

@pjgurry @MBTS Congrats Peter! This is great news. I'm also very glad that you and your family no longer need to live a third of your life in weather that's over 100 degrees 😅

Cradle Episcopalian here 💁‍♀️ If you liked Bishop Budde's sermon, consider checking out an Episcopal Church service tomorrow morning!

Helpful reel! (h/t Elise Hanley)

@rpollittsj Maybe this is what folks are *actually* worried about if women start getting ordained... 🤔

Focusing on happy news: two of @ChristianCent's most popular articles of 2024 were written by scholars in @VillanovaU's Theology and Religious Studies Department! (@BrandonAmbro and yours truly) Enjoy!

Many of you remember my friend Carson Cohen, who (superbly) played bass on my songs for upwards of a decade. His childhood home, where we sometimes met and practiced, has been lost in the Palisades fire. Please consider pitching into help his 87-yo mom.

This had me laughing out loud, even though it's horribly sad: “What could be more masculine and cool than selling out vulnerable communities and women to impress the alpha male?”

@samdubbelman You read WAY more books than I do. I was extremely proud to have read two whole books over the holiday!

@Jonathan_Tallon @papyrologyatman That was indeed a shocking episode, especially when the full truth comes out (@papyrologyatman does a nice job of keeping us on the edge of our seats to the end 😉)
