@AEnjoyer447201 I really don’t know. My work focuses less on identifying the “historical” figures of particular texts and more on showing how various threads relate. Sorry to punt!

@MadisonPierce What do you think of the identity of the son of man in 1 enoch and 4 ezra?
Sorry if these are questions are too much!

Writing a book about messiahs…
In light of the complexity of this topic (IMHO), the scariest verse for me to try and understand is Hebrews 6:1—“granting the basic message about the messiah.”
What is the shared kernel among the traditions? (This is rhetorical.)
English
Oh, and that’s the “Pierce Standard Version.” I know most think 6:1 refers to the “basic message about [Jesus] Christ,” but I highly doubt it. You’ll see someday when this is finished. 😅

I hit this one in my commentary today. I’m going to write something and hope Future Madison either agrees or fixes it with her greater understanding. 😁

I’ve had a fun stretch of chatting with prospective students!
Self-funded students could still apply (soon) for 2026. (I’ve got one spot left.)
Students wanting funding via the Uni or other orgs would need to wait until 2027. And you should contact potential supervisors soon.

As of today, I am able to accept PhD students at the University of St Andrews. If you or one of your students are interested, @divinitysta is a wonderful place to study. All potential supervisors (including me!) are listed here with topics of interest: st-andrews.ac.uk/divinity/prosp…

I'm delighted to share that I've accepted a full-time position as visiting professor of biblical and theological studies at Midwestern Seminary (@MBTS). I'm excited and eager to help train the next generation of pastors alongside an excellent faculty!

I don’t always make it back to Miami, but when I do, I eat pan Cubano and drink cafe con leche. 🇨🇺

This was true in my case and the cases of so many others who experienced abuse at the hands of “trusted leaders™️ it’s like they all run the same playbook

Most people are not malicious. They are uninformed, hesitant, conflict-averse, or unwilling to pay the cost of accountability. But some are. They know what they are doing. They rely on a simple advantage: people of good faith are slow to assign bad faith to the actions of the malevolent.

@womeninchurch I hope all goes smoothly with your move—save the phenomenon’s best efforts!
English
@MadisonPierce Oh, that happened to me so it's definitely a phenomenon...
English
We're moving house today, and like clockwork yesterday I got one request to review proofs and one to copyedit a chapter.
Do we have a name for this phenomenon? It's like a subset of Murphy's Law within the academy.

Okay, NT scholars: What are the journal timelines y'all have encountered recently (say within the last 18 months)?

Reasons to use an em dash:
1) reclaim it from the machines
2) you don't know what a semicolon is for
3) it has incredible vibes

@JonRobinNZ Ah, thank you!!!

@womeninchurch Maybe I should send around some current trip vouchers! 🤣

@MadisonPierce I hit the jackpot as Reviewer 2 was on vacation😉

@FellipeDoVale1 I mean, theology is easy, so that checks out. 😉 Add some charts, and then you have rigor.
English
@MadisonPierce Not NT, but I'm about to submit to one that boasts 13 days (!).
English
@pj_wils The whole timeline is somewhat important, but especially time to decision. I’ve got a piece that I’ve presented on a few times, and others are starting to make similar claims. I don’t want to get scooped!
English
@ProfChrisMJones It’s the “not giving up meeting together” to which they appeal, and so yeah, effectively, it’s “if you fail to meet together, no turning back…” 😬
English
My recent work engages the “relapse” theory, a name that today implies Judaism is analogous to addictions.
TIL Hebrews 10:25 is used by various support communities to encourage attendance at anon meetings. I think that conceptual overlap is very interesting!
English
@mattemeyer JSNT was really quick with my recent article too. (Congratulations on yours! It is a great piece of work.)
English
@MadisonPierce @thedglove JSNT - article spent 5 months in peer review, then it took about 5-6 weeks to publish online after final acceptance.
