Dr. Nick Elder

I’ve taught first-semester freshman, grandparents, and most folks in between. You want to know what teaching tactic everyone responds to? Caring for them as human beings.

My department is hiring a church historian. The position is open-rank (though presumes some ecclesial commitments). Please send all your pleasant and likable church historians our way. higheredjobs.com/faculty/detail…

@jenniferguo Oh absolutely yes every single time

Does this song title make anyone think about the Greek demonstrative pronoun or is it just me 😂 Cc @nick_elder, the only Twitter Brand New fan I'm aware of

@Frostinthepines And so it began…

The Memory Palace podcast has made my life better, and I anticipate this book will as well. Pre-ordered.

The beautiful, historic home two doors down from mine (in an historic neighborhood) is sold by a family to s company that intends to make it a full time AirBnB. About this I should feel…

Happy Friday to everyone else who has remastered twenty-five-year-old Kansas emo pop punk in their ears

Course prep for “The Bible and Media” is going great; thanks for asking.

I had the good fortune to appear on @BibleTimeMach to talk about my work on the gospels and the field of biblical studies. Please check it out and my thanks to Dave and Helen for being such excellent hosts! 🤓 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rea…

One of my favorite ways to begin teaching first year Greek is to have students write out: ἀρχὴ μεγίστη τοῦ φρονεῖν τὰ γράμματα. At this stage, students don't know what these words mean (or even how the letters are properly formed). /1

Anybody assign an introductory reading on Rewritten Bible that they particularly like for teaching?

Anyone else really, really looking forward to all the Tim-Walz-midwestern-dad jokes on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me this weekend?

@sarazonah This piece is compelling, clear, and ever relevant. I assign it for several different undergraduate and seminary courses that I teach wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/e…

It's my first official week as the new Senior Producer of Religion and Spirituality at NPR, and I'm working on compiling some resources for reporters. What are your favorite pieces of religion journalism from the last 10 years or so? (Especially audio!)

@IanNelsonMills I’m for it. No one is going to be upset about getting a personal email that reads “I really respect you and your work; would you considering endorsing mine?”

Should I write to ask permission to list someone's name (for the publisher) as a potential endorsement for my book?

My SBL 2023 paper turned into an article is officially published and thankfully accessible with open source @Avar_TNP! I wrote on the pilegesh of Judges 19 as abject, but in more ways than normally discussed.

I’m bringing a class-action lawsuit against Hasbro.
