PSA: if a woman or minority scholar expresses concern that their work will not be accepted at a conference, do not say that they have a good chance because everyone wants diversity nowadays. This is not the encouragement you think it is.

My fav professor once passed on this advice from his Doktorvater: if you mainly read secondary literature, you'll be a secondary scholar. Will devote myself mainly to these for the next 5 years (before anyone gets worried, I'll be accessing HB and Greek LXX on Bible software)

The post is misleading though bc it implies that the bottom is what Dresden looks like today, whereas in reality the part of the city in the top pic looks the same today. The "Altstadt" was rebuilt to its former Baroque beauty & glory. (pic from last summer)

It boggles my mind that someone can in all seriousness claim that parts of the NT were mistranslated when they have never studied Greek...like how do they not realize they do not have the skills required to make that claim?
Hey, i have never studied math but 1 + 1 is not 2!!!

@jenniferguo
Μετά is a preposition, so the word itself does not have cases. In Hellenist Greek μετά may take a genitive, in which case it means "with"; it also may take the accusative, and then it is "after". /1

Ok, the cellphone app "Office Lens" is an academic game-changer!! We've probably all taken pictures of book pages with our phone when we don't need enough to make scanning worth it...Office Lens can actually strip the text and put it in a word doc in your onedrive!

when I read a PDF with endnotes, I use the snipping tool to snip the notes and then have that side by side with the doc....I think this is pretty genius? or is it common sense and I'm just late to the game?

I really love how scholars in biblical studies are usually so generous about sharing their work. I saw in a volume releasing this December an essay relevant to my work this semester and emailed yesterday asking if he'd be willing to send me the proofs. He sent it to me today!

I've gotten a lot of new followers from recent response to mansplaining. I don't usually respond with that kind of arrogant, "here are my creds" kind of way.
I'm just a bib studies/language nerd who wins all the book giveaways, loves corny puns, & cares abt (racial) injustice.

Any bib/theo PhD students interested in having some Zoom gatherings? Obviously if you have community in your programs, that's great...we are all tired of Zoom. But wondering if there are ppl who don't, for whom Zoom would be better than nothing.

I have also been trying to figure out how to talk about this. I am one of the victims.. This is what I have been subtweeting about all summer.
The worst thing, as far as the predator is concerned is, is that he couched his abuse and harassment in spiritual language.
Working on figuring out how to use my voice again now that I can’t be effectively silenced anymore. I’ll start with this: a fellow student that abused me and proceeded to abuse, assault, stalk, and sexually harass two of my friends has finally been dismissed from the school.
