OT/HB PhD specializing in Jeremiah, adjunct prof | “Be joyful though you have considered all the facts... Practice resurrection.” -Wendell Berry | slow-DM-checker
On Friday, I successfully defended my dissertation, “Desolate, it Mourns to Me—All the Land is Desolate, But No One Takes it to Heart: Jeremiah’s Ecotheology.” I am so excited to enter the world of biblical scholarship as a PhD!

Looks like I’ll be presenting a paper in the Biblical Hebrew Poetry section at SBL this fall!
I can’t wait! Are any of my friends here also presenting? I’d love to show up and support!

Does anyone know this Bacon citation?
I’m trying to stash some sources for the day I write the introduction of my dissertation and this would be a great addition.
This book is “Ecology and Theology of Nature,” edited by Hogan, Vila-Chã, and Orobator

It's possible that the 7 Marys in the New Testament and Miriam in the Old Testament were really called Mariam. I look at all these women and their names here.

Paul is great because he’ll be like, “women need long hair because of THE ANGELS” and then he’ll pivot to, “OF COURSE YOU KNOW that Jesus followed Israel around as a walking water rock”. You just never really know where he’s going next, or why, and I love that for him and us.

The fourth scroll dated to the Early Hellenistic period in DJD is 4Q70 (4QJeremiah a). Dated variously to the late 3rd or early 2nd century BCE, this ms contains text from the first half of Jeremiah and good evidence of scribal corrections
