Something to look forward to even as we dread the beginning of the semester: NASSCAL First Friday Workshop with Melissa Harl Sellew!

Hey gang! It’s my birthday so I got you a present: an all new episode featuring a discussion with Tony Burke and Janet Spittler of NASSCAL to talk about their new volume of little-seen apocrypha! apocrypals.libsyn.com/multipals-04-t… cc Chris Sims Pope Leo XIV

Added to e-Clavis: Materiae apocryphorum ~ Martyrdom of Thecla Limestone, compiled by Katie Fuentes and Christy Cobb. nasscal.com/materiae-apocr…

Looking back to the July 24th presentation of 'Paul, Christian Textuality, and the Hermeneutics of Late Antiquity' Festschrift! Honouring Margaret Mitchell in Vienna, with insightful essays by D Moessner, P Duff, J B Spittler, and R M Calhoun. To the book: brill.ws/festschriftmit…

EXCLUSIVE | Written before the formation of a New Testament or even the widespread recognition of a collection of Christian sacred scripture, this fragmentary page from a small ancient book offers a rare glimpse into the minds of early Christians. trib.al/P2lAzL3

I have started an entry on e-Clavis for the new “sayings of Jesus” papyrus. Will keep updating it as the discussion develops. nasscal.com/e-clavis-chris…

The editors of #POxy5575 compare it to the hand of P.Oxy. 4009 and I must say they look very similar to me. Interestingly, some think P.Oxy. 4009 is from the Gospel of Peter but that is much debated. See here gospelmanuscripts.wordpress.com/greek-mss/p-ox…

Added to e-Clavis: Manuscripta apocryphorum ~ Mardin, Church of the Forty Martyrs, 253 (13/14 c.) feat. Story of Clement (epitome of Ps.-Clem.), Ep. Dionysius to Timothy, excerpt from Acts Thecla. nasscal.com/manuscripta-ap…

Added to e-Clavis: Manuscripta apocryphorum ~ Baghdad, Chaldean Patriarchate of Baghdad, 377 (1894) feat. Epistle of Lentulus and Epistle of Pilate to Claudius. nasscal.com/manuscripta-ap…

My reading during today’s commute: the proofs for Jacob Lollar’s excellent volume in NASSCAL’s Early Christian Apocrypha series. Fingers crossed that this will be available at SBL in November. NASSCAL
