Stuff culled from Monday (and last week).
- Iyov reports that 5 professors are leaving my alma mater. I have been rather critical of Harvard Divinity and some of its hiring practices. It will be interesting to see what happens to HDS in the coming years.
- David Lang talks about his “Translational Journey.”
- Loren Rosson III discusses “Being in the Minority.” I rather like being in the minority, personally. It makes me feel like David facing Goliath!
- Chris Weimer jumps into the “Jew or Judean” fray. I am partial to the use of “Judean” myself.
- Check out Lingamish’s “Grasshopper Greek: Seeing Double.”
- John over at Ancient Hebrew Poetry offers us what we really want to know: “Victoria Beckham’s Hebrew Tattoo Patiently Explained.” I am so thankful that he patiently did that for me.
There’s a few items to chew on for now!
Don’t get me wrong, Judean is most certainly appropriate many times over. Perhaps even most of the time. I was referring specifically to a) different nationals who subscribe to the faith of the ioudaios, and b) the characterization of the ioudaioi by Christian separatists. I’ll post more surely soon for clarification.
