- Can't wait to present two papers at @sblsite.bsky.social in Boston: 'John and Bar Kokhba: A Hadrianic Date for the Fourth Gospel' in the Connecting John unit; and 'Macho Markan Man: Jesus as the "Strong Man" in Mark 3:27' in Rhetoric and Early Christianity. Should be fun, if a little controversial!

- Why tell a story about a Messiah who travels to Jerusalem only to be killed? If you're in London, come along to my lecture at @kcltrs.bsky.social this Wednesday on how the early Gospels - beginning with Mark - anachronistically explain the fall of Jerusalem by narrating Jesus' death in the city.
- Excited to start my new role as Lecturer in Bible, Gender and the Arts at @kcltrs.bsky.social! I'll be giving my debut lecture this week in the biblical studies seminar on 'Why Jerusalem Fell in 70 CE according to Josephus, the Apocalypses, the Rabbis and the Gospels'. www.kcl.ac.uk/people/natha...
