This is amazing!
And finally if your #ClassicsBluesky #AncientBluesky Starter Pack is not on the List of Lists and you’d like it to be, let me know.
The Bluesky List of Lists
Or, more accurately, the List of Starter Packs (but that just doesn't sound as good, does it?). After discovering that 150 slots is clearly not enough for a full 'Ancient Mediterranean Studies'...

Folks, if you are interested in biblical studies (broadly construed) on Bluesky, I've created a starter pack. It's *non-comprehensive* (you can only add 150 accounts), so apologies to anyone left off!

This looks fantastic - can't wait for it to be out in the world!
We have a cover!!! The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Monsters is in production. We tried to put together articles that would foster a dialogue between traditional scholarship and more contemporary monster/horror. Now it's waiting, and preparing for the fun that will be proofing and indexing.

I forgot to introduce myself when I joined a while ago! I'm a biblical scholar that researches monsters, liminal cosmic zones, with a new found love for biblical works of art.
