If you are mobile and want to do research related to this theme, this is a great opportunity. Matthijs is a great person to work with (as are the other biblical studies people on faculty there!), Radboud is a great place to work, and Nijmegen is a great place to live, even if only temporarily.

📚 Out now! 🎉 In this volume, leading scholars draw on 'epistolarity’ to explore early Christian letters, revealing how they shaped thought patterns and continued to be re-read by later generations 📜
Congrats to Judith Lieu, Matthijs den Dulk, and all the contributors!

Jonge onderzoekers, d.w.z. promovendi, postdocs en tijdelijke docenten, zijn essentieel voor het onderwijs en onderzoek aan de universiteiten. Ze hebben het moeilijker dan ooit--en dat is geen onvermijdelijk natuurverschijnsel, daar zitten bestuurlijke en politieke keuzes achter.
