I want to retool my Intro NT course by framing the texts as political theology. What are the best secondary sources on NT in/and empire? (I'm thinking of things like apocalyptic as anti-imperial worldview, use of terms like basileia, ekklesia, gospel, etc.)

Talk to me about the so-called "Great Persecution." Where are scholars on the impetus for Diocletian's edicts? (Esp. the new addition of book burning.) Has the Neo-Platonic influence become consensus?

Does anyone know what happened to the Campbell Bonner Amulet database? (formerly: cbd.mfab.hu) Has it be moved elsewhere? Or is it just gone??

Do not fund this sham of a government. Musk has gutted everything worth saving. @chuckschumer.com is selling us out.
Withholding your votes is the only card Dems have. Represent us, please!

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

This is the face of a puppy who doesn’t want to wait an hour for her lunchtime treat.
It is also the face of a puppy who reminds me that time is a human construct that doesn’t need to determine when lunchtime treats should be given.

I know mortality rates in the pre-modern world are little more than educated guesses, but does anyone know what the guesstimate is for maternal mortality in late antiquity?

Supporting Ukraine is not a Rorschach test. It is an open book True/False for anyone who paid any attention to 20th century European history.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t real hard choices about what to do but forced surrender with a knife in the back is so obviously not it.

Not exactly post worthy, but I thought you would ❤️ her for it.

Not just deserve. Weather monitoring, disease management, and food safety are services we pay for from the government that are being stolen from us.

I’m not Catholic and so have no ecclesiological dog in the game, but I just can’t with a progressive (for a Catholic) pope dying or stepping down. The winds are not moving in favor of democracy, and I just can’t think about a conservative Pope taking the reins right now.

When you study religion, people often assume you study all religions at all times and in all places. Also, you can pull the most obscure data from your middle aged brain at any moment.
This is how I am talking to my PoliSci friends now.
Apologies for being _that_ person.

I know this sounds dumb, but what if the Trump administration took a minute to find out who they are about to fire? It’s super inefficient to have to track them down to rehire them.
