Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #pseudepigrapha, aggregated by home.social.

  1. The Testament of Abraham is the most entertaining ancient lit I've read in a while. Pretty short, so I won't spoil. Someone should definitely make this into a musical

    This has been your weekly #pseudepigrapha recommendation.

  2. Who was the Biblical figure, Daniel? Why is the Book of Daniel written in Aramaic and Hebrew? What does "pseudepigrapha" mean? What did the Book of Daniel get right in "prophecy", what did it get wrong, and why is that important?

    Professors Joel Baden and John Collins discuss the Book of Daniel.

  3. Ok, time for a formal #introduction. Part of the great #twittermigration of '22, trying to get something settled here in the event of a Twitter crash-and-burn.
    I wrangle #Bible data for Faithlife/Logos for my day job. I've translated and/or edited: an edition of the #Greek New Testament (SBLGNT), a Bible #translation (LEB), the Apostolic Fathers (Lexham Press), Apocryphal Gospels (Lexham) and am contributing to a forthcoming translation of OT Pseudepigraphal material (Lexham).
    I've published transcriptions and translations of early Christian papyri called "Fragments of Christianity" (Appian Way Press); I've contributed to Tony Burke's NT Apocrypha volumes (Eerdmans).
    I am also researching and writing the Baylor (Press) Handbook on the Shepherd of Hermas. Besides all that, I have a minimal part-time gig wrangling data for Clear.Bible.
    Phew. So, interests include #apocrypha, #pseudepigrapha, #earlychristianity, #ancientlanguages, as well as #csharp and #python. Also #wct adjacent.

  4. OK, y'all. After a not-so-great experience at a mastodon server that crashed frequently, I've migrated to hcommons.social and think this will be a great fit. Interests? #apocrypha #hermas #pseudepigrapha #earlychristiaity #greek
