#scholars — Public Fediverse posts

"A newly #published #diary of #SamuelBeckett’s extended trip to #Nazi #Germany in the late 1930s helps to explain why the #NobelPrize-winning #Irish #author became active in the #Resistance movement in Occupied #France. Already discussed and cited by #Beckett #scholars in such studies as Samuel #Beckett’s #GermanDiaries 1936–1937, the new #book explains how the creator of #WaitingforGodot, that dramatization of stasis and futility, could turn out to be a man of action opposing the #Holocaust and the downfall of German culture.

At a time when only an estimated 1% or so of #French citizens dared to assist the Resistance, Beckett was from neutral #Ireland, where sympathies were often skewed to the enemies of the much-loathed #British. But he risked his life to participate."

Description:

Nafisa has so much love to give — and she wants to spend every moment with her Ummi, even when Ummi is busy… cooking, cleaning, and working.

But as Nafisa grows, she learns that finding joy sometimes means playing alone — even when Ummi can’t join in.
A gentle, loving story about patience, independence, and the special bond between a mother and her child.

In addition, the #State Dept is reviewing the applications of about 1,200 scholars from other countries who have already been approved by the board to come to the #UnitedStates, the people said. Those foreign #scholars were also supposed to receive acceptance letters around April.

The board approved those scholars over the winter after a yearlong selection process, & the #State Dept was supposed to send acceptance letters by April, the people said. 🚨🚨🚨 But instead, the board learned that the office of public *diplomacy* at the agency had begun sending REJECTION letters to the #scholars based mainly on their #research topics, they said.

#Christian #apologist #FrankTurek likes to quote renowned #Bible #scholar Dr #BartEhrman to back up his points... the trouble is that seemingly every time he's misrepresenting the professor's points. #DrEhrman joins me to review his actual positions.

#DeadSeaScrolls: What #Apologists Hope You'll Never Find Out (feat. Dr James Tabor)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK9a8TPFYdQ

#Christian apologist #JoshMcDowell irresponsibly overstates what the Dead Sea Scrolls can tell us about #OldTestament reliability. Dr John Bergsma insists that #JohntheBaptist and several of #Jesus' disciples were part of the #DeadSeaScroll group. Meanwhile, Dr Craig Evans insists that any notion of Jesus parallels are rejected by #scholars and outside the mainstream.

The Man Who Found 30,000 #Differences in the #Bible (with Dr. #BartEhrman)

An Oxford #Biblescholar named #JohnMill found over 30,000 variants in the extant #Biblical manuscripts in 1707. His published work on this started a controversy that has lasted to this day. #Christian #apologists and non-sectarian #scholars alike can thank Mill for the energy that his work added to their fields.

It is kind of shocking to me to still see some people speaking poorly of the #NIV #Bible (saying it went liberal w/ the 2011 update). Oftentimes it is by people who don't know a lick of #Hebrew or #Greek, though there are, admittedly, some people who should know better doing this as well.

If you have heard some of those criticisms and are wondering if the NIV actually is a good translation, here's a list of solid #evangelical #scholars who all commend the NIV.
