what if, as a bit, Lynn Cohick and I started a podcast on New Testament and theology?
Recorded 3 eps today. “Footnotes” coming your way soon.

*CALL FOR PAPERS*
I'm excited to share info for @HoustonTheoSem's April 2024 conference on *Jesus within Judaism: The Law and Its Interpretation in the Gospels and Early Judaism*
We meet Apr 10-11, 2024 in Houston (hybrid). Our planned keynote is Yair Furstenberg. Info below!
ALT The focus of the conference will be on the interpretation of the Law as variously presented in the New Testament Gospels. Prof Yair Furstenburg (Hebrew University) will offer keynote on “Jesus and the Law” and participate in panel moderated by Paul T. Sloan. We invite proposals for papers on the topic of the interpretation of the Mosaic Law in early Judaism, especially but not exclusively regarding matters that intersect with the legal debates present in the Gospels. We are interested in papers that explore the different interpretations expressed among Jewish texts (HB/LXX, 2TJ, and early rabbinic) and how these intersect with the narrative and legal material of the Gospels, including inter alia matters of ritual purity, criminal/civil law, sabbath, etc. Papers + Q/A will be allotted 45 minutes. Submit proposals of no more than 500 words to [email protected] by Dec 31, 2023. Decisions will be conveyed in January 2024. Participation may be in person/online. $30 in-person and $10 online.

Interested in questions on Jesus and the Law? One of our own - Paul Sloan - offers a 15 min explanation on why "legalism" and other tropes aren't accurate descriptions of Jesus' interaction with the Pharisees, and he offers an alternative. Check it out.

if you’re interested in about 15 min of why I don’t think “legalism” etc are good categories for describing Jesus’ controversies with the Pharisees (and other “Jesus and the Law” type stuff), here ya go!

feels like there's been an uptick in faith/works chatter, so what better time to tune into to our next @HoustonTheoSem Theology Seminar with @juliemleyva, delivering "By Faith Abraham Believed God: Reckoning with Abraham's Faith in Paul, Hebrews, and James."
