Again - contributed to media on appearance of Jesus, but the pic they have shows clean and tidy Jesus wearing a beige coat, not a coloured mantle! Skin not quite brown enough. They like the Neave reconstruction (no please not). Ah well!! @kingstrs dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/…

Q to Google AI: is the Gospel according to the Beloved Companion authentic? Answer: it's debated. Hmm. Google AI relies on Amazon reviews. Lots of people love this and believe it. Q to scholars: engage or not?

Well if people can do it to Jesus, they can do it to Bonhoeffer. Glad Bonhoeffer's family are able to speak out to defend his truth.
Great to see the Bonhoeffer family speaking out against the distortion of his life's work and its meaning. currentpub.com/2024/10/20/bo…

Thank you for your @SNTS_org paper, @profjoantaylor! Looking forward to the book when it comes out! (Note: the ppt had a white background—my phone somehow made it colorful! 🙃)

Thanks Sarah. Looking forward! @kingstrs
I can’t express how much I love small seminars with pre-circulated papers. The HJ unit of @SNTS_org has had superb engagement so far. Looking forward to @profjoantaylor’s paper tomorrow, which is part of her book project on traditions about Jesus' youth/family.
