Thinking about the Bible and land. It's not a simple thing. theconversation.com/what-doe….

What does the Bible say about who belongs in the ‘promised land’? A biblical scholar explains

What the Bible and history tell us about the claim that God gave the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants.

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/…

Revealed: What Jesus REALLY looked like, according to experts

He is one of the most instantly recognisable figures in the Western world. But experts say that every image you've seen of Jesus is almost certainly inaccurate.

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…

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.
