My latest podcast episode for @NewBooksNetwork @NewBooksBible is with James Crossley & @robertjmyles on "Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict" (@Zer0Books, 2023). Thoroughly enjoyed their company and their take on the "historical-materialist" Jesus! newbooksnetwork.com/jesus-2

I enjoyed this conversation with @AdlerYonatan immensely; among other topics, we covered his book's implications for Biblical Studies—not just for HB/OT scholars, but also in NT, where we often take the antiquity of traditions for granted.

my favorite medieval story is the one about how alexander the great wanted to see the world, so he built a contraption to dive underwater and brought his cat and chicken to explore the ocean with him :)
