1) Historical texts carry contexts with them.
E.g., if I read in Luther’s late Judenschriften doubts about the reliability of the Hebrew vowel points, can I understand his comments well without knowing about the 1538 publication of Elijah Levita’s seminal work on this topic?

As I’ve shared before, if you’re interested in studying Reformed theology right at its original epicenter this might be a degree for you. It is very affordable (funded by Switzerland itself).

Lovely to see this out and available this morning!
(If I am permitted a small boast, the editor of the volume said he assumed I must be one of Bernie McGinn's students after reading my chapter, which is quite literally the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.)

2) you don't know what a semicolon is for
3) it has incredible vibes

Finishing up proofs for this article today which should be out soon. It's the longest I've ever spent on an article (7ish years) and is hopefully useful for thinking about various approaches the reformers took to allegorical interpretation.
Questions I address 🧵:

I feel like I like in a different universe than the haters. A lot of people seem very upset that the movie is a whodunit with villains and not a Marilynne Robinson novel

It is amusing to watch Pauline scholars "discover" and seek to contend with theological mysteries that have always been glimpsed in Paul's texts *without* the full or best range of hermeneutical aids in prior attempts to discern these mysteries.
