New Publications: Part 5

Mostly as a way to take a break from grading, I’m taking some time today to write about the fifth of five essays that went to press in 2025. I posted about four others here, here, here, and here.

This fifth essay is entitled “Reevaluating Parataxis in the Septuagint.” It appears in Subordination and Insubordination in Post-Classical Greek: From Syntax to Context, edited by Klaas Bentein, Eleonora Cattafi, and Ezra La Roi (De Gruyter Brill, 2025). This edited volume originated in a conference held way back in May 2022 at Ghent University. Although I was unable to attend in person, my friend and colleague Andrew Keenan read an early version of this paper for me.

New Publications: Part 2

As I mentioned in a previous post, there are a handful of new publications that I’m highlighting here one at a time.

The second is a chapter I wrote in the brand new T&T Clark Handbook of Hellenistic Jewish Literature in Greek, edited by my friend Marieke Dhont. This volume will be quite large and has a sweeping scope. It’s set to become available in just a few weeks from now.

New Publications: Part 1

Not long ago, I posted a book announcement for my coedited volume with Greg Lanier, The Authority of the Septuagint. You can read more about that there if you haven’t already.

Today I want to begin highlighting several other publications of mine that have either appeared recently, or are will appear in the coming month or so. There are five of them, so I’ll discuss each one in a separate post in no particular order.
