Phil Long has a series of posts on on 3 Maccabees and another on 4 Maccabees. All interspersed with his holiday pics from Turkey.
Louis Feldman (see family news) asks why the Macabees were opposed to Greek Religion and Culture?

Bill Mounce thinks less is more when it comes to Matt 18:11.
Michael Kok gives a very VERY helpful summary of notes on the provenance of Mark's Gospel.
Loren Rosson is wondering what Jesus meant by the poor always being with us. Was he a Republican?
Michael Kok would like to introduce you to the Gospel of Luke, have you met before? He really is a laugh at parties.
Sandra Huebenthal thinks Luke is remembering another Jesus. - It makes sense and would explain the confusion if there was two of them, did Jesus have a twin? With the same name?
Lucy Peppiat ponders the power to become a child. - Personally I find it comes naturally to be childish.
Peter Gurry has some clues about the origin of the Pericope Adulterae in the Syriac NT.
Sheila Rosenthal has been reading Matt 17 with people in Gloucestershire.
Larry Hurtado read Dan Kirk's big book about how Jesus is definitely a dude. So Dan wrote Larry a brief thank you note and rebuttal. Then Larry felt he needed to allow himself a couple of observations in response. It was all very civilised *yawn*.
Richard Fellows continues his exhaustive project on names in the NT, see his latest paper on renaming and historicity in Acts.
Mark Goodacre wants to keep you up-to-date with Jesus' wife. - When you see her ask her for her scone recipe, it's fantastic.
Paul Anderson asks What was so bad about coming from Nazereth?? Plenty apparently. And then wonders is Lazarus' resurrection was a climax or a prequel? (He's been watching a bit of TV.)
