New from JBM
The Guild of Biblical Minimalists journal, Journal of Biblical Minimalism, has a review of John Carroll, The Existential Jesus (2007) now available. The review is by Antonius (Fat Nancy) Mokbel and contains language rarely used in book reviews. Most memorably that involving a thumb and a bath.

I get the distinct impression that Fat Nancy does not like this book. :-)

Never mind about listening, widely read literalist biblical scholars talk thus.

These days they use cameras - no need to resort to the extreme form of Australian yoga from down under.
The imagery is one that should stick in relation to literalistic biblical scholars who are well read and experts in languages.
My old literalistic IVF commentary illustrates very well an attempt to explain the death of Agrippa I. This was using a camera that go through a worm hole in time. About "he was eaten by worms" (Acts 12:23), the commentator wrote: "a medical colleague diagnoses his malady as a hydatid cyst." Ouch!
