My first book cover photo was on Dressing Judeans and Christians in Antiquity (2014) eds. Upson-Saia, Daniel-Hughes & Batten.

It's a mosaic of Bishop Ecclesius of #Ravenna in the apse of San Vitale offering a model of the church to Christ.

Remains of a 6th/7th century basilica in Gortyn on the island of #Crete. Excavators dubbed it the "church of St. Titus" assuming by its size that it was dedicated to the island's patron saint, but the actual dedication is not known.

Byzantine icon of the Anastasis/Christ's Descent into Hell housed in the Benaki Museum, Athens. Christ descends into Hades, destroying the gates of death, and pulls Adam and Eve out of its grip. Looking on are the righteous patriarchs and prophets--Moses, David, John the Baptist

So how did the relationship between ancient philosophy and Early Christianity become my research specialization? Why, I took a required seminar on Hellenistic philosophy in grad school that I hated and struggled with. How else?

I don't get why reviewers feel the need to point out spelling errors in a book review. When it's something that doesn't affect the main premises of the book, it seems petty and makes me wonder whether said reviewer has anything really substantive to say.

Passed by a colleague on campus today who I was in touch with over the weekend by email.

Him: "Hi!"

Me: "Hi! I hope my email was helpful."

Him: <hesitate> "I'm sorry....who....?"

Me: <realizing I'm wearing my N99 mask and a cap> "Oh right! It's Arthur!"

Laughing ensues.
