    An Open Bibliography in Corinthian and New Testament Studies

    I’ve just surfaced from a week-long purgatorial session editing and indexing the proof text of The Isthmus of Corinth. It was awful–or maybe it was wonderful–but the manuscript is better for it. And now I now understand why authors sometimes cut corners and pay others to index their works. I’m back on track this morning and eager to deliver my overdue Lenten Wednesday series…

    This is the third in a series of five bibliographic reports related to Corinthian scholarship published or digitized in 2015. This post also marks the next installment in a Lenten series on resources for the study of Judaism, New Testament, and early Christianity in Corinth (see last week’s post on Corinthian-related blogs). Today’s report presents scholarship published or digitized in 2015 related…

  • 2015 Publications in Corinthian Studies: Roman Period

    This is the second in a series of bibliographic posts concerning Corinthian scholarship published or disseminated online in 2015. Today’s report contains new scholarship broadly related to the Corinthia in the Roman and Late Antique periods, but excludes articles and books related to New Testament, Judaism, and early Christianity more broadly (which we will post separately tomorrow).

  • 2015 Publications in Corinthian Studies: Prehistoric-Hellenistic Periods

    This is the first of a series of 5 bibliographic posts related in some way to Corinthian scholarship published or digitized in 2015. As with my series last year, I have used Zotero’s Report feature to export bibliography to PDF so that the listing includes URLs and abstracts. This list is certainly not exhaustive, and is surely incomplete, but it…

  • Corinthian Scholarship 2015: The Flood

    I have just finished processing the final round of Corinthian scholarship published or made accessible in 2015. The process involved sifting through hundreds of Google Scholar Alerts and sorting through 1,329 entries at OCLC WorldCat (Google and WorldCat produce overlapping but different lists of Corinthiaka). It took a long time, but not so long to make me quit. I have thought before–not seriously enough–about looking into an automated…

  • A Companion to Latin Greece (Tsougarakis and Lock, eds)

    A Companion to Latin Greece, recently published by Brill, offers 11 essays that provide “an introduction to the study of Latin Greece and a sampler of the directions in which the field of research is moving.” Edited by Nickiphoros Tsougarakis and Peter Lock, the work surveys society, culture, and economy in Greece from the 12th to 14th century (with occasional forays beyonds).…

    About three dozen new Corinthiaka articles and books came to my notice over the last month. The complete list is included below, or you may browse a 30 page report that includes full abstracts (download this PDF). You may also wish to visit the Corinthian Studies Zotero Page and search a growing Zotero Library of 2,549 articles and books. The new entries are tagged according to…

  • Paul’s Political Strategy in 1 Corinthians 1-4 (Bitner)

    Bradley Bitner’s new book on Paul’s political theology, published last month with Cambridge University Press, looks to offer an interesting approach to understanding the opening chapters of the New Testament letter of 1 Corinthians. Here are the details from the publisher page: Bitner, Bradley J. Paul’s Political Strategy in 1 Corinthians 1-4. Cambridge University Press,…
