I think we're still recruiting scholars to build up the scholarly discussion here. In the meantime, I suggest following hashtags so that if someone joins and starts using that hashtag, you'll see it. So you can follow hashtags like #LateAntiquity or #Syriac or #EasternChristianity or #Byzantine or whatever.

Today #amediting some sections on the Pelagian controversy that went on for way too long because I couldn’t figure out how to juggle the topics of grace, predestination and free will . . . much like the controversy itself.

Sooo I'm getting back into #RSS.

Do any of you have blogs? I would be interested in following your blogs! Or other people's blogs that you like. Tumblr and Medium count!

Some things I like to read about: #entomology and #EEB in general, #LateAntiquity & #medieval #history, #theology, #race, #sff, #makeup reviews, municipal politics, any independent Canadian media…but also just personal blogs are fine.

#introductions We are a long-term project based in Berlin (Germany).
Started in 2011, the project edits #Bible #commentaries and other texts by key authors of #LateAntiquity: Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Alexandria, Hesychius of Jerusalem, Procopius of Gaza, Severian of Gabala and Theodoret of Cyrrhus. Their commentaries and sermons are important in the history of #Christianity because of their powerful influence in the medieval and early modern periods, but they are also an intriguing branch of ancient literary #exegesis, and, as such, are of great interest for literary and historical studies, philology and philosophy.
The editions are published online (and open access) in the Patristic Text Archive (#PTA) and in print in the series "Die griechischen christlichen Schriftsteller (GCS)" (DeGruyter).
