If you're new to Mastodon *or if you're not!) and you work in, or are interested in #BiblicalStudies and want to connect with others, here are four suggestions actions for you:

2. Look at the list to see who to follow: https://bit.ly/BiblicalStudiesHerdList

3. Follow the new @biblicalstudies group to receive tagged posts

4. Whenever you toot about #biblicalstudies tag @biblicalstudies so the group receives the posts & tag #BiblicalStudies too (if you use camel case – capital B & S – it helps screen readers turn them into speech for those with visual difficulties).

Please boost!

New article by Cedric E. W. Vine (Associate Professor of New Testament, Andrews University): EXODUS ALLUSIONS IN THE MIDSECTION OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW.
He argues that multiple exodus allusions in the midsection of Matthew’s Gospel reveal an Evangelist who either anticipated the possible need for withdrawal from hostile host communities or affirmed an ongoing separation process.
