Page proof day for "Asclepius, Jesus, and Healing by Touch: A Reevaluation," forthcoming in Early Christianity. Do the famous reliefs from the Piraeus Asklepieion and the Oropos Amphiareion (and others) show Greek healers conveying a cure with a simple touch? I argue that they don't.

For the last day of discussion groups in Interpretation of the New Testament, I had my students draw the pericope of the woman who anoints Jesus. They could go based off a specific passage, or from memory. Sharing (with permission) some of my favorites here!
