This really is such an exciting project!!
I’m grateful that @nehgov.bsky.social finds my work on Onesimus valuable for the humanities!
When the book comes out via @fortresspress.bsky.social, get excited about the reception (from Ethiopia and Greece to the UK and US) of one of the earliest known individuals who was enslaved by a Christian

Love this analysis from Jen Kaalund.
"Memory binds us together and helps us become who we aspire to be. But it only does this when we remember the real and complicated stories."
