New podcast! Interview with Katie Edwards (Sheffield University) about 'Rethinking Biblical Literacy'

It's been a while since we've had a podcast. This is partly because --- sadly --- in the busy life of an editorial department this is the kind of frill that often falls off first.

However, we have one for you now, recorded about this time last year about the (then forthcoming) volume 'Rethinking Biblical Literacy' edited by Katie Edwards.

In our discussion we cover different types and modes of literacy, and the surprisingly places in which the bible is sometimes found.

The podcast can be found here, or at itunes, and should hopefully be embedded below.

T&T Clark Podcast: Dr James K. Aitken talks about his Companion to the Septuagint

It's great to have another podcast to release, particularly one about our new Companion to the Septuagint, edited by James K. Aitken.

The book is excellent, and fills a real gap. In this interview with James Aitken we discuss the book, the Septuagint in general, and Aitken's current research (even the work he's doing that -- sadly -- another publisher will be producing!)

Professor Joan Taylor (King's College London) talks about Geza Vermes' final book 'The True Herod' and about her own journey into academia.
