Extraordinary foresight. The Matenadaran of Armenia (@MashtotsM ) holds the largest collection of Armenian manuscripts in the world, many of which contain lost texts of antiquity, both pagan and Christian. They aim to freely digitize all Armenian manuscripts in the world.…
Starting to get speaking engagements on the book, this one is with Bart Ehrman's (@BartEhrman) "New Insights into the New Testament " (September 26-28). bartehrman.com/new-insights-i…

I sat down with Matt @TenMinuteBible (Ten Minute Bible Hour) where we warped time to do the 10 minute Bible Hour in a 30 minutes interview. Every interview has its great highlights, and this one is no exception: youtu.be/d6MQHQrC68A?si…
Another interview with the erudite @andrewmarkhenry. Thanks for having me on Andrew (and I just noticed the Egyptian Ankh in your background, nice!) youtu.be/8jpEleZV1Pw?si…
Another interview, this one with Tim O'Neill (@TimONeill007 ), my favorite internet atheist and new friend😀 youtu.be/9L2bE1-pyiU?si…
Just uploaded to the History for Atheists channel, my interview with @ProfTCSchmidt on his new book *Josephus and Jesus: New Evidence for the One Called Christ* (Oxford, 2025) youtube.com/watch?v=9L2bE1…
I've done some interviews with "Jesus Mythacist" YouTube channels, and now I'm off to some Christian ones. This one was a great one with @Sean_McDowell (although, I look kind of green… I had been working on my lighting, clearly I have more work to do) youtube.com/watch?v=MwyFaJ…
I had a great interview with Gavin Ortlund (@gavinortlund) which just got posted, thanks Gavin! youtube.com/watch?v=fLiGJV…
A brand new book by @ProfTCSchmidt, Josephus and Jesus, not only authenticates the passage, but demonstrates that Josephus personally knew members of the Sanhedrin, starting in the early 50s A.D.! This places him very close to the events in question.
My book arrived today, first time I've held it in my hands! @OxUniPress @OUPAcademic Get the free pdf at josephusandjesus.com

Another interview. I am doing lots of them lately, and trying also to go on different kinds of platforms, this one went well with @Craig_Truglia of Orthodox Christian Theology!
I just wanted to mention that @Craig_Truglia had an amazing interview with the author of a book about Josephus’s much disputed reference to Jesus that will be published by Oxford University Press. youtube.com/live/QRLGlKXLI…
I'll be live on History Valley @HistoryValley at 2 PM Eastern time US (in four hours), come with questions! youtube.com/watch?v=r3Fujf…
I had a great time with Dr. Mike Licona, be sure to check it out!
THIS is one of the most interesting interviews I've ever conducted. T. C. Schmidt contends that Josephus' primary text about Jesus is authentic. BUT of even greater interest is Schmidt's observations on Josephus' sources! This interview is 1 hour. youtu.be/ShFrtcV_tm8
