Of course, we should strive for excellence in whatever we do. But we also shouldn’t let the quixotic quest for perfection prevent us from finishing. Yes, that paper, that book, that article will have flaws.

The Journal of Greco-Roman Judaism and Christianity has posted four new essays to the 2018 volume:

Origen on the Web (June 22, 2012)

On the web:

  • Jim Davila reports the discovery of some previously lost Greek homilies on the Psalms, potentially by Origen (1, 2).
  • Peter Williams provides a link to a set of images of the manuscript.
  • Roger Pearse comments on the press release and quotes Jerome’s catalogue of Origen’s writings.
  • Alin Suciu passes along a letter from Lorenzo Perrone, provides several updates on the discussion, and releases a guest post from Mark Bilby.
  • Dirk Jongkind comments on a textual variant in the text’s quotation of 1 Corinthians.
