Response to Leo Depuydt, “The Alleged Gospel of Jesus's Wife
Although the production of GJW in modernity ("forgery") is an hypothesis worthy of careful consideration, the arguments of Depuydt are not persuasive. I address only substantive issues here
Christianity and Torture
This chapter considers the religious justifications for and against torture. It also describes the torturous narratives at Christianity's foundations, the notion of redemptive martyrdom, and the various ways in which Christian ideology has challenged as well as supported the torturous suffering of fellows and foes. Torture functions in the absence of the facts or against the facts. Despite legal censure, torture and claims of torture are omnipres…
The Place of the Gospel of Philip in the Context of Early Christian Claims about Jesus' Marital Status
It has long been recognized that one of the main topics of the Gospel of Philip is ritual, including ‘the bridal chamber’, and numerous studies have discussed what practices and attitudes toward sexuality and marriage are implied by this imagery.

This essay examines the limits of current historiographical modes of treating earl…

It was the first collaborative group grant funded by the American Academy of Religion (1989–1991), and we continued to meet regularly in Southern California for about seven years. I learned so much from Emily during those years that it defies any concise articulation here. S…
