Disaster Education in Nursing Education
Background Disasters are major events that have significant effects on individuals, communities, and health care systems. Nurses are valuable resources that have a role in disaster response. However, barriers in disaster education in nursing programs negatively affect nurses' knowledge and skills in disaster preparedness and response. Method A literature review was conducted to better understand the disaster response educational needs of nurses a…
Teaching the Historical Jesus over Three Decades, from Waikato to London
Having taught the subject of the historical Jesus for more than thirty years, from New Zealand to London, I review from a personal perspective what has changed, and how I have taught the course over the decades. Overall, it seems harder to teach now than ever before, for reasons explored here
The Cave 3 Copper Scroll
Mary Magdalene in Film
This essay responds to the four essays concerning the portrays of Mary Magdalene in film and television for the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus
Philo of Alexandria: On the Contemplative Life
On the Contemplative Life is known for its depiction of a philosophical group of Jewish men and women known as the ‘Therapeutae’. Yet the reasons for their depiction have been little understood. In the first commentary on the treatise in English for over 100 years, the social, cultural and political background of the times in which Philo lived are shown to be crucial in understanding Philo’s purposes. As Alexandrian Jews were vilified and attacke…
Patterns of Women's Leadership in Early Christianity
This authoritative collection brings together the latest thinking on women's leadership in early Christianity. Patterns of Women's Leadership in Early Christianity considers the evidence for ways in which women exercised leadership in churches from the 1st to the 9th centuries CE. This rich and diverse volume breaks new ground in the study of women in early Christianity. This is not about working with one method, based on one type of feminist the…
Jesus as News
What made Jesus ‘news’? The key reason given in Mark and Matthew is that Jesus was an effective healer. In Q, likewise, Jesus fulfils John’s prediction of a Coming One who will baptize in Holy Spirit and fire by means of his healing mission. Luke complicates this slightly by emphasizing Jesus’ teaching on social justice, and John conceptualizes the healings as ‘signs’, but both also indicate that Jesus was news because he healed people. Thus, Gal…
Navigating Identity
Catching John in Four Nets? Competition, Qumran, Sacramentalism and Messianism
In his recent study on John the Baptist Joel Marcus suggests that John founded a sect that was in competition with the early Jesus movement. Marcus also suggests that John himself was a former member of the 'Qumran community'. His baptism is considered as a kind of sacrament in which the Holy Spirit was imparted. How secure are these proposals? In this discussion, we conclude that in the oldest literary witnesses – Q, Mark and Matthew – the relat…
The Woman in the Pith Helmet
This volume celebrates the career of Norma Franklin, an archaeologist who has made important contributions to our understanding of the three key cities of Samaria, Megiddo, and Jezreel in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the Iron Age. The sixteen essays offered herein by Franklin’s colleagues in archaeology and biblical studies are a fitting tribute to the woman in the pith helmet: an indomitable field archaeologist who describes herself as …

Blood on a Blackberry

They talk about the bloody slip, not the lost girl. The blacktop road curves there and drops. Can’t see what’s ahead so, I listen. Insects scratch their legs and wind their wings above their backs. The road sounds safe. Every day I walk alone on the schoolhouse road, keep…
Reconstructing the Battle of Zama
This article examines the Battle of Zama in 202, which ended the Second Punic War (218–201) between Rome and Carthage. It argues that the maneuvers described by Polybius are most intelligible if Hannibal sought to corral Scipio into a trap formed by an extended third infantry line, perhaps aided by terrain. Scipio escaped by hastily extending his own forces, holding out until his superior cavalry enveloped Hannibal in turn

Revisiting Qumran Cave 1Q and its Archaeological Assemblage
Qumran Cave 1Q was the first site of Dead Sea scroll discoveries. Found and partly emptied by local Bedouin, the cave was excavated officially in 1949 and published in the series Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (Volume 1) in 1955. Contents of the cave are found in collections worldwide, and in different institutions in Jerusalem and Amman. While the scrolls are the most highly prized artefacts from this cave, in archaeological terms they are pa…

Missing Magdala and the Name of Mary ‘Magdalene’
Traditionally, Mary Magdalene's name is assumed to indicate the place she came from: Magdala, meaning ‘the Tower’. However, no place named Magdala is mentioned in the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament or in other contemporaneous writing. The site called ‘Magdala’ in Israel today, some 5 km north of Tiberias and just north of Mount Arbel, continues a Byzantine identification, from the 5th or 6th centuries CE. It is often assumed that the s…

Pliny
Pliny refers to the Essenes in his Natural History as a peculiar group living an austere existence in the barren region west of the Dead Sea. His very brief description is a caricature, set within the genre of mirabilia, probably sourced from Mucianus, and focuses only on a few key features that were designed to indicate the paradoxical nature of a group eschewing sexual life yet maintaining its existence over time. Nevertheless, Pliny provides s…
John the Baptist and Jesus the Baptist
Narrative criticism is not usually employed as a means of exploring historical knowledge. However, in this article it is argued that narrative patterns can be indicative of history masked by overt rhetoric. In the narrative of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee the Gospel of Mark includes the persistent presence of water, often in combination with wilderness places and crowds. This pattern replicates the same features associated with John the Baptist, cr…

Christians and the Holy Places
The origins of Christian holy places in Palestine and the beginnings of Christian pilgrimage to these sites have seemed obscure. From a detailed examination of the literature and archaeology pertaining to specific sites and the region in general, the present author finds no evidence that Christians of any kind venerated 'holy places' before the fourth century. It appears that scholarly Christians had visited certain Biblical sites out of historic…
The Phenomenon of Early Jewish-Christianity

Il y a bien eu, pendant les quatre premiers siecles de l'Eglise et au-dela, des juifs chretiens et leurs convertis de la gentilite qui gardaient les pratiques du judaisme, mais ils ne constituaient pas un mouvement homogene remontant, par Pella, a la communaute de Jerusalem.

The Wessex culture
The purpose of this paper is to present some facts that appear to have been under-estimated or overlooked in the consideration of the graves of the Early Bronze Age in the Wessex region, that is, the material remains of the 'Wessex culture'. We are not concerned in this paper with the evidence or non-evidence for connexions between the Wessex region and Mycenae (Renfrew, 1968), nor do we consider that anything new can be stated about the 'radioca…
The Essenes, the Scrolls, and the Dead Sea
Ever since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in caves near the site of Qumran in 1947, this mysterious cache of manuscripts has been associated with the Essenes, a 'sect' configured as marginal and isolated. Scholarly consensus has held that an Essene library was hidden ahead of the Roman advance in 68 CE, when Qumran was partly destroyed. With much doubt now expressed about aspects of this view, the book systematically reviews the surviving …

New Photographs of the Qumran Excavations from 1954 and Interpretations of L.77 and L.86
Newly discovered photographs taken during the Qumran excavations in 1954, now available on the Palestine Exploration Fund website, can illuminate various problematic issues of the site's history. In this article aspects of Qumran are examined afresh with the aid of the data these photographs provide. The mud-brick, plastered 'blocks' of L.77 and L.86-L.87/L.89 have been interpreted in diverse ways by different Qumran researchers, but it is most l…

Roots, Remedies and Properties of Stones
Challenges to the Qumran-Essene hypothesis have used regional contextualisations to argue that Qumran was not occupied by Essenes, but a similar approach may be used to support the hypothesis. Essene proximity to the Dead Sea is noted by both Pliny the Elder and Dio Chrysostom, while Josephus mentions that the Essenes are interested in 'roots, remedies and properties of stones' ( War 2: 136). The Dead Sea was well-known for its healing resources …
Qumran Textiles in the Palestine Exploration Fund, London
Three pieces of fabric from Qumran's Cave 1 have been stored in the Palestine Exploration Fund collection since the 1960s but have hitherto never been tested or re-examined. The fabric is made of linen, and was probably used for wrapping or packing scrolls, or sealing jars. New radiocarbon dating on one piece of fabric indicated a probability of 55% for it being made between 1 and 55 A.D., and a probability of 95.4% that it was made between 50 ca…
Date Palms and Opobalsam in the Madaba Mosaic Map
The Madaba mosaic map shows two main vegetal motifs: the date palm and a mysterious bush. The inclusion of the date palm testifies to its economic importance in the region, and it would follow that the bush should also have a similar importance. This bush is best identified as the Judaean balsam or opobalsam, which we know from literary sources to have been grown in the lower Jordan Valley, and elsewhere, in the Roman period. This was a lucrative…
The Immerser
Born in Turkey in 1904, Vosdanik Adoian escaped the massacres of Armenians in 1915 only to see his mother die of starvation, his sister abandoned to an orphanage (where she disappeared), and his remaining family scattered in their flight from the Turks. Arriving with another sister in Massachusetts, in 1920, Adoian invented the pseudonym Arshile Gorky - and obliterated his past

Early Bronze Age Gold Neck-Rings in Western Europe
Some objects defy archaeologists to understand their function. Two gold rod-like fragments from the Kerivoa hoard, Côtes-du-Nord, and one from Plouarzel, Finistère (Briard, 1965, fig. 21, 2), are the only gold objects on the Continent with broadened terminals similar to the ‘neck-ring’ from Arlon, Belgium. Three similar rings in copper exist in Britain. These six objects, their function, and their relationship to other prehistoric objects, form t…

Golgotha
WE will consider here the suggestion by the Bagatti-Testa school that Jewish-Christians employed an artificial cave in the side of the Rock of Calvary and venerated the Tomb of Christ before Hadrian built a temple of Venus on the site. The fundamental question, however, is whether some of the area under the present Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is to be identified with Golgotha of the New Testament. Christian tradition holds that this…
Jewish-Christians in Palestine?
IN this chapter, we will explore the question of who the Jewish Christians were (and who they were not) and also look at literary and archaeological evidence that might testify to their presence in Palestine and Syria in the Roman and Byzantine periods. If the Bagatti-Testa hypothesis has Jewish-Christians as the conservators of holy places, does the evidence for this hypothetical group stand up to cross-examination? ‘Jewish-Christianity’ and ‘Ju…

Capernaum
THE site of ancient Capernaum is located on the north side of the Sea of Galilee. The western part of the site is owned by the Franciscans. It is here that there is the famous synagogue, the dating of which has been so fiercely debated, and the remains of a Byzantine octagonal church on the alleged site of the house of St Peter. The eastern part of ancient Capernaum is owned by the Greek Orthodox Church. Excavations here have as yet uncovered les…
The Evolution of Christian Holy Places
IN Chapter 3, we reviewed the religious demography of Palestine from the end of the Bar Kochba Revolt to the date that Constantine won the East in 324. We saw that pagans, Jews, and Samaritans lived in their own general regions where their own customs could be preserved, though there was some intermixture of populations in the large cities like Caesarea and Gaza. The archaeological and literary evidence would suggest that villages tended to be on…
Bethlehem
According to Jerom , the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehem, 1 believed by Christians to be the place where Christ was born, had been a pagan cult site. ‘Bethlehem ... belonging now to us ... was overshadowed by a grove of Tammuz, that is to say, Adonis, and in the cave where once the infant Christ cried, the lover of Venus was lamented’ (Ep.Iviii. 3). This attestation is fairly late, since the letter from which this comes is to be dated to 395. E…
The Bethany Cave, Gethsemane, and the Tomb of the Virgin
THREE places on the Mount of Olives apart from the Eleona cave require special attention. The first of these, the Bethany Cave, is a very recent rediscovery and is not yet developed into a tourist site. The latter two have never been forgotten; they are more or less part of the same complex, and are visited by a great many people every year. On the Mount of Olives, especially on the side facing Jerusalem, there are a number of different Christian…
