About
“Septuagint studies” is a mis-nomer, but it is pretty close to “biblical studies,” which was already taken
. I will be devoting this blog to careful study of the Bible and its Ancient Versions (Septuagint and Hexapla, Peshitta, Vulgate, and Aramaic Targums). I’m very interested in the field of textual criticism but also in using the Versions as exegetical guides, which aid understanding of the original Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament.
My name is John Meade and I’m currently a PhD student at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. I’m scheduled to take my comprehensive exams in November in the areas of OT language, NT language, and OT literature. If I’m not posting frequently, it’s because I’m preparing for those exams. Also, I plan to write my dissertation in the area of Origen’s Hexapla of Job. Once I’m writing, I will probably post on some of the interesting features.

JD,
And especially can’t wait for our daughters to meet.
Thanks for stopping by patrickweed.com I’m glad you are enjoying the Ramadan Challenge. It’s been something that has even helped me to remember to just pray each day. Can’t wait to see you guys at Thanksgiving, pray we can find cheap tickets.
Love to you and your girls.
Patrick

Hello! Lots on my plate, but I’ve occasionally stopped by & find your posts intriguing. Just thought I’d let you know that my blogging, such as it is, is now being done at petersoncello.wordpress.com rather than at The Euphemist, and I have a link to you there. Not sure that the new one qualifies as a biblioblog yet, though it will more after I get around to posting my Jewish Studies papers on it. Blessings!

Michael –
Good to you on Worpress these days. I have updated my links to reflect your move. Let those Jewish Studies papers flow.
