Stephen Carlson to Uppsala

 

A while ago I put up a job advertisement for a postdoctoral position in pre-Constantinian Christianity in Uppsala. Stephen Carlson, who recently finished his PhD on the text of Galatians (previously reported here), saw the news and decided to apply. Eventually he got the position. Here is what he writes on his blog (Hypotyposeis).

As the new post-doctoral researcher in Early (Pre-Constantinian) Christianity at Uppsala University, my project is to research and write about a long-term interest of mine: Papias. My project is tentatively entitled, “The Reception of Papias before Eusebius,” and I am looking at how second- and third-century writers were influenced by and interacted with the now-lost writings of this early second-century writer from Hierapolis.

Congratualations Stephen, and welcome to Sweden!
