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!
