"To no one's surprise, modern Christian apologists, armed with stacks of diplomas from Bible colleges, have ginned up books and blogs by the hundreds to validate the conflicting, nonsensical New Testament stories.
The very fact that Bible stories require a small army of trained apologists to Jesusplain the contradictions is prima facie evidence the stories are fabrications."

Mark my words, adherents of the neurodiversity movement are going to dispute whether Simon Baron-Cohen actually wrote his currently-recognized writings regarding the theory of mind and the extreme male brain hypothesis within a century of his death. However, the Eindhoven study will remain in the movement's canon, because of course it will.

Book Review: The Book of Enoch for Beginners
In 2014, the Darren Aronofsky’s Noah soared at the box office while causing angst among people of faith everywhere. Countless movie goers walked into the theater expecting Russell Crowe to retell the familiar tale of Noah’s ark, only to walk out dazed and confused by what they had just seen. For instead of the Sunday school version of Noah’s story, they had witnessed a retelling filled with…

#26 Assessment of Pseudepigrapha Writings
Having just gone to a Bible study group which just read the historical books of the Old Testament as they are written, and now looked at the texts of non-canonical books, I can say that Bible books and non-canonical books are completely different.  There are clear and obvious reasons why the non-canonical books were not included in the Bible. The books of the Apocrypha are mixed, but the main…

CS Lewis | Academic Tam
Deep Thoughts from the Quill of the Other C.S. Lewis Welcome to another in an occasional series of fictitious quotations from a fabricated contemporary of the great Oxbridge professor, Clive Staples Lewis. The C.S. Lewis who authored these questionable observations, Clyde Scissors Lewis, possessed a worldview enigmatically different from that of the esteemed Christian author. Despite the fact…

I'm really glad that "Joseph and Aseneth" hasn't been popular with Christians in 200 years. It would have been a mountain of extra ammo for attacking lesbians, asexuals, and trans men.

Hex Positive, Ep. 038 - Creating Your Personal Grimoire
Since magic and writing first existed together, there have been books of magic. Grimoires and other mystical tomes dot the historical record, from illuminated manuscripts to beloved props of modern pop culture. For the modern witch, a grimoire is as much a personal reference guide as it is a self-written textbook of the craft. This month, we’ll discuss how to build your own grimoire, with tips for staying organized, suggested topics, and a journaling exercise to get you started!
Partial Transcript
Additional Resources:

Working on my RadioApple AU and the deeper I get into this series the more obviously "AU" it becomes. I just can't resist tossing out the weak Lucifer backstory the show gave us and going rogue.
There are so many relevant texts, you know? Give me Lucifer the first angel, the brightest and most beloved. The morning star who inspired a third of all angels to follow him in a war against heaven. If we're deep-diving, how about the destroying archangel Samael, who served as the prosecutor in the court of heaven before he fell?
The Samael thing is interesting, actually. A lot of Lucifer "canon" comes from midrash and Kabbalah and pseudepigrapha about Samael. Samael is the Adversary, Lucifer is the Adversary, they kind of merged. Lucifer isn't an angel's name, anyway, so it makes more sense if he wasn't always called that.
(Samael means "poison of god", by the way, which is pretty great.)
There's a lot of material out there, is what I'm saying, and we are collectively sleeping on most of the really fun stuff.
I am modestly knowledgeable about this subject. I have a Jewish religious education and read this kind of stuff for fun, but I won't claim more than that. You want to do some jazzy world building in your fic, though? Come talk to me. I've got you.

Why is this site called Tumblr?
It always amuses me that people think it's about how you sort of scroll through an endless jumble of images and stuff when the name is very obviously biblical.
טאמבלר is a plural modernization of the word טמבל, which is the biblical term for a silly person or fool, such as those worshiping the golden calf, the sons of Aaron who played with holy items and got fried by God, and Vernigloth of the Pseudepigrapha, who thought the thousand-eyed glowing winged being who told him not to be afraid was some sort of colossal rodent and ran away off a cliff to his death.
So basically in Biblical Hebrew, a "Tumblr" is a ship of fools, confederacy of dunces, or a massive heap of weirdos online. David Karp, who is not only Jewish but was born and raised in ancient biblical times, clearly chose the proper name.
