Επέστρεψα / I am back!

Καλή χρονιά σε όλες και όλους!

Μετά από μία μακρά σιωπή που οφείλεται σε αυξημένες επαγγελματικές υποχρεώσεις και σε σημαντικές αλλαγές στην προσωπική μου ζωή, επιστρέφω στο ιστολόγιό μου με ανανεωμένη ενέργεια και ενθουσιασμό.

Το Biblical Studies Blog ξεκίνησε πριν από χρόνια ως ένας τρόπος να μοιράζομαι με το ελληνόφωνο κοινό εξελίξεις στον χώρο των βιβλικών σπουδών. Με την πάροδο του χρόνου, απέκτησε και διεθνή αναγνώριση, κάτι που με χαροποιεί ιδιαίτερα. Τώρα, το 2026, είμαι έτοιμη να το επαναφέρω με πιο προσωπική φωνή.

Και πάλι θα γίνονται τακτικές ενημερώσεις για νέες δημοσιεύσεις σε επιστημονικά περιοδικά, συλλογικούς τόμους, μονογραφίες και διδακτορικές διατριβές που αφορούν τη βιβλική έρευνα, την αρχαιολογία, την ιστορία της εποχής της Καινής Διαθήκης, και την επιγραφική.

Επιπλέον θα ανακοινώνονται αρχαιολογικές ανακαλύψεις που συνδέονται με τον κόσμο της Καινής Διαθήκης και το ελληνορωμαϊκό πολιτισμικό της πλαίσιο.

Κάτι καινούργιο θα είναι οι τακτικές θεματικές αναρτήσεις για επιγραφές, την ιστορία της εποχής της Καινής Διαθήκης, την οικολογική ερμηνεία της Βίβλου και την Ορθόδοξη βιβλική έρευνα.

Κάποιες αναρτήσεις θα αφορούν τη δική μου έρευνα, όπως το πρόγραμμα για την Editio Critica Maior της Α΄ και Β΄ Θεσσαλονικείς, τα ερευνητικά μου projects και τις δικές μου δημοσιεύσεις.

Τέλος, θα φροντίσω να δίνω πληροφορίες για τα συνέδρια τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και το εξωτερικό που αφορούν τη θεματική του ιστολογίου .

Χαίρομαι που επιστρέφω σε αυτόν τον χώρο που αγαπώ, όπου μπορώ να μοιράζομαι νέα και ιδέες μαζί σας. Ελπίζω να με συνοδεύσετε σε αυτό το ταξίδι!

Happy New Year to everyone!

After a long silence due to increased professional commitments and significant changes in my personal life, I'm returning to my blog with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

Biblical Studies Blog started years ago as a way to share developments in biblical scholarship with Greek-speaking audiences. Over time, it gained international recognition, something that brings me particular joy. Now, in 2026, I'm ready to revive it with a more personal voice.

Once again, there will be regular updates on new publications in academic journals, edited volumes, monographs, and doctoral dissertations covering biblical studies, archaeology, New Testament-era history, and epigraphy.

Additionally, I'll be announcing archaeological discoveries connected to the world of the New Testament and its Greco-Roman cultural context.

Something new will be regular thematic posts on inscriptions, New Testament-era history, ecological biblical hermeneutics, and Orthodox biblical scholarship.

Some posts will focus on my own research, such as the Editio Critica Maior program for 1 and 2 Thessalonians, my research projects, and my publications.

Finally, I'll make sure to provide information about conferences related to the blog's themes both in Greece and abroad.

I'm delighted to return to this space I love, where I can share news and ideas with you. I hope you'll join me on this journey!
