Ooo Big Question. Do you have a particular instance in mind? In the gospels, people with disabilities barely get named, let alone speak, or have any defining features concerning agency (in other words, they mostly function as props)...

This article was a long time in the works, but it's a cool result with interesting data. Since its initial conception we based a lot of other studies on the method and hope that others will as well. Finally, it was fun co-authoring with so many good scholars and colleagues, looking forward to more!

Also he was on my diss committee and wrote work I found inspiring and original. My heart goes out to his other fellow students and also to those he mistreated

I’m grateful to the reviewers and editor (Simon Gathercole) for their helpful comments. This was my 7th or 8th submission to NTS in 6 years. All my other attempts had been rejected (some of which luckily were published elsewhere, eg. JBL).
