A Letter that Killeth: Gregory of Nyssa on How (Not) to Read Scripture, Platonically
Modern Theology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 147-171, January 2024.Abstract In this essay, I explore the emergence of multicolumn Bibles in late antiquity, with a particular emphasis on Origen's Hexapla and its use by Gregory of Nyssa. I contextualise Gregory's use of multicolumn Bibles within the Origenian tradition and show that, in this intellectual context, multicolumn Bibles functioned as hermeneutical rather ...

A Variant on the Feline Josephus Problem
, 2018 In the Feline Josephus problem, soldiers stand in a circle, each having $\ell$ `lives'. Going around the circle, a life is taken from every $k$th soldier; soldiers with 0 lives remaining are removed from the circle. Finding the last surviving soldier proves to be an interesting and difficult problem, even in the case when $\ell=1$.
