Journal of Jesus Movement in Its Jewish Setting partners with 3 universities

THE JOURNAL OF THE JESUS MOVEMENT IN ITS JEWISH SETTING FROM THE FIRST TO THE SEVENTH CENTURY HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT:
JJMJS is strongly committed to remain open access. Moving forward, we, as any other open-access journals, must secure long-term economic stability without compromising academic quality. We are therefore very pleased to announce that, through a unique collaborative effort, JJMJS is now entering a multilateral partnership with Hebrew University of Jerusalem, DePaul University in Chicago, and the University of Oslo

[...]

The current issue of JJMJS, the first in its new form, offers a Special Issue on Paul, which we have entitled Paul, Judaism, and the Jewish People. Contributors include: Margaret M. Mitchell, Matthew Thiessen, Paula Fredriksen, James Crossley, Neil Elliott, Adele Reinhartz, Matthew Novenson, and Gregory Tatum, with an introduction by the undersigned [chief editor Anders Runesson]. The issue considers in particular the impact of the work of E.P. Sanders forty years after the publication of his magisterial Paul and Palestinian Judaism, but also includes discussion of the very latest research in Pauline Studies.
There are more details at the link, as well as the full text of the current, free, open-access Issue 5 (2018).

PaleoJudaica noted the lauching of the journal back at the beginning of 2016.
