Given the academic nature of the List, it is ordinarily expected that those subscribing and contributing to Corpus Paulinum will be professional scholars and graduate students who are familiar with both the primary and secondary Pauline literature, as well as with the contours of the issues that are part and parcel of current scholarly Pauline studies. But beginners in the serious study of Paul who wish to make use of the List to gain and advance their knowledge of things Pauline are also welcome to participate provided they respect the List's focus.
1. Respect our focus
Keep to the List's focus: the life, influence, teaching, theology,
and writings of (or attributed to) the Apostle Paul. Occasional excursions
into related areas are acceptable to the extent that they shed light on
matters Pauline. But postings which intend to advance or discuss personal
religious experiences or modern sectarian or political agendas are completely
inappropriate, as are personal messages and commercial advertisements.
It goes without saying that exegesis and discussions of the meaning of the Pauline writings will be based on the Greek text of those writings and not on a, or any particular, translation of them.
2. Respect others.
Observe common courtesy, scholarly collegiality, and list netiquette
at all times. All comments that reflect negatively on other groups or individuals
(including negative references to another's competence as a scholar, exegete,
or interpreter of Paul) are forbidden.
3. Give each post a useful subject header.
Each subject header should indicate the subject of the message.
4. Participate with restraint.
You are in a discussion with many other informed participants. Participate
when you can make a useful contribution but refrain from dominating the
conversation. Avoid chatter and clutter. Messages should be considered
and concise. Because some participant's e-mail systems cannot handle them,
never post messages with enclosures (attachments). Either convert the attachment
to plain text and included it in regular e-mail or offer to send the enclosure
(attachment) privately to individuals who request it.
N.B. Participants who wish to submit papers in statu nascendi for responses and review should not post them directly to the List. Rather, they should be sent to the List Owner, Jeffrey Gibson, who will make them accessible to the List through our "Articles for Review" link.
5. Be careful when you quote someone.
Be careful with quotations and their attributions. When you respond
to a posting, do not repost the whole message. Quote only enough or as
much is as necessary to make your point; Just as importantly, do not repost
another's private mail without the explicit permission of the writer.
6. Use standard conventions in writing.
Show consideration for your readers by observing ordinary conventions
of spelling, capitalization, sentence construction, paragraphing, and
transliteration.
7. Identify yourself at the end of each post.
End every posting to the List with a signature that includes your full
name, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address. (To insure that this
is done, it is recommended that you set your e-mail software to automate
your signature. Those unfamiliar with automating signatures might refer
to the
Ioudaios-L
guide to Automating Your Signature, with information on how to do this
using Eudora, Pine, Netscape and Elm. Those who use Pegasus Mail can use
the
University
of Birmingham's illustrated guide on adding signatures). Pseudonyms
are not acceptable. If you wish to be addressed by another name, indicate
this in your signature.
Those who refuse to observe these protocols may be warned and, if necessary, unsubscribed from the List.
When you subscribe, you will need to enter your email address and a password. You can use this password to log in from the web page listed above - that will enable you to do any of the following:
Corpus Paulinum <corpus-paul@franklin.oit.unc.edu>
When creating a message, i.e., when posting something new or original to the List, please make sure that the post has Corpus-Paul@franklin.oit.unc.edu in the "To:" field and give your message an appropriate subject header.
When replying to a message, please make sure that your post has he List's e-mail address in either the "To:" or the "Cc:" field. You may also want to send your reply to the person who posted the original message.
N.B. Make sure, especially when replying to messages, that the subject heading appearing in the "subject" field of your posting is relevant to the content of your message. If you are not changing the subject, please don't change the subject line. The Corpus Paulinum List's archiving software uses the subject line of posts to store and organize the List's archives, and keeping the subject header of the post to which you are responding makes an archived message on a given subject easier to find. If, however, you are responding to a minor aspect of a previous message, please change the subject heading.
To postpone reception of mail, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the Log In page at http://franklin.oit.unc.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=corpus-paul
2. Enter your e-address and password and then click on the enter button. This will bring you to a menu with various options, among them the "Your Settings" button.
3. Click on "Your Settings" button. This will open a page which contains among other things a window labelled "Status"
4. Click on the pop-up menu within the "Status" window status and choose one of the options described thus:
* receive mail as it is contributed5. Use the pop-up button to choose the option you want (presumably "receive no mail").
* periodic digest
* periodic index of subject
* receive no mail
6. Then click on the "Save" button at the bottom left below the settings panels.
Anytime that you wish, you may go to the web site and change it back
to your previous
option--or even change it to or from "periodic digest" to one of the
other options.

For Hebrew, the following adaptation (by Jack Kilmon) of the Michigan/ Claremont/ Westminster scheme is recommended:
It is also recommended that participants who submit postings with references to Biblical, Apocryphal, Pseudepigraphical and Early Patristic writings, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Targummic Material, Orders and Tractates in Mishnaic and related literature, Rabbinic exegetical and liturgical writings, the New Testament Apocrypha, and the Nag Hammadi corpus, should use a standard scholarly method of citation such as that found either in the Society of Biblical Literature's 1991 edition of the printed Membership Directory and Handbook or online at the SBL Web site (http://www.sbl-site.org/scripts/SBL/Publications/SBL-pubs-JBL-inst.html).
