Super energized by student presentations in my Paul module today. A few who have yet to speak in class began participating after they presented their work. Also, each group found a way to riff on the first group's designation of the community in Corinth as Paul's 'problem child'! Love it
Likewise!
Cool new colour, but also big congrats to @sarahparkhouse.bsky.social!

It finally arrived in the post and it's a really lovely volume! My first pass at a paper on the text I worked on for my postdoc @au.dk. Excited to revisit the papers I heard at the intimate CUA colloquium. @cua-press.bsky.social
Great to have students back on our campuses today for the beginning of Semester 2. Welcome back! 😊 #WeAreDCU
Thanks!
Working on a book review assignment for my undergraduate module on the Gospels. Best new (and accessible) books on the Gospels, synoptics and John? Help please! Self promotion also welcome.
finally submitted that long overdue book review. now I can...tackle that stack of corrections....😩
The book will form an excellent starting point for anyone new to the study of monasticism, but it also provides a treasure trove of information for those well-versed in the subject, who wish to branch out into other geographies or chronologies. Louise Blanke University of Edinburgh
Cambridge Elements do not get reviewed often (I guess the format is to blame) so I am even more chuffed to see Louise Blanke discussing Monasticism and the City in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages for JMMS. Really honored by such kind words from a giant in our field!
Every so often I wonder if I'm overreacting for committing to no more US travel under the current regime
(I'm Canadian and usually go to a few conferences a year)
And then something else like this happens
Sorry folks, it's virtual talks only for the time being.
Yes!
It's so interesting! I've thought to myself, particularly about those I really look up to, 'I must really sit down and take stock of how their interests developed and shifted over the course of their career'.
hahah yes, I'm sure that's true of me too!
