Excited that this is out in the world! My chapter "From Patmos to Hawkins: Slipping through Time and Space in Revelation and Stranger Things" was great fun to write.

Folks, if you are interested in biblical studies (broadly construed) on Bluesky, I've created a starter pack. It's *non-comprehensive* (you can only add 150 accounts), so apologies to anyone left off!

I made a starter pack for biblical scholars working on gender and sexuality! Let me know if you would like to be added to it!

Congrats - this was my go-to commentary last winter when I taught Revelation. Many of my students also chose to use it!

I forgot to introduce myself when I joined a while ago! I'm a biblical scholar that researches monsters, liminal cosmic zones, with a new found love for biblical works of art.
