New Paperback Release: “Salvation in Henri de Lubac" by Eugene R. Schlesinger - University of Notre Dame Henri de Lubac’s mystical theology hinges upon a vision of salvation understood as the moment when humanity incorporates into the triune God through the

Happy to see this brief write up on the paperback edition of my book featured on the @undpress.bsky.social Blog.

God, I hate cars.

Don't come after my IPAs either.

Essentially a fancied up AeroPress? (I've got that on my radar too)

Might fuck around and become an insufferable coffee guy.

Our degrowth and liberation theology book in the spring, Hannah's abolition book on the fall, they're cooking over there at @fortresspress.bsky.social.

Salvation in Henri de Lubac now exists in a paperback edition! With the discount code 14FF20 at the @undpress.bsky.social website, there's a 20% discount. This makes it cheaper there than on Amazon (and you don't enrich any oligarchs that way...It's a win-win!).
I remain really proud of this one.

It's release day for Christological Dogmatics!

I try to cover the bases: historical debates, global development, exegesis, moral theology.

I use less-known figures to supplement well known ones: Cyril of Alexandria, Aimee Semple McPherson, Gregory Nazianzus, Jon Sobrino, Robert Clarence Lawson...

Somehow Lefebvre returned....

I was gonna say Savinelli.

Things Will Get Better Before They Get Worse For Bernard Lonergan, the drama of human history is—even right now, even in the United States—in the process of being redeemed by God through grace.

Grateful to @jonathanrheaps.bsky.social for this clear-sighted, measured approach to our present distress. No naive optimism, but also a refusal of despair.

I like Pritzker, but I also don't give a fuck if the people terrorizing communities and murdering people in the streets are well trained or not (both of the recent murderers seem to have been so).

ICE murdered a nurse today

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I was firmly resolved not to watch it (having been so advised by a wise friend), but it popped up in my timeline and I couldn't look away. It has not helped me (or the cause) in the least to have seen it.

Marquette Theology is hiring for two tenure track positions, in New Testament and Historical or Systematic Theology. We have a Ph.D. program, reasonable cost of living in a vibrant city, and obviously, awesome colleagues. Please share! 🧵

ICE does it with malice and glee, but the parent in a drop-off line just think it's worth considering whether they'll run over children, pedestrians, or cyclists.

You will never find people with less regard for human life than parents dropping their kids off for school.

Axia!

I don't at all support disrupting services in houses of worship. At the same time, a whole lot of people who've been silent about ICE brutalizing their neighbors sure are telling on themselves by clutching their pearls over the protest of the church with an ICE field director on its pastoral staff.

It feels weird to promote my book while our country is descending into fascism, but its subject, Henri de Lubac, was active in anti-Nazi resistance during the occupation of France, so engaging with his thought is a good practice of all of us in these trying times.

Tweet from Robert Barron: As a resident of Minnesota and as bishop of the Diocese of Winona- Rochester, my heart is breaking over the situation in my home state. Violence, retribution, threats, protests, deep suspicion of one another, political unrest, fear-all of it swirling around all the time. May I make a modest proposal for exiting this unbearable state of affairs? The Trump Administration and ICE should limit themselves, at least for the time being, to rounding up undocumented people who have committed serious crimes. Political leaders should stop stirring up resentment against officers who are endeavoring to enforce the laws of the country. And protestors should cease interfering with the work of ICE. And everyone on all sides must stop shouting at one another and demonizing their opponents. Where we are now is untenable. There is a way out.

I've been looking forward to the new translation of the Liturgy of the Hours for years. Disappointed when they announced it would be published by Word on Fire. Wasn't sure how I'd handle it in classes where I assign it. This settles it: we're switching to apps. No funds for collaborationist grifters

There were bishops in Vichy France with more courage than this

Imagine being pushed around by Ben Shapiro

Seems appropriate to begin reading the works of Yves de Montcheuil, SJ, who was murdered by the Gestapo one week after Renee Good was murdered by ICE.

Persuasion Won't Work When Conversion is Needed Y'all need Jesus, myself included.

You can't persuade Trumpers because they don't care about truth, goodness, or reality. Conversion is the only way forward.
