I had a wonderful time at #BNTS2025 in Manchester. It was great to see dear friends and colleagues.
I also had the privilege of offering a response to the book *Open Sanctuary* by Nick Moore alongside Phillip Alexander.
Did my book fail to make it to a major conference for the second time in a row? Yes, yes it did.
Grateful to lovely Sarah from @tandtclark.bsky.social for trying to save the day, but let’s hope they remember to pack it for Boston! #BNTS2025

Our final session of #BNTS2025 is a plenary lecture from Ben Wold of @tcddublin.bsky.social on 'Debt, Hunger, and the Inversion of Forgiveness in the Matthean Lord’s Prayer
in light of 4QInstruction'.
It's our final day in Manchester, where the @uomreligion.bsky.social team have arranged a display of local culture ( = it's raining again). Our final seminar sessions are running at the moment, before our closing session plenary later this morning. #BNTS2025

I'm chairing our next session, which started with Cambry G Pardee on the reception history of the notion of the devil in disguise, and is continuing with U-Wen Low's analysis of Revelation and the body of Christ from the perspective of performance criticism. #BNTS2025
We're off to a great start in the new Reception, Critical Theory, and Interdisciplinary Studies seminar at #BNTS2025.
