My atheists / agnostic friend who did not grow up in any form of Christianity just said “A lot of the bible sure seems to read like an obituary for empire” and I almost just hollered in tongues.

As someone who works in the publishing industry, this situation makes me so angry and so sad.

That's too much of my life for me to care to continue in this manner.

Does anyone else feel like they have wasted like 1-3 hours of every day of the past 20 years of their life on "social media"? 👀 👀 👀 No, just me? 'K' cool, cool.

It just occurred to me that the "students of Robert E. Webber to students of Robert F. Taft" pipeline could be a real thing.

My first issue Editor-in-Chiefing Theological Librarianship is out! Hooray! serials.atla.com/theolib/issu...

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that four Reese’s cups and three mini Snickers in one sitting is not the apex of self-restraint and moderation.

There are days when mental illness is a drag . . . pretty much all the days. Some days are better than others

That episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood where the tiger family goes grocery shopping and then stops at the restaurant right after? <nods-in-enthusiastic-approval/>.

Midnight Catechism — Q.: Does God the Father have a body like us? A.: No. To recall the words of the famous Origen, God the Father is bodiless.

For the first time in my life I successfully spelled 'oeuvre' without needing help.

Should I pursue a Master's of Library (and Information) Science degree, or should I pursue master's level work in late antiquity?

If I'm not working, praying, or thinking about and caring for my family and friends, I'm thinking about early monasticism, the church fathers, late antiquity, or the humanities more broadly.

Why must civilization decline at the same time as the study of the humanities? It's as if that human with all the the Executive Orders woke up some morning and was like, "Why not both?"

Okay, that’s it; I hate the internet.

God, Slavery, and Early Christianity is out in the real world with @universitypress.cambridge.org! I have some extra, so retweet this by the end of Oct. 19 if you’re interested in receiving a copy! Book info here: www.cambridge.org/core/books/g...

In case you forgot that the Origenian vision of the resurrected body is orbital and DBH called baseball A Perfect Game, . . .

Wait, I missed it?!? The Cubs lost, too?

Ngl watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood reminds me of my godfather who had a French accent.

While listening to “Get Back” on The Beatles Channel, our son said, plain as day,“Get back, JoJo!” 😆🤣😂

In the year of the Lord 2025, not only will strangers call you on the phone unsolicited, they will also have the nerve to walk up to your house and knock on your door.

One of my rules for reading non-fiction is that you don’t have to read it in linear, paginated order. Probably it is ideal to do so, but it’s absolutely not at all necessary.

Hey all, if you can find it in your hearts to help me (and yes, I am humbly begging), here is my GoFundMe. Thanks. 🙏🏼

tfw you misread something and react very strongly and then the OP spams your comment because for a hot minute you sounded like a right-winger. 😬😬😬

Anxiety is a frustrating ailment. Also depression sucks.

There is a part of me that has a legitimate inkling to read Plato, the Stoics, and Plotinus. That part of me does not often win over the part of me that feels if I am to read anything it should be patristics or the scriptures.
