If you’re at #aarsbl25 be sure to swing by the @undpress.bsky.social booth to buy my friends’ books (and maybe mine too, while you’re there)!

A happy #sblaar25 to all who are participating! Be sure to peruse this excellent thread of suggestions!

It's rude that Lonergan puts this in the middle of a chapter on metaphysics. "The finality of all proportionate being becomes in man a conscious tension. ... Present desires and fears have to be transmuted, and the transmutation is not desirable to present desire but fearful to present fear."

I haven't been on Bluesky for months, mostly because I've been doing things like this; it was fantastic to get out in the field with the fine Orianne Society folks this summer!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The Board of Directors of the Lonergan Research Institute (LRI) in Toronto announced the appointment of Prof. John D. Dadosky, PhD (@john-dadosky.bsky.social) as the new Executive Director, effective 1 September 2025. Congrats, John, & thank you for your service to Lonergan Studies!

For whatever reason Amazon has this excellent new book by @schlesingene.bsky.social, an Anglican ecumenical theologian teaching at a Roman Catholic university, available at a very deep discount. Run, don't walk, etc. www.amazon.com/Ruptured-Bod...

Meanwhile, it remains dirt cheap on Amazon.

My shorter notice for @jasongoroncy.bsky.social's excellent T & T Clark handbook to the Doctrine of Creation is up. I've worked at writing reviews & feel pretty competent w/the genre, but 375 words for a 1000 page handbook w/71 chapters was a unique challenge! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Just a couple more hours to get this deal!

Hi, new followers. I'm bad at posting, but pop in here occasionally. I share more regularly at instagram. For professional & teaching stuff: www.instagram.com/joseph.k.gor... For snakes and other animals: www.instagram.com/kimberlinheightscreatures/

I want to print off 500 copies of this and walk around AAR handing it to graduate students with a $20 bill folded inside

I might've begun a (relevant, I promise) question after @jandrewdoole.bsky.social's excellent "Bible and Animal Studies" paper "Early Church Feathers" on patristic interpretations of Luke 13.34 with a reference to Arrested Development yesterday: #SBLAAR24 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaS_...

I concur with everyone else who has already said or thought it. #SBLAAR should always be in San Diego! #SBLAAR24

#SBLAAR24 here I come! Finishing up my #snakes 🐍🐍🐍 in the #Bible talk in Atlanta while I await my flight to San Diego. Looking forward to seeing friends soon.

One of my #SBLAAR tips: get outside every now and again. There are two little parks behind the convention center and a walkway all right on the water. This is a nice places to move, get some sunshine, etc. Or walk into the gaslight district. Don’t forget you are a human with a body!

Ok, I found enough to get it going. If you or someone you love is a theologian, let me know and I'll add them.

For anyone going to #SBLAAR24 who's a bit new and/or anxious, here's the powerpoint of a session I did with our new PhD students last year. I called it "Conference participation: A guide for the perplexed and anxious." drive.google.com/file/d/1MEID...

Here is an unofficial conference guide I wrote up in 2017 on how not to sexually harass at #SBLAAR24 #SBLAAR

Good morning #SBLAAR24 goers. If any of you are flying in this afternoon and would like to share an Uber from the airport to the hotel area (on me), let me know. My flight lands just before 4.

Some tips for those who may be attending #SBLAAR for the first time:

Here's the first of a blog series on "Creaturely Pedagogy" at the Wabash Center: www.wabashcenter.wabash.edu/2024/07/crea...

Here's a nice summary of the snake stuff I've been up to with the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont: tremontfuture.org/monitoring-t...

I am super bad at social media, but here's some stuff I've been up to lately if anyone on here is interested: "Do dogs go to heaven?" with Kaitlyn Schiess @holypost.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIJx...

Where are my Blue Sky academics?! Tell me what you're doing at SBL and AAR!

I just made this starter pack of 99 people. go.bsky.app/Jh5XC3k

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. 1.) intro to the life, work, & influence of Bernard Lonergan, S.J. 2.) a Xian account of the goodness of snakes (see below)

If you're presenting at SBL's Annual Meeting this year (#SBLAAR2024) please consider the accessibility recommendations provided by the Disability and Accessibility Committee: www.sbl-site.org/assets/pdfs/...

here's a partial #AARSBL24 starter pack. if you're going to be part of the conversation at or around AARSBL, like this post and i'll add you! repost to signal boost! i'm hoping combos of starter packs, feeds, and hashtags will help folks connect, whether they can come or not.
