Not quite proofs, but getting close: I'm putting some near-finishing touches on a chapter on time, creation, & eschatology in Augustine for Nina Emery's upcoming _Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Time_. It's a concise piece, so it's been a fun challenge.

Speaking as an Augustine scholar who got his PhD just down the road from Leo XIV’s graduate alma mater in Hyde Park, this… feels like a win? (Sad to hear he’s a Cubs fan rather than a Sox fan, though!)

Inspired by @w-ezekielgoggin.bsky.social, I spent part of Easter weekend translating a little Augustine. Here’s a snippet from Book 7 of the Confessions.

One of my students made stickers of Corregio's _Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine_ (1527) to accompany their presentation in our Renaissance/Reformation class today. That's commitment!

Got this in the mail earlier this week. Eager to read it!

It was great to get a chance to reconnect with my old fellow maroons Daniel Kim & Mark Lambert to put out this CfP for a special issue of _Religious Studies & Theology_ on religion & medicine. Don't hesitate to let me know if you'd like to contribute! journal.equinoxpub.com/RST/about/su...

I was happy to open this email from Dr. Michele Pistone (Villanova) & the organizers of the Refugees & Migrants in Our Common Home event. Not 100% sure how I'll be getting to Rome (or where I'll be staying) next October, but I'll aim to figure out how to get there so I can talk about Augustine.

Don't forget that Volume 41 of the American Cusanus Society Newsletter is now available! These screenshots offer you a sneak-peek, but for the full thing you'll need to become an ACS member. Sign up here: americancusanussociety.org/membership

Anybody know anyone working on Hans Küng these days??

While changing planes on my way home from #SBLAAR24, I received confirmation that I'll be on sabbatical for 2025-26. This'll finally give me the chance to finish my book on Augustine & migration. Feeling grateful. Let me know if you have any leads on grants, fellowships, etc.!

Do you work on medicine, healthcare, disability, and/or religion in late antiquity? @remedhe.bsky.social is looking for new board members and we'd love to hear from you! (Due by Feb. 15) docs.google.com/document/d/1...

You can submit an abstract now for our American Cusanus Society conference exploring "Perspectives on Mystical Vision & Aesthetic Experience!" You have until Feb. 1 to email us your idea, but... why wait until the last minute?

One last reminder to #SBLAAR24 presenters: why not turn that paper into an article for our journal, _Religious Studies & Theology_? We're a venue with a long track-record & a quick turnaround time. Here's how to submit: journal.equinoxpub.com/RST/about/su...

My most "old-man-coded" trait might be that I always chuckle at this comic whenever I gaze upon it...

While my American colleagues get to enjoy turkey & football after #SBLAAR24, I was immediately back in the classroom, testing out armour as part of a guest-lecture by my colleague Dr. Stephane Lemieux, who taught us all about medieval warfare. (Is this experiential learning?)

As delays abound at the San Diego airport, I might as well go ahead & post some culinary highlights from #SBLAAR24… The enchiladas with mole were the highlight.

Inspired by @drewjakeprof.bsky.social, I walked to the San Diego airport today after an incredible #SBLAAR24. As promised, the stroll wasn’t too bad!

My #SBLAAR24 book haul. Let me know if you want to review Transpacific Political Theology or The Unfinished Dream for the journal _Religious Studies & Theology_. (The Yonghua Ge is mine!)

Somehow, despite the protective plastic casing, I managed to get coffee inside there & sully my #SBLAAR24 name badge. Good thing this didn’t happen on day one…

Saying goodbye to the #SBLAAR24 book exhibit hall one last time…

There are some mystical explorations not worth missing this Tuesday morning at #SBLAAR24…

Starting now in Indigo H: Toni Alimi and Matt Elia on their brand new books on Augustine and slavery! #SBLAAR24

Jimmy Chan is reading Augustine in order to answer the question: “How many of Jesus’ disciples were good? And how many of Jesus’ disciples were bad?” #sblaar24
