Many thanks to @toddbrewer.bsky.social for mentioning Face to Face in his top theology books of 2025 over at Mockingbird. I didn't even have to bribe him.

If you are at #SBLAAR24 join us on Monday for craft beer. All are welcome

A little something for everyone in this link roundup from last week, but one of my favorites was the humor article: "I’m Totally on Board with Accepting Flaws, as Long as Those Flaws Adhere to a Certain Standard of Flawlessness" mbird.com/week-in-revi...
