I’ve just been told that the Japanese translation of my book “The Apocalyptic Paul: retrospect and prospect” has been published today. Huge thanks to all involved, especially the translators Kazusa Okaya, Aogu Suzuki, and Daichi Okawa.

Cover for Japanese translation of the book, featuring a fresco of Paul.

I'm working on some sidebars for my commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and honestly it's like I'm writing "2026: A Survivor's Field Guide"

1 Thes
1 Th 1.1–10: the in-breaking Word and the church
1 Th 2.1–16: maternal metaphors and the ideals of masculinity in the christian leader
1 Th 2.17–3.13: the ‘third agent’ and a contested world
1 Th 4.1–18: grief and the ‘rapture’
1 Th 5.1–11: peace and security? the blasphemous claims of empire
1 Th 5.12–28:

2 Thes
2 Th 1.1–12: suffering and endurance
2 Th 2.1–3.5: the lawless one & the restrainer: cosmic warfare and apocalyptic politics AND/OR holy war/violence
2 Th 3.6–18: the eschatological value of Christian work

Just back from Texas after a few fantastic days at the J Louis Martyn centennial symposium at @baylor.bsky.social. Great papers, rich conversations, and the launch of three new BUP books by @pgziegler.bsky.social, Beverly Gaventa, and me.

Me and Dave Nelson with the first copy of my new book, "Theology on the Run: Apocalyptic Pastoral Theology in the Thessalonian Letters"

In Sweden, heading to ALT School of Theology in Örebro for a two-day conference on “future challenges in Pauline studies.” I’m doing a paper proposing a conversation between the ‘Paul within Judaism’ and ‘apocalyptic Paul’ perspectives. So I expect to come home having pleased nobody.
