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

I like the first one. It succinctly expresses your main thesis.

Thanks Helen. Hope you did my lectionary joke. No class on preaching Revelation is complete without it.

I guess if they want to work with me, that would now be the awesome PhD programme at Aberdeen (who are the accreditors of the Trinity one!)

On my way to #AARSBL25. If anyone you know wants to chat about the awesome PhD programme at Trinity College, tell them to drop me a line.

Had a fun podcast conversation with Beverly Gaventa when I was at Baylor a couple of weeks ago, talking about our new BUP books on Paul's theology (hers on Romans, mine on Thessalonians). Thanks to Claire Mummert for hosting us! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

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.

The “I” of Romans 7 is finally identified! When he said “I do not do the good I want” he was talking about shot selection. You should write this up.

Came into the office to work on my new Romans class for this term, and found this in my pigeonhole. Excited to have my hands on a copy!

Fun with autocorrect today. First, I had Antiochus IV Epiphanes sacrificing a pug on the altar. And now this…

Thrilled for my Doktorvater! Not at all surprised to see this news. Sad for Aberdeen, but happy for Grant, and real win for Durham.
