Check out this series "Esther in Modernity," organized by Elena Petrova-Libgober and Dror Birger. The next is tomorrow (7/14). I'm presenting the following week (7/21) on Hegseth-adjacent Douglas Wilson, including his steampunk screenplay based on Esther. With @alexianafry.bsky.social responding.

Hi, friends. An FYI for those interested: I've published an article in JSP about Esther as "American scripture." Includes analysis of the Heritage Foundation's "Project Esther" (2024) and its strategies for regulating free speech, higher education, immigration, and foreign policy.

One of these days I’ll get it together to actually use social media for more than sharing my own professional updates. But in the meantime: this is official. New professional email address coming in January. Very excited to get started.

No way I’d miss it!

My collection of books from the JH-K expanded universe, if you’ll pardon the phrase.

Listening to @jillhickskeeton.bsky.social discuss "Good Book" on Straight White American Jesus and — all respect to Brad Onishi — I am definitely *not* finishing it in two hours. SO much to think about, and re-think about, in these pages. www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com/episodes/is-...

#AARSBL23 folks, don't take too long at lunch today! Come to Pauline Epistles at 1pm. I made up a word and I'd love the chance to show how it's useful. I'll in part be analyzing the work of Scot McKnight. Hope to see you there!

Good Book 📖 is now under $20 with the Fortress Press discount code for #aarsbl23. Also, though, if you are a grad student and want the book but can’t swing it, be in touch. I have a few personal copies I can share.

So excited to start reading GOOD BOOK by @jillhickskeeton.bsky.social. Having flipped through it, I can tell this is going to be not only a good but a great book. The discussion of Beth Allison Barr is worth the price alone. www.fortresspress.com/store/produc...

You would think this is a photo of Peroni in Italy but it’s actually an academic at 40 who can keep pasta sauce off her pants but not arthritis cream. #bertinorobound
