New Year’s Greetings & Goals
With the fall term behind me, I am forging the path for my next great adventure. This year I plan to keep up with blog posts that summarize and share scholarly insight on biblical, theological, and related topics. I am also blog casting many posts and interviewing other scholars on my podcast. Since I also just acquired a large stack of sci-fi novels, you can expect posts about sci-fi themes and religious themes in science fiction.
