I’m off to Oxford this week to give a paper on gender, politics, and theology! But first, a visit to Trinity College Bristol to get to know folks and see the city.

Today I went to a systematic theology conference and every paper I heard were given by women. I think that’s terrific. #LATC

I just finished administering my ethics exams. I let the students pick the topics to discuss from what we covered in class. An overwhelming majority chose to reflect on sexual assault. I’m grateful to see a new generation of ministers take this issue seriously.

If it can be demonstrated that a particular understanding of human nature is facilitating systemic trauma to significant swaths of its participants, then that construal must be abandoned, for it could not be from God, for God is not a God of evil. @fellipedovale.bsky.social Gender as Love

Our lives are enclosed by scars. We begin life with a scar (basically what a belly button is), we accumulate scars all throughout, and we will resurrected with our scars like Christ. That should shape our expectations for ourselves and others, I think.

Some lovely friends are editing a series with Zondervan called, “Thinking Theologically About…” and I’m signed up to do the “Thinking Theologically About Trauma” volume! So after I finish the follow-up to Gender as Love, that’s what I’ll be thinking about.

In Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut suggests that the reason the infant Jesus did not cry (as the song goes) was not because he was some kind of super-baby, but because he came into the world having witnessed so much darkness that his tears are spent. That’s powerful to me.

Congrats to my colleague Kevin Vanhoozer on getting the CT award! I’m honored that Gender as Love was even in the running, even more by the kind words from Brian Brock.

I’m really grateful to see this come to fruition 🥹 I wouldn’t be where I am now without Billy, and I miss him lots. I’m glad for the opportunity to honor him.

On election night here in the U.S., I was privileged to give one of the “Healthy Dialogue” lectures at Calvin University on the topic of gender and politics. If you’re curious about it, the video is below 👇😊 youtu.be/o2KrpL3-NOI?...

Another #ETS & #SBLAAR done and dusted. As usual, the best part was connecting with dear friends and meeting lovely new ones.

Rowan Williams’ review of Peterson’s new book is outstanding. “the…contempt for nuance and disagreement…and the reduction of any alternative perspective to its most shallow or trivial form, does not encourage the serious engagement Peterson presumably wants” www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

I just hit 50,000 words in the second book! Also gearing up for a section that develops a new theology of modesty that pushes back against more problematic versions and encourages modesty as communicating new worth in Christ through our clothes.
