Taught two classes today. Recorded an online lecture before 6am. Rolled into the terminal at MKE five minutes before departure. Dodged a snow storm on the way. My point? I’m on my way to #sblaar24 but I was never combobulated to begin with. At MKEAirport

Annual self-promotion 4 #AARSBL24. Do you like food? What about baths? Ever thought about baptizing your bed? Are you a fan of the 80s Australian AltRock group Midnight Oil? You’re not alone! Come to my paper “‘How Do We Sleep While Our Beds Are Baptized?’ Tohorot and Baptism in Mark 7:4” Mon 11/25

NT / EC Studies Hive Mind: I’m finishing up an intro exegesis course syllabus on Romans and I have a few slots for reception history. Any accessible seminary-level articles or patristic / modern passages of Romans interp you would recommend? 20pp.-ish

I think my abstract has been accepted (or not?) to Oxford Patristics. See those of you who like Origen, Paul, or Origen and Paul there. Hopefully.

My favorite day in Intro NT is my “Here’s some bits of Stoic physics… Now here’s Paul talking about baptism and the Spirit” lecture. The red dots are πνεύμα, drawn last week in my setup lecture. Today, I draw “clothing in Christ” and “Christ formed in you” in there.

It’s one of those “Crushed moth on your student’s paper” days. My scribble reads: “Sorry (student)! A moth found its way into my grading folder and then got crushed in my bag! Sic transit gloria mundi.”

Here's my latest article, in open access: I analyze Mark's use of immersive narrative to portray ritual acts in reference to baptism, arguing that attention to rites known prior to Mark (i.e. in Paul) allows audience-oriented readings via text-oriented means. www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/14...
