The last of my books from the 2025 annual meetings finally arrived, so I’m finally posting book haul. Most of these are related to ongoing research projects, & others are for personal edification. Look forward to digging in, and wish you the best for your own research in 2026!

Had a great time lecturing on “Life in the Highlands during the Time of the Judges” earlier this week at the Liberty University School of Divinity! Enjoyed getting to know students over pizza, hearing about their research, and sharing with them on one of my favorite topics!

I love this video. I was apathetic about having children until our first daughter was born in 1998. When I held her for the first time, it changed everything. Since then, we’ve had seven pregnancies, with four surviving children, and being a dad has been my greatest joy.

Are Christian college and seminaries aware that the Department of Education is planning to eliminate federal loans for students majoring in religious studies, ministry, theology, biblical studies, etc. at the bachelor’s and master’s level?
