New Radical Writers event announced! Isaac Watts is one of Abney's most famous connections, and his hymns are still sung to this day. But why was he considered so radical? Dr Daniel Johnson finds out on 26th June. abneypark.org/upcoming-event… #AbneyEvents

Glad to participate my friend Dr Daniel Johnson ‘s talk at Abney Park on the radical hymns of Isaac Watts. Cannot think of anyone better to talk about this hymn papa!

God of all nations, we thank you for the gift of this land we call Canada. Make us mindful of the truth of our history, faithful in our care for one another & generous in shaping a just future. Bless our leaders with wisdom, our communities with peace & our hearts with gratitude.

Enjoyed reading Fatima Manji ‘s fantastic book. Wish there is a sequel on East Asians in British history. Nevertheless, Fatima said it beautifully—pages 184–186—what I would offer as a proposal and call for church historians, i.e., to reimagine a metanarrative. Thank you, Fatima!

Self-promotion is really a repulsive vice in today’s academy, especially among evangelical scholars.

“Many vices may [disguise] as virtues” (St Gregory, Book of Pastoral Rule, 2.9).

As people are fascinated by Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling, I think Neil Gaiman is really important, especially for those who read theology. I really hope someone to work on Gaiman’s novels from a theological perspective. In particular, to study his American Gods and Good Omens.

Absolutely thrilled to find this book in my pigeonhole today, which was written by my great friend Janice Pibworth! Ada Habershon’s hymn “He will hold me fast” has been a great blessing to my life. I’m very sure that Janic/ book could be a brilliant Christmas gift idea!!

Hugely congratulations to Prof Heath and Dr Brown! It’s a milestone achievement in Canadian Baptist history!

Sad to learn Prof Paul A Cohen passed away. I’m so indebted to his works though I’ve never had the privilege to meet him. May he rest in peace!

The Nicene-Constantinopletan Creed is not just a historical creed, but a living confession—essential to Christian formation, worship, hermeneutics, theology, and spirituality. Any opposition to it is either premodern heresy or modern nonsense.

Been reading a lot of & about the fathers this semester. Really regret that at seminary, I wasted too much money on contemporary books rather than buying primary sources. My advice is to buy critical editions of primary sources and only use library copies for secondary sources!
