Unholy crap! My Vigiliae Christianae article just dropped. I argue that an apparently lost letter of Valentinus–on Jesus's lack of excrement–is preserved in Basil of Caesarea's letter collection.

Typesetting for Origen's Contra Celsum and Clement's Paedogogus is complete! Very grateful for the efforts of Lux Patrum's outstanding editors, who have made my own workload inestimably lighter. These massive volumes will appear in short order.

Some thoughts on translating monogenēs, plus a translation of Book XXV of Cyril’s Thesaurus: open.substack.com/pub/patristi...
On Translating Monogenēs: A Proposal

To all who have asked when Lux Patrum's Latin-English edition of Augustine's De Trinitate will be released, I'm pleased to say that, after much delay, we've just made arrangements with Brepols to use the CCSL Latin text. You can expect the volume to be published by year's end!
