Our degrowth and liberation theology book in the spring, Hannah's abolition book on the fall, they're cooking over there at @fortresspress.bsky.social.
OK but this is too exciting to wait on sharing: my book! It has a cover! (Coming in November from Fortress Press, pre-orders will be available sooooooon)

Salvation in Henri de Lubac now exists in a paperback edition! With the discount code 14FF20 at the @undpress.bsky.social website, there's a 20% discount. This makes it cheaper there than on Amazon (and you don't enrich any oligarchs that way...It's a win-win!).
I remain really proud of this one.

It's release day for Christological Dogmatics!

I try to cover the bases: historical debates, global development, exegesis, moral theology.

I use less-known figures to supplement well known ones: Cyril of Alexandria, Aimee Semple McPherson, Gregory Nazianzus, Jon Sobrino, Robert Clarence Lawson...

Somehow Lefebvre returned....
Who can blame them? Me. I can blame SSPX. It's very easy.

Such a tiny cross to bear, all the special attention and efforts at reconciliation for decades, when some of my queer Catholic students are *afraid to go to any Mass.*

Grateful to @jonathanrheaps.bsky.social for this clear-sighted, measured approach to our present distress. No naive optimism, but also a refusal of despair.
Things Will Get Better Before They Get Worse
For Bernard Lonergan, the drama of human history is—even right now, even in the United States—in the process of being redeemed by God through grace.

I like Pritzker, but I also don't give a fuck if the people terrorizing communities and murdering people in the streets are well trained or not (both of the recent murderers seem to have been so).
Donald Trump’s agents are untrained, unqualified, unprofessional, and dangerous.

It’s time for them to stop their assault on American cities.

ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Marquette Theology is hiring for two tenure track positions, in New Testament and Historical or Systematic Theology. We have a Ph.D. program, reasonable cost of living in a vibrant city, and obviously, awesome colleagues. Please share! 🧵

You will never find people with less regard for human life than parents dropping their kids off for school.
You can tell that car-based school drop off/pick up is deranged from inside your motor vehicle, but buddy get on a bike for it and you get a special kind of clarity
The other issue by the HS is parents pulling in the bike lanes every 50 yards to drop their kids off/pick them up, also rendering them unusable/dangerous 🤬

I don't at all support disrupting services in houses of worship. At the same time, a whole lot of people who've been silent about ICE brutalizing their neighbors sure are telling on themselves by clutching their pearls over the protest of the church with an ICE field director on its pastoral staff.

It feels weird to promote my book while our country is descending into fascism, but its subject, Henri de Lubac, was active in anti-Nazi resistance during the occupation of France, so engaging with his thought is a good practice of all of us in these trying times.

I've been looking forward to the new translation of the Liturgy of the Hours for years. Disappointed when they announced it would be published by Word on Fire. Wasn't sure how I'd handle it in classes where I assign it. This settles it: we're switching to apps. No funds for collaborationist grifters

Seems appropriate to begin reading the works of Yves de Montcheuil, SJ, who was murdered by the Gestapo one week after Renee Good was murdered by ICE.

You can't persuade Trumpers because they don't care about truth, goodness, or reality. Conversion is the only way forward.
Persuasion Won't Work When Conversion is Needed
