My book PURITY IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN came out in paperback today.

A nice, tiny review of my book Purity in the Gospel of John by Chris Seglenieks.

Time to share some of things I’ve been reading lately. First up “Purity in the Gospel of John” by Wil Rogan. Following in the vein of ‘within Judaism’ readings, he seeks to read the theme of purity without assuming its rejection by John. 1/3

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

(my message being: the incarnation is not an emergency measure in response to the fall but rather the realization of god’s everlasting purpose; this isn’t to deny a redemptive dimension to christ’s work but it is to say his person and presence exceed redemption)

I find Paul’s thanksgivings remarkable, and I wrote about why for Christianity Today.

Happy Thankless Thanksgiving - Christianity Today
Paul hardly ever thanked anyone directly. What can his refrain “I thank God for you” teach us about gratitude?

Home with a newborn (thank God for him!), so I won’t be joining the grand social and intellectual exchange that is #SBLAAR2024.
