We are at a time and place in the US where women's voices and freedoms are at risk. I cannot wait to read this arricle about a nameless woman whose voice was silenced by society, but was "heard" and elevated by Daniel centuries later.
Thank you for your important work, Daniel!

Would value your prayers as I speak in just a few minutes at #ETS24 on “Do You See This Woman,” exploring how Scripture compels us to see and hear women like Dinah, Tamar, and Hagar. Praying this brief talk helps make the church become safer.

I never knew that the Bible doesn’t say Bathsheba was on the roof! @carmenjoyimes.bsky.social’s ‘Take Another Look at Bathsheba’ revealed the text as a Rorschach test, exposing what readers see, and reveals what God sees—a victim of sexual violence. This paper was masterclass of exegesis.

An overlooked giant of the 18th century: Sarah Trimmer (1741-1810)! She authored over 40 works, had 12 children, spent time with the Queen, championed the poor, started Sunday Schools, and influenced Hannah More, Jane Austen, & William Godwin. We need a movie or monograph about her! #history

Took a family trip to London, exploring the historic churches in the City. This photo is from John Newton's church, where he met Wilberforce to discuss whether Wilberforce could stay in politics with a clear conscience. I'm grateful he did and fought the slave trade.

Enchanted by the Fellows' Library at Jesus College, Oxford. Immense pride in my friend for being a Fellow here. Now for a day immersed in Wilberforce's papers at the Weston.
