Excited to see this in the flesh at the AAR/SBL. @tristansturm.bsky.social and Andrew Crome have put together an excellent volume. I have a chapter on political theology and apocalypticism which is the first published version of my work on what I'm calling new apocalyptic tones.

There are many good reasons to cancel your Spotify subscription, not least the fact the platform is now running advertisements for ICE.
