Publication day for a book that Matthew and I spent six years on, anguished over, fought for, rewrote twice, and nearly abandoned. I hope it proves useful in continuing important conversations about the ancient world and about the societies we choose to build today.

Such a wonderful and fun time!
Fab afternoon with @catholicbiblical.bsky.social discussing Rafael Rodriguez's book on 1&2 Thess. Honoured to be part of a fun and thoughtful panel with @mjpoc.bsky.social John Dunne, and Carlos Garcia Alayon thinking about social boundaries, hospitality, judgment, and apocalypticism.
