Pics of my book in the world coming in🥳🤯🤠. This one has it lined up with Thomas Aquinas, causing ultimate Imposter Symdrome, tho I also imagine Thomas looking over and saying, "Don't worry, Lil' Brother, you fit right in here with the tradition of critical inquiry."

The center-left's long run on power made Stanley Hauerwas' call for the church to be the church counterintuitive, outrageous and blasphemous. That run is over and the Time of the Church is here. To that end I return to Duke this summer as Professor of Theology.

Congratulations to Robert Miner on this edition, now in stock, which presents #Aquinas’s groundbreaking treatment of the passions in a rigorous but accessible translation, with an introduction that situates the work within a long tradition of thinking about the passions

My first book comes out next week with Oxford University Press. From beginning to end, it’s a book that does not exist without @Baylor’s support and resources. It began as a dissertation project while I was a PhD student in history, taking classes and learning from professors in

There's the trace of natural law reasoning in Angela Davis' "Women and Capitalism" (amazing for, among other reasons, having been written in prison) where she suggests that the promise of revolution lies in "nature" as revealed in Black women's family life. Super interesting.

Chinatowns across the world have long been the genius of people eking out lives on the underside of political economies that simutaneouly exploit and enclose. What's happening in Philadelphia is the other side of that racial capitalist coin. https://t.co/g08xRj2A08

I've never written a poem and can hardly claim to understand it, but what Ocean Vuong says here about writing and teaching poetry resonantes much with how I think about writing and teaching theology. https://t.co/e2BZBBixAT
