I’m launching my new blog, ‘Pauline Dogmatics.’ Watch for frequent chatty posts on how to read Paul properly, along with various acts of shameless self-promotion!

We have until Oct. 16 to stop Texas from executing #RobertRoberson, an autistic father, on Texas' death row based on the discredited “Shaken Baby” syndrome: https://t.co/bOW48EnCNy.
This is shameful. He didn't do anything. And pretty much everyone knows it. Just stop it.
What's on my mind today? A lot of things. But amongst the least troubling is that I've started posting my Romans translation on my website. It is supposed to be an especially contemporary, colloquial, take. If I'm missing the mark badly, do let me know.

Yes--the faux Christocentrism of the law-and-order gospel. Jesus is Lord of the key bit of the broader argument that I make him Lord of. (And the Lord of the rest is really... me!)
@LauraRbnsn The basic problem here is that their underlying account of the Gospel is off, and the more sensitive among them are beginning to detect the anomalies. Ultimately, you have to police those concerns; you can't listen to them. Expect more fracturing. Jesus is at work!

@TGC How did we get to the point that attacking homosexuality and transgenderism became a full-time event that rivals Christmas in its importance (and ultimately misunderstands that event)? Rom 10:2-4
It will be clear what I think about @ProfDCampbell's "Pauline Dogmatics" from my endorsement on the back cover: it may be the most important book you ever read. And now it's on sale! https://t.co/4ehl7mdVAw
More reflections on the real Benedict option: "When [a follower of Christ] does speak, he should do so gently and without mockery, humbly and seriously, in a few well-chosen words." Food for thought. (1 Cor 3:1-3!)
