A truly fascinating read #thisweek: #theraceforuniversalmonarchy by #EbruTuran (@ColumbiaUP, 2026), professor of history @FordhamNYC. #ifnothingelsegoogle: '#MollaKâbiz'.

SO helpful! Grateful to @martinwhittingham, Academic Dean of @CMCSoxford, for #ahistoryofmuslimviewsofthebible. #nothingquitelikeit

#ChristianityandtheQuran by @GabrielSaidR is so thoughtprovoking! I'm only about a 3rd of the way in, but already my highlighter-pen is running dry...

Great quote from a book filled with timeless #wisdom for a #preacher: R. E. O. White, 'A Guide to Preaching: A Practical Primer of Homiletics' (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1973), 131.

To be clear, @CTmagazine's #Christmas cover is objectionable because it is accurate. M. Bendroth, "Mainline Protestants & Children," in Children & Childhood in American Religions, ed. D. S. Browning & B. J. Miller-McLemore (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2009), 26 –

The @CTmagazine cover got me thinking... Graham Reside, "The State of Contemporary Mainline Protestantism," in The Future of Mainline Protestantism in America, ed. J. Hudnut-Beumle & M. Silk (New York: Columbia University Press, 2018) –

A scene of a childless Christmas on the cover of @CTmagazine: an accurate yet damning indictment of western Christianity? A cheerful Jeremiad holding our feet to the fire? Oh wait—there they are: they’re relegated to the back.

#OTD October 16, 1555:
English reformers Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer are burned at the stake at the order of Roman Catholic Queen Mary Tudor.

Ridley was the first to strengthen his friend. “Be of good heart, brother, for God will either assuage the fury of the flame, or else strengthen us to abide it.”

As the bundle of sticks caught fire beneath them, Latimer had his turn. Raising his voice so Ridley could hear, he cried, “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”

@evernote I'm having chronic issues and so far your customer support has been less than great. I cannot log into the web version of my account, & my devices are showing different numbers of notes. I have been a paying customer for more than a decade and you're giving me ZERO help

@NicholasMcD Love this!
