Microsoft forcing Copilot on me (no I don't want you write my sermon for me, that's the part of my job I like!!) pushed me to the free open source LibreOffice.org No regrets. Word compatible and loads everything quicker. Why are we still paying Microsoft to ruin things? (yeah okay Active Directory)

Friend it is not.

This is how it ends: academic hyper-regulation, despite contributing nothing to knowledge or learning or formation of actual students, steadily increases until 2035 when AcAdmin accounts for 100% of the cost of higher education. The System's solution is never not more System.

Shocking if true.

How should Christians respond to the ‘Woke’ movement?

Did a little sermon in City on a Hill's "Ask Anything" series answering the question "how should Christians respond to the 'woke' movement?" open.spotify.com/episode/0A0I...

Not sure about this Doug! Baker is still a family-owned business I think? And Logos is held by private equity. My experience with Zondervan is they are an amazing team with the passion of a family business

a bargain at any price!

YouTube video by City on a Hill Is it okay to believe in evolution? And if yes, where to draw the line with Darwinian theory?

Got asked to do a little sermon at my church on whether the Bible and Darwinian Evolution are compatible or contradictory www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlEJ...

Oh man. Thanks for sharing. She was an amazing teacher

Trivia time: three people kill lions in the Hebrew Bible. Who are they?

Transferable skills for cyber no doubt, with all that lateral movement

Gets her gymnastics talents from you?

"This cookbook is terrible". I guess I only have myself to blame for this review of Modern Genre Theory 😆

Playing with Scripture: Reading Contested Biblical Texts with Gadamer and Genre Theory This book puts a creative new reading of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics and literary genre theory to work on the problem of Scripture. Reading texts as Scripture brings two hermeneuti...

My nerdy book on Gadamer and why people don't agree on what the Bible means is now in paperback for the bargain basement price of USD $45 / AUD $90. www.routledge.com/Playing-with...

Book Review: Modern Genre Theory (Judd) Andrew Judd thinks its time to retire classical genre theory in favor of modern genre theory. I think he's (mostly) right.

A thoughtful review of Modern Genre Theory from Aaron Downs on his substack. (I'll take "mostly right" any day of the week!) aarondowns.substack.com/p/book-revie...

My 6 year old casually discussing “phonemes” and “split di-graphs” and “open syllables” over breakfast with her brother 🤓😳 The things they learn in the first 6 months of school!

You were on this trend like 15 years ahead of the rest of Australia

A New English Archbishop for Melbourne Anglicans: The Process from the Inside by Andrew Judd On Saturday 24 May 2025, the Anglican Church Diocese of Melbourne reached an historic inflection point, voting to elect Bishop Ric Thorpe as the next Archbishop of Melbourne.

I know you're all wondering what happened with the Melbourne Anglican Archbishop election thewadrproject.com/2025/05/28/a...

Matt 4:9!

All that love thy neighbour stuff wreaks of communism

I can think of some, in my context, but we have a very different set of legal, cultural and governance factors here … with their own drawbacks (the process itself becomes the punishment, for example). Abuse is horrible and corrosive because it often leaves only imperfect responses

Bold play there, dedicating a chapter on treaty curses to your wife

Superb work. I read them in the lead up to preaching on Good Friday and quoted you twice!

That Stings 😝

There are puddles and then there is Bible College First impressions of my new studies.It feels likeI thought I was jumping into a puddle. I jumped, and then when I had already made the splash I realised the puddle was actually an ocean. It’s not like...

I know I am falling behind and I must wake up my muscles to pull me through the water to the finish line.
But of course, there is no finish line.
This is the ocean. "

In discussions about Genesis with my 5-year-old theologian she shared that of course the result of the curse is that boys are annoying and disruptive in class. She produced a lot of persuasive evidence

Podcatcher didn’t update in time so just missed having you chaps on my ride home from work today. I’m not in security (or even adjacent … I’m a theologian) so your podcast has become a delightful way to decompress with something I’m not paid to care about. Keep up the great work

Amazing how often I have to reassure our American students that Australia is not nearly as full of dangerous creatures as they imagine! Relax!

In unrelated news, a spider ran out of my trouser leg this morning just as I was putting them on.

Absolutely. Not that there isn’t hard work and skill, but it’s the assumption of omnicompetence that is so ridiculous.

Ooooooo lovely cover! (And a great book too)
