2. Finish my series review of Jesus
in an Age of Neoliberalism. Now that I’ve completed my interview with
James Crossley, I can really hammer him.
3. Finish my book.
4. Finish my essay for JSHJ.
5. Try to use The Jesus Blog for more self-promotion. There
have been complaints by our readers that Chris and I don’t talk about our own
projects enough.
6. Considerably more David Bowie in my life.
7. Floss more.
8. Re-read Rafael Rodríguez’s book.
When I first read it, I was trying to avoid words of Latin origin, so the
experience was heavily redacted.
9. Write George R.R. Martin ten more letters demanding that
his next book be published yesterday.
10. Read Dunn’s Beginning from
Jerusalem. I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t even own it.
11. Tell Chris what I really think of his taste in cigars. If I have to smoke one more Swisher Sweet…
12. Lead a tour of Turkey and Israel.
13. Invite Jesus Blog readers to participate in a tour of
Turkey and Israel.
Joking about self-promotion doesn't disguise the inherent nature of blogging generally (and your blog in particular).
ReplyDeleteSurely this applies to the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog, too, Peter.
DeleteWho said that I was joking?
DeleteAnthony, re: #13: I used to live in Istanbul (1995 and 1996) and have traveled all around Greece and Turkey. I have looked into doing this with students at our college. Perhaps we can collaborate?
ReplyDeleteSounds like we're getting somewhere. What time of year is best for weather?
DeleteCriticizing Swisher Sweets is dangerous where I'm from.
ReplyDeleteAnthony,
ReplyDeleteLate spring and early summer are good times to travel in Turkey. It's cold there this time of year. Over the past few years I have been looking into this and have had some preliminary discussions with Michael Hartwig of Illume (and he was referred to me by Mike Gorman).
