I had a great time speaking at the North American Lutheran Church's theology conference in the Canadian Rockies. Grateful for the opportunity to communicate the theology of mission I outlined in Virtuous Persuasion to a group of dedicated pastors. Also--the hiking was incredible...

@Jeb_R Looks like an amazing conference

The program for our final conference, "Exegesis and Theology: Pauline Exegesis Between Biblical Scholarship, History of Christianity, and Systematic Theology," is now live here. Can't wait to be back in Zurich. unige.ch/ihr/fr/accueil…

High-octane strains of Augustinianism could make some hay out of this alternative translation...

@alfarojoshua3 Congrats!

It's finally here! I have an essay in this volume arguing that the Greek Esther Additions were originally composed in Greek, not Hebrew, based (partly) on... Hebraisms.

@RandyJPrice That's wonderful news--congratulations!

Friends, I am excited to announce that I have been admitted as a PhD student in religious studies, with a concentration in systematic theology, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX I’ll be moving to Dallas this summer to begin the program in the Fall

A great lecture coming to @TASeminary in April...

This Ash Wednesday I am preaching at the ecumenical service in Bolton Hill (Catholics, Presbyterians, and Episcopalians--what would John Knox and Thomas Cranmer think?). It's my usual pessimistic Augustinian rant. homileticdiakonia.blogspot.com/2026/02/ash-we…

@JohannesFlacius Thanks for sharing this--a beautiful sermon!

Perhaps my favorite sermon of Gerhard Forde: 1517.org/articles/a-pla…

Tech-grump dads like me predictably love the movie Wall-E, but a realistic sequel would probably be pretty bleak

In a nutshell: Q: Does heightened emphasis upon Nicene commitments come at the expense of stifling the richness of Holy Scripture and muting the pluriform witness of Christians across time and space? A: Not if we trace the upshot of Nicaea as Basil and Gregory of Nyssa do

@Jeb_R Congrats!

Might have shed a few tears of sheer relief and gratitude after formally submitting my dissertation yesterday. It’s the culmination of nearly 5 years of research and writing.

@WarrenKinghorn @DukeTMCI This looks like an excellent paper, and comes at a good time as we are just now talking about Christian dying in our ethics course at the NALS

Congrats to @DukeTMCI TMC alum Micah Rojo on this paper about how medical systems make it hard to talk directly about death, and the role of the nurse as a "courageous truth-teller." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

@RandyJPrice This tweet is a rare L, and calls into question your status as a bonified Anglo-Lutheran

The organ is a terrible instrument. I’d rather listen to a kindergarten class armed with Kazoos.

@FredFredSanders Thanks, Fred. This is very kind of you to say. I'm looking forward to reading your article--hope we can catch up in Boston at some point

Oct 2025 IJST has a theme issue on Nicaea w/6 articles, including one from me. The Anatolios & Luy articles are especially good!

Dr. Tite Tiénou, the Tite Tiénou Chair of Global Theology and World Christianity, Research Professor of Theology of Mission, and Dean Emeritus of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), received the honorific title of Chevalier de l'Ordre de l'Étalon from the government of Burkina Faso in April 2025. Dr. Tiénou received this distinguished honor alongside four members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Burkina Faso. “Dr. Tienou is widely recognized as one of evangelicalism's leading theologians and missiologists whose influence spans the globe,” says Dr. Craig Ott, Professor of Mission and Intercultural Studies at TEDS. “It is most fitting that his country of origin has honored him with this significant award.” The title, which translates to “Knight of the Order of the Stallion,” is the highest honorary distinction in Burkina Faso. The award recognizes personal merit and eminent civil or military service to the nation, according to the website for the Grand Chancellery of the Burkinabe Orders. Dr. David Pao, Dean and Professor of New Testament at TEDS, said, “Dr. Tite Tiénou is a distinguished global theologian whose influence extends well beyond the academy. This honor further affirms his vital contributions in the public square. TEDS is proud to count Dr. Tiénou among our own.”
