The Latest Musings (6/24/2023)

Riddleblog Update:

If you listen to the Blessed Hope Podcast, I recently uploaded a postscript to season two: What Is Next for the Blessed Hope Podcast? Season Two Wrap-Up. I explain where we are going and why. Look for a short series entitled “The Future” before we start season three, when we take up Paul’s Corinthian letters.

Currently Reading:

Now that I am retired, I can read things I want to read just because I want to read them. And I have the time to do so.

First up was Jack Curry’s The 1998 New York Yankees -- The Inside Story of the Greatest Baseball Team Ever. A great read from someone who covered that team (Curry was the Yankees beat writer for the NY Times) and still had standing twenty-five years later to follow up with the players from that team in preparation for this book. There’s much here I didn’t know (David Wells had a terrible hangover when he pitched his perfect game), and much here I had forgotten (the Yankees were 73-1 when leading after seven innings, Bernie Williams won the batting title, El-Duque’s remarkable season, Jim Spencer’s incredible home run binge at the end of the year).

Musings (05/13/2023)

News and Updates:

This past week I wrapped up my Spring course (ecclesiology) at Westminster Seminary California. My three year term as visiting professor of systematic theology is up and a new full-time professor will be filling the gap which I had previously covered.

I truly enjoyed my time in the classroom, but am ready to step aside. Thanks to the WSC faculty for giving me the chance to finish up my career as a seminary professor! Thanks to the students who endured too many dad jokes and quips from the beloved Rod Rosenbladt (AKA “the prophet Rod”).

I’ll be plenty busy with the Riddleblog, The Blessed Hope Podcast, several book projects, as well as teaching the weekly adult Sunday school class at Christ Reformed Church.
