Finals update
In a few hours, I will turn in my last paper ever.

This will leave me with only 2 papers and a final exam before I am done with my MDiv degree.

I think we all knew this was true.
For those of you looking for this in Biblical scholarship (and I know you are) check out Dale Matin’s response to Richard Hayes entitled “Heterosexism and the Interpretation of Romans 1:18-32,” in which he basically says the same thing about scholars who want to read Romans 1 as an indictment against homosexuality.
