I have been off of the blogging radar for a while for several reasons, the most pressing: I just returned from a holiday in Rome and I am getting ready to move back to the US having completed my phd.

I have plenty of books waiting for me to crack open and review once I return to the States.  Until then, time permits only a few short posts in the next two weeks or so.

I hope to post on the British New TEstament Conference and the glory of Aberdeen after the conference – as well as how my papers went.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice about Rome.  Other than the almost unbearable heat, we had a great time and enjoyed some really excellent ice cream.
