The Heythrop Journal, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 796-811, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Abstract: The following article evaluates two common arguments for preterist interpretations of Mark 13:24‐27, collectively dubbed the ‘time‐text’ argument.

Seeing, Embodying, and Proclaiming Christ
International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 413-424, July 2023., 2023 Abstract This essay examines the way Irenaeus of Lyons describes Blandina in her martyrdom: seen by others as embodying Christ and so encouraging them to also bear witness and be born into life by the Virgin Mother, the Church. It explores in particular Irenaeus' exegetical moves, so as to regain a sense of the unity of theology and exegesis as a ...

Body Without End: Biological Mutualism and the Body of Christ
International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 312-328, April 2023., 2023 Abstract This article argues that the ecological turn towards biological mutualism enlivens our understanding of the eschatological promise contained in Christ’s resurrected and ascended body. I examine the implications of proposing that Christ’s body was not only incarnate as microbiome, but also rose and ascended as microbiome.

Human hope and the reign of God
Dialog, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 20-26, Spring 2022., 2022 Abstract This article discusses the theological virtue of hope in relation to the Christian expectation of God's coming reign. Hope, as distinct from optimism and from all sorts of individualistic hopes, refers to God's gift of future. Hence, the tension between expecting God's coming reign, on the one hand, and the challenge of living constructively ...

Is (it) time to leave eternity behind? Rethinking Bildung's implicit temporality
Journal of Philosophy of Education, Volume 55, Issue 4-5, Page 589-605, August-October 2021., 2021 Abstract Motivated by Gadamer's identification of Bildung's ‘Vorbild‐Bildung‐Nachbild’ (model‐process‐result) structure, a historical tracing of the Christian messianic heritage in Bildung is conducted. As Bildung grows into an educational concept with global aspirations, this heritage might prove a substantial theoretical obstacle.
