About Me

I'm a professor in the Humanities at University of the Pacific, a small liberal arts college in Stockton, CA. I teach in the Religious and Classical Studies Department. This blog is a place for me to think out loud about my varied interests—teaching, the academy, books, religion, the ancient world, cycling, American society—and whatever else happens to capture my attention. (See here for this blog's relationship to my old Biblical Studies blog. I'm not blogging Bible anymore.)
