Hey Hornets! This is our last Issue for the semester! Banned Books The art of literature is that, in its purest form, it is interpretative and subjective. Books are vessels used to relay messages by telling stories. However, those stories do not always come without opposition. #universityoflynchburg #lynchburg #lynchburghornets #uofl #thecritograph #critograph #studentmedia #lynchburgnews #lynchburgva #lifeintheburg #studentvoice

ICYMI: I edited this week's edition of The Sunday Long Read even though I've never been featured in it. But this is more than OK, considering the not-too-recent past. I bet things are better for you, too. From my introductory essay. You can read the rest here. https://lnkd.in/eC-WcY6F

I did it! I have submitted the preliminaries, manuscript and end matter of TIBERIUS to my commissioning editor at Pen and Sword Books — all 210,000 words of it! Watch for updates on its publication. #history #romanhistory #bookmarketing

The manuscript has been approved. Look for it in August. 🔵 12 essays by 11 contributors 🔵 1 appendix 🔵 Numerous figures of mss; tables 🔵 Indexes ✅ And one tired editor. I hope this volume continues to illuminate how early Christian scholars viewed their biblical texts, the tasks of correction and exegesis, and also how we benefit from receiving their work even as we continue in their spirit of innovating these disciplines.

New for 2025! Fundamentals of Literature (Third Edition) teaches students not just to comprehend what they’re reading but also to analyze and reflect on it. This anthology of literary works includes classics such as “The Most Dangerous Game” and modern works such as The Radium Girls. Students will compare texts, evaluate an author’s purposes, and compare what they read to a biblical worldview framework as they engage with these selections.  #BJUPressEducation #BJUPressHomeschool #2025BJUPress

Kathryn Rudy's "Piety in Pieces" is a truly fascinating monograph detailing how the medieval manuscript was lovingly pieced together throughout the object's enduring history. Adorned by an increasingly literate medieval laity in the 14th-15th centuries, one's Book of Hours went through revisions, updates, and personalizations (or depersonalizations) from owner to owner. The ability to alter one's Book of Hours changed forever with the advent of the print-press and the shift away from the "modular method" of manuscript assembly. Rudy's writing style is informative yet casual enough to make a highly academic text both enjoyable and consistently engaging. "Piety in Pieces" is a book I would recommend to anyone interested in the medieval period at large; but, especially those who admire the capability of a manuscript to serve as a memory receptacle. My own copy of this text is now, as medieval readers may have once done to their own copies, covered in annotations (and a sad attempt to replicate the manicule).

If you missed my new essay out yesterday via Merion West, here it is again. The article is based on some of my experimental writings at Oxford. I hope you'll read and consider it! https://lnkd.in/gv5UB8jM
