Ryan Voogt and I have a chapter on the history of Oastea Domnului in this cracking new book about Romanian Evangelicalism. You should buy it just for my bit (although the rest is good too).

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

I interviewed Bruce Venarde about his book “The Miracles of Mary in Twelfth Century France” on the New Books Network this week. It’s a collection of translated sources that is not for the squeemish. And it has dragons. With five heads.

My podcast interview with Stefan Ionescu about Justice and Restitution in Post-Nazi Romania (Cambridge UP, 2024) came out today. He describes how Jews had to sue the state to get their properties back only to have them confiscated by the Communists.
