What a fantastic weekend we had celebrating our fifth annual New College Festival of Books and Beliefs! 📚🍂
We had a fabulous turnout for our exciting programme of speakers. It was so lovely to see everyone there as we explored the relationship between literature & belief 😊

As it appears in the SBL/AAR program book, my academic affiliation is now, apparently, the 'University *or* Edinburgh'; I promise you this wasn't my fault. I thought I had flagged this before the publication of the book, but looks like my SBL '25 will be forever associated with a typo.

A great interview about this paradigm-shifting book on ancient incarnation. Well worth the listen.

The San Francisco Giants beat the division-leading Dodgers 5-1 on Patrick Bailey’s grand slam in the 10th inning — and the team is now just a half game behind the Mets for a wild-card spot.

Every year I have the opportunity to be the official photographer for the Tom Robb Memorial Trail Race in Carron Valley. It’s an amazing event that raises funds for Alzheimer Scotland and Ochils Mountain Rescue. It's always a fun, life-affirming day out and it's a privilege to take part. 1/
