Glad to receive a copy of my doktorvater’s latest book, which I was happy to endorse.

First day of the Spring semester at ⁦‪MBTS‬⁩ & Spurgeon College‬⁩! The forecast is looking good. 😎

Less than a week until the start of another semester at ⁦‪MBTS. Can’t wait to dive back into the language and theology of the Old Testament!

A very Happy New Year to to all! (except you people who prefer endnotes) 🥳

Merry Christmas from the Kings! 🎄

The holidays can be the hardest.

And just like that my little girl is #1 twice! Happy 11th to Naomi! 🥹

Students sometimes

One of my students has a scheduling conflict next semester and can’t take my class. She gave me this mug as parting gift. My students get me. 🤣

Of my forthcoming book projects, one I’m particularly excited about is my 40 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦. I love how accessible and wide-ranging these volumes are. Still a few years out but the wheels are turning.

Definitely my kid. The stack checks out.

My OT 1 students always have an assignment on Gen 6:1-4. Who do you think the “sons of God” are?

1) Fallen Angels

2) ANE Kings

3) Sethites

4) Other (comment below)

Meanwhile in KC. 🥶

Student: “Um Dr. King, how does a rag-tag voluntary army in need of a shower somehow defeat a global superpower?”
