On being (a doctoral student in theology) The rewards of an academic career in theology are many, but so are the reasons not to apply.
New child, new dissertation, new holiness? I began working on my dissertation proposal about two weeks before my daughter’s birth. My dissertation is now one chapter old and my daughter is seven months.
Suffer the little children Maybe having children is a goad to holiness because it shows us just how little progress we actually make in holiness.
Holy living in the PhD desert In those PhD years, I think I learned a number of things about structure, sin, silence, and solitude.
