When I initially mentioned that the good people at Baylor University Press were publishing a compendium of my ramblings, some folks from Canada asked if there were a way to buy the book in the birthplace of hockey. Indeed, now there is ( Read more... )

Are you trying to compare your book to the pope's encyclical?

Blasphemer.

The encyclical almost certainly has fewer references to professional wrestling, but I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet.

"The encyclical almost certainly has fewer references to professional wrestling."

To its detriment, I'm sure.

I bet your book won't upset nearly as many whiny atheists as the new encyclical will.

Oh, I can only imagine the outrage over this encyclical, which restates things he has been saying for years. I hope that people attention to the criticism of certain strands of Christianity; that might actually provoke some interesting discussion.

I'm really excited for your book to be released. I work at the Baylor Press and have managed to sneak a couple of peaks at it. It's so much more interesting than the usual academic books we publish (escatalogical visions in Ezekiel anyone?).

Hey, thank you! I appreciate that. I've been really happy with how hard everyone at Baylor has been working on this, given that it's a bit of a departure from what the press usually publishes. Eschatological visions in Ezekiel are a blast, don't get me wrong, but my book includes a Christian rap song.

Please note who the first two commenter are. Since when did #1 become a mod? Threatening to "bitch slap" anyone who responds...what authority does she have?

And look who is #2.

And I take it this is okay? So when and if I write a comment, I can look forward to this?

Your book, she has arrived! I speak as a genuine Canadian, toque upon head, to inform all and sundry that this Livejournal post does not lie.
