After a long absence which I will not bother to explain — except to apologize, I will once again begin posting to the blog. And you thought it was dead. (It’s a sad state of affairs when one loses one’s near pole position on the NTGateway blogroll).

This year I am teaching the “Founders of Christianity” course (click for course outline) at York University, which is an introduction to early Christian writings. So many of my posts may relate to that course. As to research, I’m still working on immigrant groups in the Greco-Roman world and religion and travel, so those will come up as well.
