TESM

Hello all,

I know I've updated very sparringly and I apologize. School has been very busy, especially as I prepare my proposal for my thesis:

A pre-Nicene examination of Trinitarian theology as seen through Origen. Exciting, right?

I am also working on learning French and re-learning German. Any help from you blokes and blokettes is always appreciated!

Writing has been tedious as of late. Actually, this is one of the more prolonged writer's blocks I've had in a while.

In that regard, if any of you have come across difficult questions about faith or theology I'm happy to try and address them.

Have a blessed Lent,

M

Hello all,

Still at work on a number of things. Thought I might share with you what I'm looking into:

(1) Altruism from the perspective of (evolutionary) biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and theology

(some) Sources
Churchland--Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells us about Morality
Nietzsche--Genealogy of Morals
MacIntyre--After Virtue
Aristotle--De Anima (and scholarly essays)
Plato (essays about his works)


(2) Some translation projects involving Greek and Latin (nothing major, just time consuming)

I have some other stuff cooking in my little ol' brain, but nothing concrete just yet.

Til then, keep well, as I had the flu last week.

What are you all working on?

Be well,

M

Hey all,

Sorry for not posting much. Lots of school and other such requirements have kept me from writing. Working on a few things, but a lot of my writings are in the "research" phase right now.

Hey all,

I apologize for the little content I've made in the past few weeks.

Currently I'm assisting as a hospital chaplain for the summer. Certainly I've seen some difficult things: death, diagnoses that were anything but pleasant, car wrecks, etc.

But, I don't do this because it's pleasant, fun, or even (sometimes) fulfilling. I do it because just as Christ identifies with the sick, weak, and broken so too do I attempt to be Christ to them. Whether that's in their anger, grief, sorrow, or joy.

So pray for me as I continue for another 4 weeks. Pray for all of those in the hospital and those who work in them.

Hey all,

Just a quick anouncement:

I've set up a twitch account in order to stream some games for friends. First, no, I'm not doing this to be internet-famous. I've often played for my friends while they watched on the couch. Now that we're spread throughout the country (for now) I wanted to have an opportunity for us to relax together.

You're also more than welcome to tag along.

The channel is www.twitch.tv/castmatticmissle

or "castmatticmissle"

Thanks!

New written works coming up too!
