“This was the heart of Bonhoeffer’s theological critique of fascism: fascism seduces by promising knowledge of good and evil, shrouding its own violence in a fantasy of moral clarity. His greatest act of antifascist resistance is thus not some act of righteous violence but his own steadfast refusal to see even the most necessary and seemingly justifiable violence as a positive moral good.” www.christiancentury.org/features/…

I’m reminded this week that the huge, selfish silver lining of the 2020 lockdowns was that my young kids didn’t get sick for almost an entire year! Different story now! 🥴🤧
Feels like I’ve got a great big lump of dread stuck in my throat the past few weeks. Anyone else?
It’s a special kind of parenting despair when you’re not quite fully recovered from the illness your children gave you, and they’re already getting sick again with something new. 🤧🥴🤒
OK, I disabled and re-enabled Threads cross-posting. Now, how do I get the yellow error banner on my Micro.blog Timeline page to go away? @help
I still think leaving theological academia was the right choice, and I continue to love my new career as a software engineer. BUT, I really do miss going to AAR/SBL every November and getting to hang with friends, browse the book hall, see how many free drinks I could get at various receptions, etc.
I don’t know if it’s worth the effort, but I’d love to trouble some evangelical consciences over the “mass deportation now!” nonsense.
What’s something you’re looking forward to this week?
“Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”
“Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife” (Prov. 17:1). Going to make this our young family’s life verse for a while!

What books are getting you through the day these days? Also, are you adding any books to your personal library just in case?
What music is getting you through the day these days?
I’m on the lookout for slogans, quotes, symbols, songs, icons, etc. that could prove useful in the current fight against fascism and Christian Nationalism. Anything come to mind?
Sick day. Finally getting to watch Rings of Power Season 2!
Can someone help me diagnose why my RSS feed isn’t being pulled into micro.blog? My Hugo site has its feed at joshuapsteele.com/feed.xml, and it looks like there’s a feed there, but it doesn’t seem to be working as an MB source. I don’t see posts on MB timeline or cross-posted. @manton @help
