This week I received an advanced copy of my newest book, Paul and Imperial Divine Honors, which will be available for purchase on March 19, 2024!

I am grateful to everyone who had a hand in its production: my doctoral mother, Pheme Perkins (Boston College), for her thoughtful forward; and my book’s endorsers, Michael “Mike” Bird (Ridley College), Nijay Gupta (Northern Seminary), Christoph Heiling (University of Munich), and James “Jim” Harrison (Sydney College of Divinity), for their kind and generous endorsements. Moreover, I cannot thank the team at Eerdmans enough.

From the design of this book’s cover, to its layout, and to the quality of its images (they are a number of pictures of archaeological remains, inscriptions, coins, and statues in this book), I am thrilled and proud of our achievement.

Finally, there is one last person I wish to thank, which is someone I failed to mention in my book’s forward. I am grateful to Laurel Draper at Eerdmans for her hard work in editing this book and for putting up with my perfectionism during that process, which, as she can testify, was not easy. Laurel you did a fantastic job and if this book every goes into reprint I shall ensure that your name is in the forward!

You can purchase your copy of Paul and Imperial Divine Honors now directly from Eerdmans or from Amazon!
