Congratulations! Well done on getting this done and on the books and family and everything else, I am one of the many who have benefited from your work. On the PhD question - would love to hear more about PhD vs Mdiv options.

Congrats! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your work, and especially The Color of Compromise, it was ground breaking and life changing for me and my family. For so long facts have been covered up on n the church and you have brought many of them forward. It is sad that even today, instead of acknowledging what is wrong some churches still persist in not embracing the truth. I often look to the letters to the seven churches in Revelation and wonder where do certain churches fit in, because they all fit somewhere in that spectrum.

Dr J!

Congratulations on a job very well done! One question I have for your next post is- what was the experience of pursuing a PHD like as a mid-career student? I served as a social studies teacher in k-12 schools for 15 years and, after completing a seminary degree I’m considering applying for PhD in the history of American Christianity… at age 40! I’m fighting the feeling that these programs will consider me too old to begin a career as a scholar. Would love to read your thoughts on this.

Dr J!!

Big congratulations for you on this Milestone which you poured so much time and energy into... and I'm sure you are honoring the Giants upon whose shoulders you stand. That's because I have read your other works, attracted to the Color of Compromise when I saw posted in Notre Dame Magazine where we both got degrees. ☘ Catholic social ⚖!!

That book has helped me as an educator and learner... Which is important because I teach United States history to students here and Southern New England. Hope to meet you someday if and when you come to Boston at the BU Center for Antiracist Research. Congrats again on ALL of your accomplishments over the last five years! Including being a father! God bless you and guard you and keep you!
