Sean Hadley, one of our current PhD students in Humanities, positively reviews Robbie Castleman, Darian Lockett, and Stephen Presley’s edited volume Explorations in Interdisciplinary Reading: Theological, Exegetical, and Reception Historical Perspectives (Pickwick, 2017). Along the way, Sean provides some kind comments about my contribution in the volume.

For Sean’s full review, see the Stone-Campbell Journal’s fall 2018 issue, p.274. For background to the volume and a list of its contents, see “Castleman, Lockett, and Presley, eds., ‘Explorations in interdisciplinary reading’” and “‘Explorations in interdisciplinary reading’ is out.”
