Just a few random snapshots of this past week- outings, lectures, friends, and research projects... a actually a fairly accurate microcosm of my life right now, come to think of it... !
I keep telling myself that no matter how busy or tired I am, I need to set aside time at regular intervals to visit the museums etc. which I have access to here in Oxford. So above is the natural History Museum, to which is also attached the vastly interesting and truly weird Pitt Rivers Museum.
This is my main lecture room in Wycliffe Hall, although I also attend lectures in some University venues and also the OCCA facilities.
Hanging out with OCCA classmates:)
The state of my desk in the midst of researching Christian Views on War & Violence for a presentation/ talk I am assigned to give at an upcoming discussion group. The flow of books across my desk would make for an interesting record... one week its laden with Ancient Near eastern mythology texts and archaeological research, the next its a heap of Dostoevsky novels, literary reflection, and books concerning Christology. Those were interspersed with Biblical interpretation, second century Church history primary texts, the problem of evil, Augustine's confessions... and now its ethics, faith and war... the wide range of resources I am drawing from here never ceases to amaze me...and yet it all seems really the tip of the iceberg, as it were.
