“The reservoir from which a life of ministry draws is filled & nourished by the prayerful study of God’s Word.”
This was a wonderful project to work on! I read Sailhamer’s programmatic essay each year w/ students as we consider strengths + weaknesses of theological education.
How might Scripture shape a seminary’s shared life?
The Seminary as a Textual Community gathers John Sailhamer’s vision for theological education alongside essays on hermeneutics, history, and disciplinary dialogue. @chedspellman

In these last days (of 2026), my task is to shape this into its final form before it is received and redacted by the editorial scribal elite and hopefully launched into the literary ether to be assigned either ἀναγινώσκεσθαι or to the outer darkness of the remaindered.
The project on biblical lament I've been working on these last few years is now slated for this coming March! It's now available for pre-order if you're interested.
More specifically, that the rhythm of biblical lament provides the grammar and syntax by which believers are enabled to articulate a gospel hope in a world marked by suffering and injustice.
I hope this book is able to encourage us.

My forthcoming book with Brandon Smith will be released in January and is available with a 40% pre-order discount.
It's brief (130 pp) and seeks to show the value of both close reading and theological reflection.
The "7 truths" are drawn from one of my favorite Christological statements in the early church (the Definition of Chalcedon).
I hope it's helpful. May our Lord be honored by our reflection on who he is and what he's done for us and for our salvation!

This is a wonderful new resource for those thinking about mission work!
