Welcome!

There isn't much here, but its my page

I have many interests. Professionally, I currently work in Old English and Anglo-Latin literatures, and source criticism of the same.

More specifically in that sort of big area I work on:

On a slightly larger canvass, I look into European literature as a whole, making connections diachronically (i. e. how medieval literature appropriates and rewrites Biblical and Greco-Roman literature) and synchronically (i. e. making connections between Insular literature and literature on the continent whether Old Norse, Old Irish, Latin, Anglo-Norman, Old French etc).

I recognize and value Medievalism and my own entry into that field is to discuss and write about J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Charles Williams. Tolkien and Lewis were authors who worked in and were heavily influenced by medieval literature and thought, and Williams of course is well known for his work on Dante and Romantic Theology. I also have a keen interest in doing some work on the medievalism of G. K. Chesterton, but have not had the time to get there yet.

I currently am the editor in chief of the The Heroic Age, a journal devoted to study of Late Antiquity and Early Medieval Europe. I am also preparing an encyclopedia on Early Medieval Europe for a well-known publisher. We're only in the beginning stages of developing headwords and such.

In addition, I am the creator of the website E-Matthew, a site dedicated to the discussion of the Gospel of Matthew through history, its composition, its theology, and how it has been understood from the first century through the Reformation period. There is also an accompanying and quite email list linked off the site. Development is slow as projects mentioned below have taken most of my time the last few years.

I also moderate two listservs. One is the Ecclesiastical History list (EH) devoted to all things in Church History. The other is the TC or Textual Criticism list (TC) devoted to text critical discussions of biblical texts.

A copy of my somewhat outdatedCurriculum Vitae is here.

I blog. It is found here

In addition to articles in preparation, the thing that has been absorbing massive amounts of time has been Aelfric of Eynsham's Letter to Sigeweard: An Edition, Translation, and Commentary. This is in a final editing stage, well for this stage anyway, and I will provide a link to it here when ready for public viewing.
