About Me

My photo
Matthew E. Gordley
Welcome to my (occasional) blog! I am particularly proud of the creative title I chose for it back in 2013. For the most part I use this space to reflect on the intersection of my research as a biblical scholar and my work as an academic leader in higher education. Though I may reference others in this blog, the views I express are my own and certainly do not represent any of the organizations I am professionally associated with. I hope you enjoy reading it and I welcome your thoughts and reactions. Thank you for reading.
