A new year, a new set of promises that may or may not be delivered.

The past year I have been working on a few articles and other things that I would like complete, but finishing my masters degree and starting a new job has proven to make a man busier than he would foresee. That being said, I wanted to update anyone who might be listening in from the formless and void waters of email inboxes of the internet, constantly bombarded with asteroids of ads and scams.

First, I am starting my PhD in the fall. So I will remain busy. But on the bright side, my studies will be a lot more focused and I think it will serve me well to write about things I am researching. So I will probably write more… probably.

That brings me to my second order of business. I will no longer be posting here. Coffee Table Theology has been a fun project, and I harbor a deep appreciation for all the support I received in starting it. The feedback on articles and my writing had shown me that writing more is something that I wanted to peruse, and the encouragement has helped me through my Masters degree and spurred me into a PhD. So where am I posting now?

No, not really. I’m going where all the cool kids, or pretentious people, or the wannabe cool and pretentious people go. Substack. You can find me at JordanRCrane.substack.com. I have no posts there yet at the time I’m writing this, but I will be moving posts from here to there over the summer and I hope to have a few new articles too. The reasons for the move are many and boring, so I wont make you read them. For most of you subscribed by email, I will migrate you over to Substack. Dont worry, you wont be bombarded with emails still because this site will no longer be active. Its not another subscription to your inbox, it is just where these emails are moving to. So be on the lookout for an email from my Substack soon.

Lastly, I’m getting married to my beautiful, sweet, and loving fiancé later this year, so that will likely, and rightfully, slow posts down.

Though I am starting a PhD in Systematic Theology, I sill love Church History and it remains my favorite subject to dive into at any time, so I leave Coffee Table Theology with the remarks I began it with:

It is important to study the history of the church and use it in our teaching because it enables us to learn from the successes and failures of those who have gone before us, helping us to properly apply and interpret the Scriptures while also aiding in navigating the challenges of our own time with humility, wisdom, and faithfulness to the Lord.
