Academic Pursuits

Recently I blogged that a theological paper of mine was "rejected". Today I pored over the reviewers' notes more carefully. Actually, it was not truly rejected. They could see that I was aiming for "a new proposal rivalling other existing and well-argued approaches" to Christian ethics. However, my paper needed a lot of work -- "considerable revision". OBSERVATION: Usually I summon the will to do the "considerable revision", after absorbing the "rebuff". Much of my writing success has come through persistence. (I share my academic pursuits and labours here partly because this may be useful to others).
