On July 1, 2018 I retired from full time work at Urshan Graduate School of Theology. My stated goal was to finish my commentary on the Book of Psalms.

My first work on Psalms, titled The Messiah in the Psalms: Discovering Christ in Unexpected Places, was released in 2007. It covered Psalms 1-72 and was 382 pages long.

About 30 minutes ago, I finished reading the edited manuscript for my second volume on Psalms. It covers Psalms 73-106 and runs to 237 pages.

Since it will be July 1, 2025 in a couple of days, this means it has taken me 2,555 days to write this second volume, averaging about 1 page every 11 days.

Of course I’ve done a few other things since retirement, like writing a book titled The Holy Spirit, which discusses nearly every reference to the Holy Spirit from Genesis to Revelation.

And just in case you’re wondering, I have begun work on the third and last volume on the Book of Psalms!
