18 Pages

So I finished the weekend with my second chapter draft at 18 pages!!! That means I got in four plus pages yesterday. Actually I did five--with scraping one of the the previous pages I reworked. I am still in the place of diving into the depths of a theology of male-female friendship that provocatively delves into the long-standing hierarchial typology of love in the Christian church (read mostly male dominated views of love) and accompained with gendered views of passion, love, and friendship. I think the Jesus and Mary Magdalene friendship (no, I don't think they were married--but I do think they had a relationship that would make most evangelicals queasy) gives us much to think about when it comes to male-female friendship in the new creation.

That means of course, in a period of 3 weeks, I have written 48 pages.
