Me in a gentler sort of mood...

Taken not too long ago. And now my hair is growing long again. I'm told I need to upload a picture this way so I can also post it in my profile. In any case, I rather like this pic because it does show me in a gentler mood!!!

Rizal and the Emergence of the Filipino Nation

This will be my second semester of teaching the Rizal course to Ateneo students. Last semester was a bit difficult. it was first time to teach it. I need to evaluate the whole experience and redesign my syllabus for the course. I rather liked some of the papers submitted to me. Still, I know I need to tighten the syllabus a bit, considering that the semester is rather very short.

Again, watch this post.

Theo 273 Modern Church History

I will be posting very soon the syllabus for this course on Church History. It is going to be a very short semester. I am therefore resigned to not being able to cover even half of what is usually covered. I am therefore inclined to pick and choose the topics I would most probably be dealing with. I am thinking of short-circuiting the cluster of topics associated with the Catholic Reform, Protestant Reformation, and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. I would like to touch on Vatican I, the Modernist Crisis, and la nouvelle theologie...
