Professor of history, expert on the Mahdi, explicator of rare eschatologies….

Forgive me for ripping off Army Intelligence Major Eaton’s capsule description of Dr. Henry Jones Jr., aka “Indiana,” from Raiders of the Lost Ark. It allows me a relevant introduction to the archive of my 164 articles over at The Stream from 2019-2025. That outlet has now gone to all podcasts, but the folks there were kind enough to keep our writings accessible. And while mostly I wrote on Islam, often its eschatology, I also delved into (geo)politics, UFOs/UAPs, Shakespeare, and of course Tolkien.

Currently I’m writing for a division of Emerald Robinson’s Substack (@emeralddb3), called “Christian Nation.” The editor thereof of is the inestimable Dr. John Zmirak, he of many writing and commenting coats. Check it out!

And I’m still plugging along on my military history of Middle-earth book. The last 18 months have been hellish (6 surgeries, plus other personal matters). It will get done, Eru willing!

Me in a pose emulating one of my cinematic heroes!
