About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a professor at Ewha Womans University, where I teach composition, research writing, and cultural issues, including the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I also work as one-half of a translating team with my wife, and our most significant translation is Yi Kwang-su's novel The Soil, which was funded by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Yes! Mostly religious leaders doing good loud mouth in blah blah blah preacher in verbal, but application for his everyday life is contradict, do as I say,not as I do say, another words there is no perfect human breeds. And there's no short cut in the Bible, only God knows our way,and his mercy and grace, maybe straight gait and our individual manner of discipline and good character. But the problem not easy to pleasing with the spirit from Christ and God Almighty of the universe. Well,only YHWH God Almighty know everything... *Bones*
I prefer Arminius to Calvin, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to enter the debate.

Mystification is revealed in the eye of the beholder, or is that rather "the eye of the beholdee"?
I take the Fifth.
