Last week, Daniel Alexander Payne: The Venerable Preceptor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was released in the paperback edition. I certainly hope that readers get a glimpse of this remarkable African American clergyman of the 19th century.
It is amazing how scholarly work is now disseminated to the public. With the release of the book in e-text before the hardcopy, I know that the publishing industry is forever changed. One can get it from the publisher, University Press of America, Amazon, Kindle, Nook, eBooks, etc. It is truly amazing. With the availablility of varioius sources these days, I wonder if people are reading more? I certainly hope that is the case.

Retirement
As the new academic year begins I find that I am in a major transition. I announced my retirement two weeks ago. I will finish my years as a professor at Gettysburg Seminary on January 31, 2013 after 25 and a half years. As I wrote in my letter to President Michael Cooper-White, these years have been a pastoral and theological adventure. I'll continue to reflect on this period in my life in subsequent postings.
I should also add that during this last semester at Gettysburg, my book Daniel Alexander Payne: The Venerable Preceptor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church published by University Press of America, is now available in electronic format on Kindle, Nook, etc. and will be available in paperback next week. I certainly hope it can help spread the word about this remarkable 19th century African American.
