Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

I don’t even know what “mimesis” is, but since you seem to love it, how could you possibly have missed this? I think it may be linked to humans singing in the bathtub. Or maybe he is saying, “please release me, let me go…..” by Engelbert Humperbackedwhale.
I know! I didn’t miss it… I’m just pondering it!!!!
