I can attest to the unique value of literature in assisting one’s ability to make sense of the world around them. I read entirely nonfiction throughout college and into my the first part of my career (philosophy, science, theology, comput

I wasn’t particularly fond of Saget, but I know that Norm Macdonald (a man I did deeply respect) held him in the highest regard and thus I have this sort of laundered respect for him. Isn’t it curious when you don’t look up to a man “direct

I’ve pondered this on occasion. In this era of people in their 80s holding many of the major positions in government and business in the US, I wonder whether this was their final attempt to prevent transferring power onto the newer generati

I am a practicing Catholic. I have four kids all under 7. My normal day consists of feeding them, bathing them, calming tantrums, losing my temper, getting bitter at my lack of time for hobbies, and growing resentful of my lack of time for

One of the most interesting podcasts I've listened to this year discussed the roots of meaning, significance, and religious experience in our current culture. Where does meaning come from? How do our brains create meaning? Or is meanin

While a large portion of the audience may be white, American, and evangelical, the cast of the show is entirely brown skinned. You should give it a watch. Here’s the first two episodes on YouTube (starts at 13:00) https://youtu.b

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve read NT Wright and Bauckham and others on this topic, but I haven’t heard of Pennington. Will check it out! Wright in particular has really helped me to see each gospel in its own narrative form. I agree

I concur. As a believing Christian, if somebody comes along and says “hey do you want to watch this Jesus show/movie?” my honest answer is…not really! I went into the Chosen expecting it to be awful and have been very impressed by the

Fr Knox also belongs to the rare category of people to translate the entire Bible. It is always interesting to see what a single mind/voice can produce in that regard. He also wrote a small companion piece for that effort, with the lov

I am likewise having a helluva time trying to gauge just what this announcement means. Given IBM’s recent record + the CEO’s use of the word “implies”, color me suspicious.

“otherwise-impenetrable” is a great way of characterizing McCarthy and Melville. Often I am left mystified at what I just read, but have sensed something of great weight and gravity…I suppose that’s life, eh?
