Two fascinating-looking books I haven’t read. On whether the devil actually exists and whether there is purpose in the universe.
They Flew: A History of the Impossible, is must reading for Christians who want to be discerning in our world of advanced modernity.
Barbie is at the same time funny, creative, and thought-provoking. It asks significant questions about being human, who we are and why.
A new book argues for determinism, and a film reveals what such a worldview would produce if lived out faithfully.
Tara Isabella Burton identifies a myth that shapes our world. That our true humanity is in creating ourselves as we wish and finding ways to have everyone see us that way.
Doubt seems fragile and unbelief curiously robust in our world. It helps to remember we are living at the Interface.
A review of Cormac McCarthy’s two final novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris. Brilliant stories, brilliantly told about the deeply human quest for meaning.
Four excerpts from my reading: On Taylor Smith; on bridging progressive / conservative divides; on MAGA’s rage and joy; & on the interest in tarot among Nones.
James K. A. Smith explains why looking at my past with regret is a denial of God’s grace, who has taken my story into his Story in Christ.
In this highly recommended book, a Christian philosopher helps us understand how God intends us to live faithfully as his creatures in time.
