Good morning. Continued sunny and 60 here where I am in Atlanta, right around freezing and snow flurries at home in Chicago.
- Not Elbe (made famous by that once exile), which was an initial misreading of mine, but an ancient Syrian city Ebla … noted.
- Literature backing McCain (follow the link).
- Trends.
- The surprising efficacy of ancient Coptic medicine … I wonder what their theory of evolution was? Or their method of inquiry? Whatever … it seemed to have worked.
- Patristic advice on fasting for those doin the Lent thang.
- Heat generated by the Romney
pullout, err, suspension. - A silly song.
- A list of one’s Favorite Christian sects.
- The bible in Orthodoxy, a history lesson.
- The frustration of a teacher noted.
- A theologians library suggested.
- Kos. Anti-American?
- Happy new year! And a fine label for the election season.
- I’d hold out for a “real” euphonium-hero. But the idea is a good one I think.
- I thought “it” was all about prayer … not grace or carbon offsets.
- Two views on Rowan Williams latest remarks, one ‘gainst and one mostly against. Most of the other essays I’ve read about this warn about the danger of different laws for different people in the same land. To which, I ask a question: “Would you object to a law in which the death penalty could only be given if the convicted defendant professed to have faith in an afterlife?”
- A suggestion that I’ve never heard, Adam might have been present when Eve was tempted.
- CEO pay scales as a carrot for the rest of us.
- de-Nazification deplored.
- Problems with the term progressive.
- Trash and the soul.
- In a word, … No!
- And to end … a quote from way back, exegesis via Athanasius.
Mark, Thanks for the link. I know that I’m bucking a great deal of tradition in claiming Adam may have been present, but I’m simply pointing out that the text doesn’t explicitly say he was absent. It would be an interesting one to argue, though it would mostly be an argument from inference–at least from the text in Genesis 2. Henry
Thanks for linkiness! May you have a blessed Lent.
