Thomas Howard: Separating Art and Media
The author of Evangelical Is Not Enough and Christ the Tiger had much to say on the subject of high culture and the “permanent things.” A new collection of his essays keeps his ideas alive at a time when everything seems terribly disposable. Read More… True art is a hard sell in an era in which media is predominant. Today, successful media is immediate, snappy, flashy, pervasive, and geared toward influencing the public to buy something and/or think a certain...
The Resurrections of Doctor Who: Why the Time Lord Has Endured for 60 Years
The beloved sci-fi TV show Doctor Who is entering its seventh decade. The secret to its success is surprising. Read More… The publicists at the BBC weren’t thrilled, one imagines, when their Doctor Who leading man spoke candidly about why he loved the program so much. “People always ask me, ‘What is it about the show that appeals so broadly?’” Peter Capaldi said in 2018. “The answer that I would like to give—and which I am discouraged from giving because...
The Satanic Virtues
Milton did not err in his depiction of the Devil in Paradise Lost, and modern times show it to be thus. Read More… I’ve been rereading Milton’s Paradise Lost. I am not alone in this; earlier this year, every time I checked Twitter, someone menting on Paradise Lost. There seemed to be a gravitational pull toward Milton’s epic. Many people, from Jaspreet Singh Boparai at The Critic to Ed Simon at LitHub, found menting on this very old poem—and not...
Is the New Right Just the Old Left?
A collection of essays by New Right thinkers has a lot to say about what is wrong with the “establishment Right” and America itself. But their solutions ironically reflect a neglect of constitutional order that got us in our current state to begin with. Read More… In his introduction essay to Up from Conservatism, a collection of essays by “New Right” authors, editor Arthur Milikh remarks that “the goal of this volume is to correct the trajectory of the Right...
Lovers of Truth: C.S. Lewis and Elizabeth Anscombe
The great Christian apologist, scholar, and novelist C.S. Lewis died 60 years ago today. Among his many memorable exchanges was one with philosopher G.E.M. be. The legacies of both would inform the faith and intellectual contributions of generations to follow. Read More… It was a night that would live in infamy. The great debater and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis was defeated by a woman—and a young Roman Catholic upstart philosopher at that. Except that’s not quite what happened. The indefatigable...
Hannah More: Pioneer of Voluntary Christian Schools
“Action is the life of virtue … and the world is the theatre of action.” Read More… Hannah More (1745–1833) was a most extraordinary woman. A poet and playwright mixing with the leading figures of her day in the theater and arts, she found evangelical faith and deployed her considerable writing skills in support of William Wilberforce’s campaign against the slave trade. These same talents were harnessed in advocacy of evangelical Christianity through a series of influential tracts and pamphlets....
God vs. Absurdity
There have been many attempts to prove the existence of God and disprove a sui generis universe in which sentient life is a mere accident of the Big Bang. A new book offers some fresh insights into why theism is a better explanation than naturalism for understanding reality, including the ability to do science. Read More… “In fact, the fundamental claim of this book is that if one believes the world actually is intelligible—that things make sense, and ultimate explanation...
Thank God for Virtue
To whom ought we to be thankful—and for what? Ask Abba Isaac. Read More… Each night, when it’s my turn to tuck in my littlest kids—Erin (5) and Callaghan (3) … and sometimes Aidan (6)—we say the same traditional prayers together: the “Our Father,” the “Axion Estin,” and the Creed. After the Creed, I ask them, “What are you thankful for tonight?” and “Who should we pray for tonight?” They’re always thankful for their mom. They’re usually thankful for each...
Reforming the Sword of Justice
A new book offers biblically based arguments for reforming the criminal justice system without succumbing to the Scylla of indifference or the Charybdis of “defund the police” utopianism. Read More… In Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, Matt Martens has written an indispensable guide for Christians engaging with questions of criminal justice reform. While Dagan and Teles’ Prison Break: Why Conservatives Turned Against Mass Incarceration had outlined the hopeful story of bipartisan, and even conservative, criminal justice reform in 2016,...
The Real Threat to Economic Freedom
A new book argues that some Big Players are working behind the scenes to make it increasingly impossible for us to own anything. Are things really that bad? And if so, do the offered solutions make sense? Read More… The tyrannical collusion between global and corporate elites and the U.S. government leaves us teetering on the edge of losing everything and owning nothing, according to Carol Roth in her new book, You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New...
