Poetic Edda The end ofContinue reading “Resisting Pagan Eschatology”

“The Day of the Lord” and the “Lord’s Day”: Or, What Happens on Sundays?

“This is the day that the Lord has made, / I will rejoice and be glad in it.” These words of Psalm 118:24 often echoed through my rural church just after the hand-shaking time of fellowship just before the sermon, calling us all back into order from the lulliloo of brotherly love.

Fox Hunting

Reflections on Song of Solomon 2:15 There once were three little foxes. They were not as wise as their mother, but they looked cute and guileless, which has its own advantages.

The Ghosts of Modern Science: How Darwin and Huxley Redefined the World

This article first appeared in Salvo 61 Introduction It started with latent unbelief. Not with science or scientific evidence, but with a restrained spirit of revolt, hemmed in only by the bib and tucker of the Victorian Age.
