Sacred Treasure
- Glen Scrivener on No to Trans, Yes to Gay Marriage: New Normal?
- This has done the rounds since Brad East wrote it in 2018, but it’s spot on: An honest preface to contemporary academic biblical scholarship.
- Alan Jacobs is powerful on Diseases of the Intellect, relevant as the Middle East tumbles deeper into chaos
- Philip Jenkins on Psalm 91’s influence on the horror fiction
- My boss Paul Windsor has moved his blog and has reviewed two books that I’ve recently read and greatly profited from as well – he does a great job on both of them: on Collin Hansen’s intellectual biography of Tim Keller; and Mekdes Hadis’s punchy and challenging book A Just Mission
- Steve Bateman helpfully articulates Common fallacies in an Age of Outrage
- Catherine of Cleeves’ 1440 Book of Hours has some remarkable images (incl one of Jesus in a baby-walker)
Topical Treasure
- Former war correspondent Aris Roussinos on the genius of the documentary series The World at War (first aired 50 years ago)
- How to avoid the fog of war? One way is to keep an eye on FullFact as with this supposedly Gazan story or this showing there are 3 NOT 30 UK constituencies with a muslim majority (vs Channel 4)
- Some modern architectural wonder homes
Quirky Treasure
- The Lincolnshire village honoured in every Disney film since 2006
- English pronunciation is a mystery, a minefield, a nightmare. And that’s just for the native speakers. This poem by J H Walton makes the point perfectly.
- There are Mums Way Worse than you!
- I had no idea all these movies had the same studio behind them – some extraordinary ones here, from A24.
