Suggested Readings & Items of interest

"Abortion is as American as apple pie": The culture of death finds a voice
by Albert Mohler

Review of Niall Ferguson's Civilization: The West and the Rest
by Steven Pearlstein
"Instead of presenting himself as the well-read and widely traveled polymath he genuinely is, Ferguson comes off as an intellectual showoff who couldn’t be bothered to edit his own ideas."
 
The book of books
by Marilynne Robinson
"The Bible is the model for and subject of more art and thought than those of us who live within its influence, consciously or unconsciously, will ever know."
 
by Mary Beard
Are the classics in decline? Yes, or better said, 'twas ever thus. But this is because of what "the classics" really are: "the study of the classics is the study of what happens in the gap between antiquity and ourselves. It is not only the dialogue that we have with the culture of the classical world; it is also the dialogue that we have with those who have gone before us who were themselves in dialogue with the classical world".
 
by Andrew Marantz
An update on Dinesh D'Souza's term as president of New York City's only Evangelical college.
