Paradise Lost by
John Milton is 350 years old, and J.G. Duesing has a reflection on the epic
work. I haven’t read it since college, but it’s good to consider the impact a
work of literature can have.
Tim Challies tells the story of a pastor in Edinburgh who
gave up a rather comfortable position for one that is something less
comfortable. Laura Dunn has produced a new documentary about writer Wendell
Berry, and talks about what it means. And the Gallup Poll learned something
surprising about why people go to church – or at least surprising to those who
don’t go to church, and perhaps to a lot who do. Christianity Today has the story.
Molly Page at Thin Difference considers the three words that
have almost disappeared from contemporary culture, and the things we say
instead. Ann Kroeker notes the vital importance of the comma.
And Danny MacAskill investigates the geography outside
Edinburgh. It starts out looking like a scene from Thomas the Tank Engine, but very quickly you realize you’re
somewhere else entirely. And a few outtakes at the end explain how something
like this is really filmed.
