Saturday Good Reads - Nov. 26, 2022


Tuesday was the 59th anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, and the 59th anniversary of the death overshadowed by Kennedy’s – that of C.S. Lewis. Poet Malcolm Guite wrote a sonnet in honor of Lewis. 

“Christian Nationalism” seems to have become a thing, especially for the news media, which has been sending reporters scurrying all over the country to uncover those pockets of what we’re supposed to dread. At Front Porch Republic, Matt Carpenter has a little fun with the term and uses it as something like clickbait. Like he says, who would click on a story headlined “Who is Stephen Leacock?

 

You read Steve Knapper’s story at Evangelical (another term of dread) Magazine, and you’re left more than a bit stunned. If you want to know what deep-seated faith in God is, then read “Trusting God Through Terminal Illness.”
