Today’s “On the Square” offers two articles, both giving insight into our own day through the stories of people who lived what might be called counter-Christian lives.
In the first, David Hart reflects on Julian Our Contemporary , a man who, though “so fruitless an anomaly in the narrative of Western history,” has fascinated Christians since. We are much more like Julian the Apostate than we realize, he notes.
In the second, Middle Men : Not Starring Steve Jobs , Mary Rose Somarriba examines the effects of pornography through a new movie about the men who made the industry a success: not the pornographers themselves, but the men who developed and ran the on-line credit companies that let men buy the stuff anonymously. She includes the insights of the man whose story the movie tells, and they’re not pretty.
