It’s Tuesday ! The sun rose, and here we are. And here these blog posts are:

Peter Leithart discusses maverick Bible scholars and the slipping of Solomon .

Stephen H. Webb thinks pacifism is silly .

Today is also the feast day of St. Theresa of Avila. You should probably go read some of her work . In honor of St. Theresa, I also suggest reading Middlemarch , which opens with the following words: “Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa . . . ?”
