Re: Looking Back at the December Issue

I don’t know, Nathaniel. I especially enjoyed some of the quirkier pieces in the December issue, now available online to non-subscribers. How about Fernando Gouvêa’s “Faith by the Numbers” review, in which we glimpse how Victorian mathematics and faith intertwined? Fascinating, but hardly your standard dinner-time conversation!

Math can be beautiful, but those who prefer less abstract beauty (and have had their fill of modern art exhibits) will appreciate Matthew Milliner’s “Art of Transgression.” Beginning with a sometime shocking, often humorous, litany of current artistic woes, Milliner concludes by saying that “artists of faith are perhaps the only ones who can still enjoy the thrill of transgression—violating by their existence one of the art world’s last nonnegotiable ordinances.” But don’t take my word on it. Read these articles for yourself. Better yet, read the whole issue.
