Platypus of Truth

Hi all, this is just a note to let you know that I will be lecturing on C.S. Lewis' "Till We Have Faces," at BIOLA University on the evening of March 6th. The lecture should be in Sutherland at 8pm. All are welcome!

Still, I may attempt to restart that thread at a latter date. With N.T. Wright in the bag, the new theological work is Bishop Ryle's book on holiness. We're reading through it for faculty devotions. I've wanted to dig into Ryle for a while, so now I get my chance. I've also finished the first edition printing of The Book of Lost Tales I that my in-laws were nice enough to get me for Christmas (The picture above is J.R.R. Tolkien's painting of Taniquetil). I recommend it for lovers of The Silmarillion and those who have a keen interest in artistic composition. If you're in the mood for more of The Lord of the Rings it comes off as fragmented and frusterating (That was my impression when I first picked it up many ...

Woot! Woot!!
