I have always been fascinated with time. Time is a great mystery that physicists, philosophers and theologians don’t understand. I have often pondered the theological implications of time and hope one day to write a book. The more I wrestle with time, the more mysterious it becomes. The one watch…

RR Reno has a thought provoking essay here on the impact of liberalism on politics, society and theology. He wisely concludes that liberalism is not enough. “One need not proclaim that liberalism has failed in order to be ranged among the postliberals. It is enough to say that liberalism is…

Given the state of public education, I suspect many young people have no idea who the Marquis de Sade is. (The word “sadism” derives from his name.) He was the first person in modern times to write openly about abortion and affirm it. As Davidson notes in Pagan America, Sade’s…
