Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Summer Reading

The "triumvirate" of books for summer reading has arrived! Doctoral studies start in the Fall with the focus of my work in the book on the far left, Hays translation of Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations." The middle book is part of critical analysis and the book on the right is for contextual analysis. Precedent research starts officially in August and my bibliography is already filling up!
