(Note — I’m going to try to revive my regular “Through the Looking Glass” posts. In the past, I had used these to highlight stuff I noticed around the blogsphere. I’m going to try to broaden it to include books, film, music, or anything else I’m finding helpful or interesting at a given moment. I hope readers find it useful — and if not, oh well, it’ll be more of me talking to the wind.)
Through the Looking Glass today:
Received Vol. 1 of The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law, Politics & Human Nature. I’d been looking for a good reference on Christian views about law and jurisprudence, and this looks as though it may fit the bill. Includes broad discussions of jurisprudence in the Roman Catholic, Protestant (including Reformed, Anabaptist, and others) and Eastern Orthodox traditions. Very thick and substantial. Also very expensive, but I got mine from midtownscholar.com, a used Amazon vendor, for a good price. I’m becoming an online used bookstore junkie.
Received August/September 2006 issue of First Things. Good correspondence on Alan Jacobs’ article in the prior issue about Wheaton College’s decision to terminate the employment of a philosophy professor who converted to Roman Catholicism.
Good Post by Jeff about what it meanst to be “in Christ.”
