Lk 222 35 Walking Into The Light
"Lk 2:22-35 "WALKING INTO THE LIGHT "(Click here for reading)" What is it that makes Christians unique? It is the way they love. Love is "giving" and "forgiving"; being proactive and reactive like Christ. "Whoever claims to abide in the Lord ought to walk just as he walked (1Jn 2:4). I have to walk the talk. It's not easy to say loving things. It's not any easier to do them. But the Lord demands that we keep his commandments. If not, then we are...

Mesopotamian Deities
The religion of the Bible is emphatically monotheistic. But no culture exists in isolation, and the ancient Hebrews and early Christians rubbed shoulders with other civilizations that were less frugal in their choice of deities. The New Testament, written in the early days of the Roman Empire, makes several references to well-known gods and goddesses of the then-thriving European pagan tradition -- such as Jupiter/Zeus, Mercury/Hermes and Diana/Artemis."In...

Right Reason
Due to a question presented in a comment, I am re-posting a two year-old essay.The question arose here on The Continuum as to what is meant by Right Reason, and how it has come to be placed alongside of Scripture and Tradition. Too often it has been assumed that these three, Scripture, Right Reason and Tradition have been placed as equal parts of an epistemological triad for discerning the truth, with the idea of a "three legged stool" that provides...

A Review Of Plain Kate By Erin Bow
The language of this book is so poetic than when I finally finished and read the author's bio, I was utterly unsurprised to learn that she is a published poet. But it's not just the language that reads like a poem. The story itself has a kind of poetic grace that harks back to the bards and ballads of medieval Europe, or maybe to the retelling of those tales, say, in Tennyson's poem, "The Lady of Shallot." If this tale is romanticized, however, it's...
Reflections On The Odes Of Solomon From Our Summer Solstice Ceremony
A painting of King Solomon who the odes are attributed to, but it is unclear who their real author is. Mark and I celebrated the summer solstice yesterday. As we both sat in a circle of trees in the light of the morning sun and did our ceremony, I read a selection of verses from a little known esoteric text called The Odes of Solomon. This text has defied interpretation, and yet that morning every word was filled with a meaning that resonated very...
