Great quote by Burja, who I look forward to reading more from after your recommendation. It is somewhat predictable and short-sighted of us to think that the writings and work of the ancients which remain are inherently "the best".

What illuminating texts or ideas were obliterated at Pompeii?

How many books or paintings have been lost to time throughout all history for the crimes of being heretic, sacreligious, or simply offensive to a few. Perhaps cancel culture is simply a recurring theme of civilization.

Was Galileo "cancelled"?

What do you think?

Oh I also forgot to say that for Lord of Spirits they usually have a transcript that you can read i find that a lot easier and faster than listening. They do have some really good content.

I can't tell you how glad I am to read this and that you are writing again. This essay was very helpful. ~ Elizabeth Roosje https://eroosje.blogspot.com/ PS: pretty sure that I met James K. A. Smith during my undergrad. Also familar with Charles Taylor. Do you know the writer / professor (Dr) Jens Zimmerman? he's doing some things with a patristic turn within the Protestant tradition that I think are worth knowing about (I know him personally from when I was in undergrad).
