This week marked the 500th anniversary of
Martin Luther’s stand against indulgences, which led to the Protestant
Reformation. Al Mohler has a 21st century version of what this means
for Christians today. Thomas Kidd takes on those who would blame the
Reformation for secularism. Hugh Whelchel explains why dishwashing matters in
God’s kingdom (an understanding that is a direct result of the Reformation).
Halloween also happened this week (same day as Reformation
Day), and Spitalfields Life looked at the fear of reptilian creatures and
provided a brief history of crypts (just like the one we ate at in St.
Martin’s-in-the-Fields several times during our recent visit to London).
This year is the 100th anniversary of the
Russian Revolution, and no one had a clearer view of the destruction it wrought
that Aleksandsr Solzhenitsyn. Gary Saul Morson at The New Criterion has an appreciation of what Solzhenitsyn
accomplished with his three books of The
Red Wheel.
Ryan Hess at The
Imaginative Conservative explores T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land in the
context of neurosis. Paul Mariani and Peggy Rosenthal remember poet Richard Wilbur at Image
Journal. And while it’s from May, Michael Goodwin’s adapted speech on the
demise of journalistic standards is still just as current as it was four months
ago.
