Magic, science, & religion

Charles Lane discusses the big dietary reversal on cholesterol, in the course of which he recounts a hilarious scene in Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper and cites anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski on the way people tend to confuse science with religion (they put their faith in it) and magic (it can do anything), making it really disorienting when science changes.

The faith of an ISIS captive

Kayla Mueller was a 26-year-old American who worked to help Syrian refugees. She was captured by ISIS, held hostage for 18 months, and then killed. (ISIS claimed she was the victim of an allied airstrike, but military officials deny that this was possible.) At any rate, Kayla was a Christian. Now letters have been released that testify to her faith, even as an ISIS prisoner. (more…) Read more

Harper Lee’s not-so-new novel

Last updated on: February 18, 2015 at 6:56 pm By Gene Veith

Quite a few novelists–Joseph Heller, J. D. Salinger, Ralph Ellison–have written one great novel, but then wrote nothing else, or nothing else in its league. One of those writers is Harper Lee, whose To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960, makes the bestseller lists to this day. So readers have been excited to hear that she is coming out with another novel, Go Set a Watchman, which won’t even be released until July 14 but is already an Amazon bestseller.... Read more

Lenten reading

Last updated on: February 17, 2015 at 12:03 pm By Gene Veith

One of my customary Lenten observances is always to read some heavy-duty theology or some deep, deep classics of devotion. Over the years, I’ve read works by Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and more modern theologians like Oswald Bayer. Last year I read Martin Chemnitz, The Two Natures of Christ to my great benefit.
