Third Time Far From Heavenly for Detective Dee

Last updated on: July 31, 2018 at 3:19 pm By Coyle Neal

The third chapter of the Detective Dee series comes across as stale by comparison to its predecessors, even as it ups the supernatural ante with its Buddhist tale of gods, sorcery, mystical clans and dragons. Read more

In Russia, it’s cold and dark and then you die…

Last updated on: July 30, 2018 at 3:44 pm By Coyle Neal

Thanks to an undergraduate class taught by a Soviet emigre (or refugee, his accent was thick and I couldn’t always tell what he was saying), I have had extensive exposure to Soviet literature. I have been delighted to read We, Doctor Zhivago, The Foundation Pit, Master and Margarita, and many others as result. But the book which we didn’t have time to get to in the class, and which it has taken me more than a decade to get around to, is possibly the... Read more

Review of “Consider This” by Karen Glass

Last updated on: July 26, 2018 at 2:48 pm By Coyle Neal

In the Neal household, there are children who are approaching school age. While we are still undecided on the homeschooling vs. public school vs. private school options (and fortunately we don’t have to decide for a year or so—and some decisions are best made last-minute), we’ve been reading up on various and sundry aspects of education. Most recently that has included Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classic Tradition by Karen Glass. An important note: Charlotte Mason ≠ Charlotte Bronte. They are... Read more

Comedy, Class Consciousness Make for a Potent Combination in ‘Blindspotting’

Last updated on: July 18, 2018 at 7:18 pm By Coyle Neal

A high-wire act, Blindspotting puts race, gentrification and class under the microscope, somehow managing to make us laugh along the way. It slips at moments but never falls. Read more

Augustine on Scripture and the Church

Last updated on: July 4, 2018 at 12:06 pm By Coyle Neal

Augustine’s writings in reply to the Manichaeans are fairly uneven (at least so far, I’m not done with them yet). We get an interesting combination of solid apologetics/theology and odd allegorical speculation. As the editor points out in the introduction, these are not really the best place to start with Augustine. And yet, as Gerald Bray points out in his masterful Augustine on the Christian Life, despite his problems (including working from a sub-par Latin translation, as Jerome’s Vulgate had not...

The Method of Grace is Worth our Reflection

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Coyle Neal

Just how is grace applied to the individual? This is a question that we all have an interest in, but which we rarely spend enough time in reflection on. To help us with this failing, the Puritan minister John Flavel has written the excellent book Method of Grace. (You can find it for free as an eBook here; for Kindle here; and as a print book–well worth it, IMO–here.) I’ve already reflected on Flavel on assurance and on Union with Christ,... Read more
