Joseph Epstein’s Friendship: An Expose tackles a politically incorrect subject: the difference in friendship between men and women. So, let’s see what we really do think. I’ll give you some quotations from Epstein and you ponder them to see if you think they are true in your world.

I was thoroughly impressed with Christopher Bryan’s Render to Caesar study of how the Bible understands power and empire. In this post, I want to draw together his major points, and I think you will see that much of the rhetoric today about “empire” and “colonialism” cannot be anchored as easily as some think in…

Question #5: “Who is to condemn?” That’s a good question. Who might Paul have in mind?

Kris is the gardener in the family: she thinks about flowers and plants and trees; she waters them regularly so they don’t croak. I’m called in for two things: I mow and I do the heavy stuff. This Spring we had some landscaping done, including a short brick walkway to our new garage. Along that…

Christopher Bryan is, if his prose any indicator, both a scholar’s curmudgeon — much on the order of Morna Hooker — and a happy person. He’s a scholar’s curmudgeon because he doesn’t buy trendy scholarship just because everyone likes it, and he writes with a clever lilt — the kind that makes you occasionally smile.…
