Noctes Kansienses: Video Games Are Not Art
http://nocteskansienses.blogspot.com/2010/07/video-games-are-not-art.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Video Games Are Not Art. Roger Ebert has a fine piece. However, I will remind you that the Iliad and Aeneid do not teach military leadership. Plato clearly tells us this in The Republic. And though he may be wrong saying that poetry is useless, he is correct in saying that it does not teach actually teach practical skills. Did the proletariate of Moscow not enjoy operas and ballets and theatre in the 1930s? July 7, 2010 at 8:34 PM. Not only am I asking this question overall, but ...

Noctes Kansienses: December 2009
http://nocteskansienses.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. A Sermon for the Season. Song of Songs 8:1-2, 6-7. How we long to be able to give him our love! How we long to know surely that he loves us! What compassion could he have for people who go through commutes and reports and e-mails, who take the kids to piano lessons and then sit down for a basketball game at night, when he holds the galaxies in his right hand and all infinity in his left? What place could there be in that lofty heart for the love of us? Or, like this:. O that ...

Noctes Kansienses: January 2010
http://nocteskansienses.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 9, 2010. It was my intention over the break to turn the energies of my reading and writing to secular matters, having been so totally occupied at seminary with Biblical and Theological exercises. The reading, for what it was, proved pleasurable, but the writing bore nothing full-formed for all its travail. I present you, therefore, gentle reader, some quotations from my holiday studies, with occasional commentary. Karl Marx, "Wage Labour and Capital". We must not take their word for it&...

Noctes Kansienses: November 2009
http://nocteskansienses.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. 1 Scripture is Scripture because it testifies to to the God who is in Jesus Christ. In this way the Old and New Testaments are the same. 3 Yet the New Testament is generally considered normative for how we are to understand the Old Testament. It would then appear that the New Testament has priority, since we cannot grasp the meaning of the Old Testament without it. 6 Yet precisely because the Old Testament is more intimate with Jesus it is less able to show us what that intimac...

Noctes Kansienses: April 2010
http://nocteskansienses.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. The Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit. This is a sermon written for my New Testament intro course. The Text: Matthew 12:22-32. So from this Teacher of mercy we hear that of all sin and blasphemy only blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And what, then, is this ‘blasphemy’? Now what does blasphemy appear to be if we are led by the way it is used in our popular culture and our everyday language? It seems to have something to do with holding opinions, doesn’t it? Blasph...

Friday, July 31, 2009. I hope soon to take up posting with some regularity.
