The central culture-shaping image of the Middle Ages was the Crucifix (dead Jesus) one of my hobbies is imagining a culture whose central image is Resurrection: Jesus victorious over corruption, death, oppression—Jesus defying death; Jesus promising Life. What would be different?

"To remember the resurrection, to hope for universal resurrection, is a 'political' act: for it is the ultimate refusal of all denials of community" - John Millbank

It's so silly that it's considered bad form to start a sentence with a conjunction.

Gow is "masterful... We completely understand how they fall in love. We fall in love too.  Gow demonstrates a myriad of emotions... We know exactly what he is feeling.  - Berkshire on Stage

Love it in theory. Tough thing is that you basically can't get a charge call without embellishing.

It reveals how little we Christians actually believe that Christ conquered sin and death on the cross when we treat our religion like a war that hasn’t been won rather than a work of compassion and treat the world as an enemy to be conquered rather than a neighbor to be loved.

I passed my proposal defense today! The PhD committee at Wheaton College approved my dissertation plan (with some revisions), and I can start researching this summer. So grateful to my advisor @esaumccaulley and my second reader @AubreyBuster. Congrats to @cgow10 who also passed.

It seems to me like we’ve underrated Dora the Explorer. A Latina woman working in the hard sciences, conserving the earth, *while deterring theft.* Trailblazer.

Chicago winter may be rough, but there’s no substitute for Spring that coincides with Easter. It genuinely feels like the earth is celebrating

The challenge of (and to) hope. It reminds me a bit of the Flannery O’Connor line (and @SteveTaylorTPF song) “It’s harder to believe than not to.” Grateful for these wise and challenging words from @esaumccaulley.
