Please pray for the four police officers shot and killed in a coffee shop in a suburb of my city. We are all devastated as this seems to be the peak in a string of violence we have seen recently. My heart goes out to their families...

I would recommend Orthodox theologian's David Bentley Hart's The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth. Considered to be his magnus opus, this book takes on not the modern secular philosophy of the contemporary age, but rather the intellectual giants whose thought created and...

You should try Athiest Delusions: The Christian Revolution and its Fashionable Enemies, published by Yale University Press by (a Orthodox theologian no less!) David Bentley Hart. It takes on the Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, etc. and also gives a very enlightening and fresh look at Christian History.

No, generally the triumvirate of Potters, Monarch, and Three Star would stand as the most horrible Vodka ever. But when it comes to gift giving, the standard starts at Grey Goose and goes up from there, so no, Popov would not do...

Greetings! I am currently starting a project in my Linguistics class and I wanted to choose Old Church Slavonic as the language for that project. However, my professor believes that Old Slavonic would be interesting, but he doubts that there is a grammar that includes a systematic analysis of...

I will second this. Many people are caught up in the sci-fi theme of the movie, and fail to see the obvious Christian themes. I enjoyed both the American and Soviet Solaris, both for different reasons. I must admit however that the Soviet is superior.

Why spell it differently then how it is commonly known? Czar and Tsar work just like the should, why the letter drop?

Shall Theophilos be posting another riddle anytime soon?  :)  This was actually constructive for me, as I think now I have the Gospel of Luke down by memory!

Violence by Slavoj Zizek How to Read Lacan by Slavoj Zizek Lacan for Beginners by Various I tend on a monthly basis to find some thinker to read and then abandon for the next one. I am slowly dumping Zizek for Lacan, and then I think it shall be either David Bentley Hart (again) or someone else...

Merci beaucoup! Apologies, I was confused on what "bound by Satan" meant. I thought she was unclean in a possessed sort of way, not bent by sin. Now that I look at it again, I would agree that bent is the appropriate term. I also would like to confirm the theme I was thinking that is...

Zaccheus the tax collector (19:2-10) and the unclean woman (13:16) as a Son and Daughter of Abraham?

Is it the parables of the man who took a mustard seed and planted it in his garden (Luke 13:19) with the women who took leaven and hid in three measures of meal (Luke 13:21). But neither of these persons on already on the list. But I found a paralell between the woman with the leaven within the...

I thought I almost with Anna being called a prophetess, but this is not mentioned by Christ, nor is she paired with anyone in two utterances. I'll keep on trying! ;D

Another guess would be the raising of the son of the widow and Jarieus's (sp?) daughter, so the pair would be son and daughter. I don't what else it could be considering the last hint...There is a queen of the South and a King but the theme does not match, so it cannot be them...

The sower (male) and the grinder (female)?
