Donald Kagan RIP

By

I have no personal connection to Yale or Donald Kagan, but I enjoyed listening to some of his lectures on Ancient Greece that are free online, as I previously noted in my first blog post, and I approvingly cited his take on Niall Ferguson’s book Civilization: The West and the Rest, here. 

He was a stout defender of the West in academia, and I’m sure he will be missed. He passed away Aug 6, the age of 89. 

Hat tip Tyler Cowen.

Leo Strauss's infamous "esoteric" reading of John Locke

Leo Strauss It is no secret that I am a fan of John Locke. I stole this blog’s name from the title of one of his books, after all. I am very impressed and inspired by his unique and refreshing combination of clear-headed reason and reliance on faith and scripture. I have to say I was a little dismayed and surprised when I saw that many or most political commentators today see John Locke as an atheist / deist / secularist, following the “Straussian” reading of Locke. This so strongly contradicted everything that I saw in my reading of Locke that it was quite baffling, and I felt a need to figure out what was going on. The Reasonableness of Christianity was the first of John Locke’s works that I came across (see my thoughts here ), as my interests (outside of my day job) are essentially Christian and religious. I found in Locke a scholar who taught that Christian revelation is not just reasonable, but that Christian religion is the best and only foundation for true reason. Locke wrote th

The response to my concerns about the "How to talk to a Mormon" video

TL;DR: Synopsis and takeaways from an email conversation with the Christian apologists who created a YouTube video spreading salacious and disturbing misinformation about my religious beliefs. This is my 4th and final post on what I have called "unhinged Category 2 rhetoric" against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This rhetoric consists of absurd and salacious false ("unhinged") claims about The Church and its members intended for a mainstream Christian audience (See Part 1 ). The goal seems to be to inculcate in mainstream Christians an instinctual aversion to The Church, in order to counter the missionary efforts of The Church which are seen as a problem for mainstream Christianity. Unfortunately, these attacks lead not only to an instinctual aversion to the The Church, but also to its human members. The result can be (and has been for my family) deeply un-Christian behavior toward us (see Part 3 for the story) from mainstream Christians steeped

"The" Question for LDS Theists about Evil

By

  TL;DR - Rather than answering the question “Why did God create Evil?”, Latter Day Saints need to answer the question “Does God have power to vanquish Evil?”. Scholar James McLachlan argues that the solution for the Latter Day Saint is that Evil, and all that associate with it, will shrivel away and dissipate in face of the loving goodness of the Kingdom of God which will eventually fill the earth. McLachlan places emphasis on the importance of community within LDS theology, and how obedience to eternal principles will lead people to join together. This raises a concern to me that too much emphasis is placed on human agency and individual power, which diminishes God’s role in the world which He has created. "St. Michael Vanquishing Satan" by Raphael Why am I starting this off with an epic picture of St. Michel spearing Satan? You'll have to wait and see! I want to base this post off of some comments made in response to my last post. Thank you to Stephen Lyndsay for these
