Very poorly copy-edited and, at least in the Kindle edition, formatted (blockquote style needed!). Also, the book reads like a series of blog posts. Now that's not so bad. The writing is skillful and engaging and moves at a good clip. I was primed to ...more |

"This past week I met up with a friend from undergrad for beers (appropriately, at a pub called St. Augustine's) and he surprised me by telling me he felt like he was "90% Catholic." I was taken aback by this revelation and gave him some book and arti"

| Kept me interested the entire time, largely because of Twain's luminous personality—but Chernow is also surely to be praised. The end of Twain's life is sad and tawdry, and I can only abominate Twain's sacrilegious opinions; but his wit is nothing if ...more | |

“The idea that the word of God should be permitted to calcify slowly into a language normal people can’t read is one of the reasons we had a Protestant Reformation, a movement launched by a monk whose first act a er defying a church council with, “My conscience is captive to the word of God” was to hole himself up in Wartburg castle and translate the Bible into German. There he sat; he could do no other.”

“because translation frequently demands minor trade-offs of nuance, it’s wise to make use of multiple translations.”

“So back to a question I raised in the introduction: What Bible translation will I give my own kids? And the answer is: I won’t give them a single translation. I’ll train them, Lord willing, to appreciate multiple translations. Instead of expressing suspicion toward translations from other tribes, I will express curiosity and interest and gratitude. I’ll teach my progeny that there’s a good reason for the little differences between Bible translations.”

“If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment.”

“We are not being true to the artist as a man if we consider his art work junk simply because we differ with his outlook on life. Christian schools, Christian parents, and Christian pastors often have turned off young people at just this point. Because the schools, the pastors, and the parents did not make a distinction between technical excellence and content, the whole of much great art has been rejected with scorn and ridicule. Instead, if the artist's technical excellence is high, he is to be praised for this, even if we differ with his world view. Man must be treated fairly as man.”

“Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion." "Ooh" said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion"..."Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”
