Reviews
Off
with On War: Bishop Pierre Whalon takes a close
look at Achever Clausewitz (Finishing
Clausewitz), a new and important study by René Girard.
'A powerful re-thinking of the Bible’s
apocalyptic literature developing from an insightful analysis of Carl von
Clausewitz’s unfinished classic On War (Vom Friege),
studied in every military officer school in the world. At present it exists
only in its original French, but a translation should be forthcoming soon.
It deserves a wide readership'. Read the complete review here.

Worth
Noting
Antidisestablishmentarianism, 2009: Michael Portillo writes for the Telegraph (London). 'But the British state ought to think long and hard before letting go of the church. Keeping religion out of politics remains essential. The need for institutionalised moderation is growing, not diminishing.'
Preserving Words and Worlds: 'For many, the idea of ancient manuscripts evoke a vision of mystery and intrigue — of dark catacombs and scriptoriums hidden in monasteries from another time. But, this is not just a tradition of the past. St. John's Abbey in central Minnesota continues this Benedictine legacy of preservation and recording — with a modern, technological touch.' From the Speaking of Faith radio programme, by Krista Tippett. |
