Forgotten Classics: Shakespeare’s Best Play (About Sex and Law and Grace)

Felix James Miller January 28, 2023

Felix James Miller December 31, 2022

Dante’s La Vita Nuova is indisputably the work of a young man, a man whose passions (and poetic compositions) are still discovering the place they ought to have in the world.

FORGOTTEN CLASSICS:
Christianity, Outer Space, and Love

Felix James Miller May 28, 2022

Whereas much science fiction simply sidesteps the theological questions a Christian would raise on discovering rational life on other planets, C.S. Lewis asks us to wrestle with them.
