Athena: Cinematic Apocalyptica and Visions of Civil War

Apocalyptic fiction will tend to promote either conformity or radicality, depending on whether the source of impending destruction is identified with the powers-that-be or some rebel force.

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

Sin is a perennial reality that we cannot eradicate through political will. Instead, we are called to heal the world. One of the best dramatic considerations of this is Shakespeare’s hilarious, beautiful, and criminally overlooked play, Measure for Measure.

In Praise of COVID Restrictions

If one picked up this book expecting a genuine defence of COVID restrictions, one would soon be disabused of that notion. It is both hilarious and deadly serious, obliging the reader to remember all the traumas that befell us.

A Man Worth Knowing

In this biography, Christopher J. Farrell describes an extinct species—a muscular liberal and hardcore anti-Communist. It is interesting to read about a man like Earle in an era where, according to progressives, there are mere inches between calling for tax cuts and becoming Hitler.

The 9th Art: Should Adults Read Comics?

Are comics, as some Francophones argue, a distinct ‘9th art’? In the first of a monthly series, Felix James Miller argues they are and introduces readers to some of the delights of the art form.

FORGOTTEN CLASSICS:
Dante’s Youthful Passion and the Love of God

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. Thankfully, though, Dante’s ‘immature’ juvenilia is far greater and more penetrating a work than most poets can ever compose in the entire course of their lives.

Where’s the Rage? Cherubini’s Medea Strikes Out on the Metropolitan Opera’s Opening Night

An apt but uncharitable description of Medea’s incongruities might paraphrase Woody Allen’s description of a monster as a being with the body of a crab and the head of a social worker to say that Cherubini’s work sounds like a Mozart opera with a Beethoven overture.

All Views Are Welcome—Provided They Are Ours

Social justice activism is a religion in that it provides a set of beliefs. These beliefs are to be accepted unquestioningly, and a common language develops between the people involved by which they may identify one another and interrogate and expel heretics.

Falsehoods, Persecution, and Forgiveness

Pell’s Prison Journal provides an inspiring example of how to endure attacks while loving our persecutors. Perhaps his serene approach can show our post-Christian civilization the beauty of Christian love and forgiveness.

Literature that Defied the Nazi Regime

Scholdt pays tribute to both the aesthetic achievements and the courage of writers who were persecuted and ostracized during the Nazi era. He also considers the significance of their resistance in the Nazi years for our own tumultuous times.

More Kicks to Arthur Bryant’s Corpse

Through scarcely credible naïveté, Robinson seems to believe that he has disposed of Bryant’s ethical pretensions. His hubris calls to mind those self-destructive British Labour parliamentarians who elicited the jibe that, when granted a choice of weapons, they always selected boomerangs.

Nothing seems wrong with a discerning use of Netflix. But the company’s final goals, Chanot wishes to remind us, are anything but harmless and are bound to destroy the virtues we care to preserve within our families.

Remaking the West from the Broken Pieces of WWI

The film does a manful job depicting conditions from which few people escape alive, and no soul remains unscarred.

Faith for Doubters

Brinkmann’s book is a respectful, thoughtful tome seeking to question faith honestly. He freely admits that he is simultaneously sceptical on issues of faith and belief and deeply fascinated by religion.

Sir Gawain and the Christmas Night

Sir Gawain is a dramatic tale of a knight’s bravery and chastity in the face of temptation and, crucially, the distinctive experience of grace and forgiveness that Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection has made possible.

When the Law Defines What It Means to Be Human

Today, it is all too common to prize self-sufficiency as a virtue—a virtue by nature inaccessible to the sick and to the disabled, to pregnant women and to the elderly, and to children of any age.
