The Peace of Jerusalem

December 24, 2017 Leave a Comment

Jerusalem

President Trump has publicly declared his intent to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The reaction has been varied. It has inspired excitement by many Jews and Christians.

The Divine Coup D’état

Coup

Fyodor Dostoevsky is most famous for writing Crime and Punishment. But one of his lesser known works, The Idiot, made a more lasting impression on me. The main character is a twenty-six year old Prince Myshkin. He is not the prototypical hero. He seems somewhat naïve. He is very simple in his outlook. And he has some physical infirmities. He … [Read more...]
