The different types of conflict in literature. Who knew there were so many? Or that these days it's no longer "man" versus everything else?

Created this video on the art historian Erwin Panofsky's explanation of gothic architecture for our other Youtube channel. So important to understand how for medieval Christians aesthetics were in harmony with reason. youtu.be/ccIBEE4Iww0?si=b5cS…

Excited that I'll be speaking at the Undiscovered C. S. Lewis Conference in Oregon in September. My talk is on allegory, but I'm most excited to meet many wonderful Lewis fans. #undiscoveredcslewis

Wrote this piece on Christian humour a few years ago. Rereading it makes me realize how far back my love of G. K. Chesterton goes. #Chesterton #Christianity #Literature reformedperspective.ca/humor…

Great interview with Bono, in which he talks at length about his faith. I really appreciated his comments on joy and lightness. youtu.be/rfyqzTMPAqY?t=1551
