I’m not sure how I want this post to be structured. The fact is that over the past few months, a whole bunch of thoughts have been swirling around my brain and trying to form themselves into some kind of coherent thing about what the title of this post is about. Yet is has been…
In my previous two posts, I introduced a long, T.S. Eliot-inspired poem I wrote back in the 90s entitled, The Seven Circles of Eternity’s Garden. Here is the link to the first post, (Circle 1: The Blood of Eden, and Circle 2: Rome), and here is the link to the second post (Circle 3: Death…
In my previous post, I introduced a long, T.S. Eliot-inspired poem I wrote back in the 90s entitled, The Seven Circles of Eternity’s Garden. Here is the link to that first post, in which I briefly explained the concept of the poem, as well as provided a general overview of Circle 1: The Blood of…
Back in 1991, I graduated college with a major in English Literature, and I read and wrote quite a bit of poetry. In particular, after college I got immensely interested in the poetry of T.S. Eliot—to this day, he is my favorite poet. In any case, in 1993 I wrote a long poem entitled The…
The next stop on our journey through the Early Church Fathers is another anonymous document called The Didache: The Teaching of the Lord According to the 12 Apostles. Like the Letter to Diognetus, The Didache is dated to the early 2nd century. What is even more amazing is that it had been lost for centuries…

It is written to someone whom the writer addresses as, “my lord Diognetus.” In any case, this…
Last year, I did a blog series in which I did readings of various T.S. Eliot poems, in which I also provided brief explanations and analyses of those poems. For various reasons, even though I recorded my reading of perhaps T.S. Eliot’s most famous poem, The Wasteland, I never got around to making a video…

These three are commonly referred to as the “Apostolic Fathers” because, although being the earliest of…
Over the past month, I’ve been surprisingly busy. I occasionally get asked to do an interview regarding my book Heresy of Ham, but over this past month, I’ve had three different requests! Here is #3 for your view pleasure. The guy who does this “Paulogia” YouTube channel is a former Christian turned atheist, but he…
A couple of weeks ago, Zach Miller interviewed me for his YouTube channel to talk about what I feel is the proper way to read and interpret Genesis 1-11. It was a fun interview. If you’d like to take a look, here is the link!
