Great review by Brad East of The Vanishing Church:

\n
\n

The Church does not exist to grease the wheels of democracy. Paul did not found churches in Corinth and Ephesus to build up the civic health of the Roman Empire. The faithfulness of the Coptic Church is not measured by Egypt’s ranking in the social progress index. The Church is the body of Christ, called forth by the gospel into fellowship with the living God and sent by his Spirit to witness in the world to the good news of salvation. If, in the fulfillment of this mission, the measurable effects are hailed by social and political scientists, that is...

Daniel Mitsui:

According to legend, Albertus Magnus had spent thirty years devising an oracular head, a mechanical device that could answer questions posed to it. Thomas Aquinas smashed it to pieces. Different versions of the story say that this was out of annoyance, or of fright; I prefer to think that St. Thomas had prophetic insight into the evils such devices could and would cause.

An excellent piece by Trevin Wax on why translation choices matter and picking a translation of Augustine’s Confessions. I love his yearly practice of re-reading Confessions.

\n
\n

Several years ago, I adopted a new practice: reading Confessions at the beginning of each year, each time in a different translation. Since then, I’ve revisited Ruden but also read versions by Peter Constantine, Henry Chadwick, Frank Sheed, Maria Boulding, Anthony Esolen, and Thomas Williams. This annual read-through has become a spiritual reorientation for me, a way of tuning my heart at the year’s outset.
