Today is launch day for @mereorthodoxy's new site--and it's gorgeous!!! Check it out, and you might as well begin by reading @jake_meador's welcome and philosophical reflection on the value of this project for church life and civic life. https://t.co/mIhsraSaq5
It's taken me over a month since the podcast was recorded to realize @Matt_Mellema and I were wearing almost the same style shirt. I don't know if that's a good luck charm, but it was certainly a great conversation. https://t.co/WmcorXKhcn
I think Max Leyf and Landon Loftin offer some insights into this question in What Barfield Thought, but I'm looking forward to seeing what @bradleybirzer has written about this.
@bradleybirzer I’m so glad you are reading Barfield. I’m trying to understand his engagement with Steiner and how this influence impacted Lewis and Tolkein - and how early 20th century anthroposophy compares with theosophy.

Talking with friends about writing projects. One says, "Why would you have multiple drafts of something saved? That confuses everything."
This friend is a Tolkien scholar.
I think screenwriter william goldman (the princess bride) and playwright robert goldman (the lion in winter) were on equal status during their lifetimes, but in different fields.
Anyone else?
A recent conversation has made me want to ask: are there any sibling writers, apart from the Bronte sisters, who are equally eminent? More or less equal, not a pair in which one person is more known as "the sibling".
A. S. Byatt & Margaret Drabble?
William & Henry James?
Well, here's a new. A very thorough study of Thomistic theology in Tolkien's Middle-earth writings is being sold... through a romance book retailer called The Ripped Bodice. I know it has "Vices" in the title, but still...
Charles Williams Month continues by diving into his most important concept - co-inherence - with Dr. Paul Fiddes as our guide...
