My fifth Christian metal album just came out on Spotify. The songs touch on everything from Plato’s allegory of the cave to a famous quotation by St. Anselm to two very well-known English poems, all in traditional heavy metal and pointed toward Christ. https://t.co/HtT5K0FD9K
Buy @malcolmguite's Galahad & the Grail if only for Appendix B. It lays out what my wife & I have been about in teaching of Latin for years. It has stoked my already roaring blaze into a conflagration. All Christians in education of any kind must read it. https://t.co/U82S5cbimH
from Book 1, Stave V
Over the head of every knight
they saw a tongue of flame alight,
and as they gazed around in awe
it seemed that each the other saw
more fair and comely than before,
as though in Heaven’s light.

If you are fan of poetry, if you are a fan of the King Arthur legend, or if you are merely a friend of mine seeking a solid recommendation, look no further than the inimitable Malcolm Guite's Galahad and the Grail, the first volume in his epic Arthuriad. https://t.co/fvHu9UOcM7
@PastorWildman, with whom I co-hosted a Christian metal podcast for several years, wrote a review about my new metal project Bloodwashed. I'm honored by the first part of his review and rolling my eyes to the second. Love ya', brother! https://t.co/lyPmHPQi1p
My next two albums are out! Heavenly Host follows the tradition of bands like Sabaton focusing on warfare, here biblical battles & the spiritual warfare we face today. Praise of Metal features the kind of music I like to sing when praising the Lord. https://t.co/SV7VO9Expr
Teachers of language, history, and art have a duty not only to their students, but to those who created the works and did the very things that they teach. To cancel a program of study at a high school or university is to help silence voices forever. https://t.co/uxUixGqtmo

Today is the feast of St. Anselm, one of the great geniuses of the theological tradition. In his “Cur Deus Homo,” he offered an explanation of the cross that beguiles theological minds to this day. But he is most famous, of course, for what came to be called the “ontological argument” for God's existence. Brilliant people have criticized it (Aquinas and Kant most famously), but equally brilliant people have defended it (Bonaventure, Descartes, Charles Hartshorne, and Alvin Plantinga to name a few). Einstein's colleague Kurt Gödel famously advocated it, arguing that a supremely perfect being must have all possible perfections, including that of necessary existence. Therefore, we can conclude from the very notion of God that God necessarily exists. Perhaps we could honor St. Anselm today by taking the time to think deeply about “that than which nothing greater can be thought.”
