This week's random quote

According to CNN, one in four adults say they read no books at all in the past year, which reminds me of a quote by Mark Twain:

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."

Information Overload

Alan Jacobs tells us that "the 'information flood' has a longer history than we suppose." He provides a nice quote from Francis Bacon:

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

Dawkins and the trilemma

Vic Reppert has a short response to Richard Dawkins' criticism of C.S. Lewis' trilemma argument for Christ's divinity.

Random quote of the week - Thomas a Kempis

Try to be patient in bearing with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be. Remember that you also have many failings which others must bear.

If you cannot make yourself what you would like to be, how can you expect to have anyone else exactly as you would like them?

We would willingly have others perfect and yet we do not amend our own faults.

-Imitation of Christ, Book One, chapter 16

Inerrancy and the Resurrection
