This month I have a variety of thoughts to share with my readers which I am linking to below.
First, you can hear my short radio spot on EWTN’s Son Rise morning radio show which aired around 7:45 Eastern Time on 12/20. It should be posted here within a few days. The interview was about Benedict XVI’s biblical interpretation in general and his understanding of the Gospel infancy narratives in particular.
In the blogosphere there’s this interview I did with Brandon Vogt on my recent book Dark Passages of the Bible.
At Homiletic and Pastoral Review I recently authored a piece on reading Jesus’ infancy through the eyes of Pope Benedict XVI. This piece discusses how and in what sense the Gospels record history and teach theology.
Today Brandon has published my article Common Ground for Catholics and Atheists? Violence Is Contrary to God’s Nature on his wonderful site Strange Notions. This site is dedicated to fostering dialogue between Catholics and atheists, serving as a “digital Areopagus.”
Finally, Crisis Magazine has published an article of mine, Benedict XVI on the Christmas Readings. It helps us make sense of the seemingly boring genealogies in the Gospels.
Happy Advent and Merry early Christmas to you and yours.
