Since I finished my Quals, Tripp’s been bugging me to begin posting on 19th and 20th century philosophical-theology. I gotta be honest, here: I’m really tired of reading and writing that kind of stuff. The truth of the matter is that I think Tripp just wants me to put my exams online so he doesn’t [...]
I haven’t been blogging for a bit, now; I’ve been working on passing my Qualifying Exams. But I’m back for a while and will be presenting to you what are some hopefully thought-provoking posts!

This is the first book we are reading\blogging through in the [...]
