A thread from the man himself (that is, my husband) on why you should take his class: Maimonides, to my mind, is a most important interlocutor to recover today, in addition to a healthy influx of scholastic theology a la Thomas Aquinas. /1
You need to be reading a lot more Aristotle.
I have pressing questions about how Ezekiel 4:12 informs Food for Life's product.
Went to a party last night and of course find a man who worked in energy his whole career. He is telling me these horror stories about wind mill assembly. They need 19 semi trucks to bring in the crane needed to assemble one wind mill. It's so heavy they have to wait until the…
The tree is gone but the forbidden fruit remains. Unending knowledge of good and evil. So few of us old enough to have our eyes opened.

Dante on retrieval: "For all men whom the Higher Nature has endowed with a love of truth, this above all seems to be a matter of concern, that just as they have been enriched by the efforts of their forebears, so they too may work for future generations... 1/
I fully agree! The trouble is that politics is not a body of knowledge; it's more like the book of Proverbs than the ten commandments. It rests on unchanging first principles, but concerns contingent circumstances. So, it's not retrievable in the same way as e.g. doctrine of God.
Protestant Ressourcement Twitter (there are dozens of us) seems to be speed running something like the 20th-century crises of a Strauss divided, as you have a camp worried the miseducated masses are so dangerous that they should only be selectively introduced to early modern…

Should I write a book on 12 Great Books and how to read them? Drop a comment to recommend a book and why that should make the list.
I'm glad this is out there. @johnehrett is very sharp. But I think this gets some things wrong, or at least not obviously right--most significantly, the supposed difference between theological and other types of retrieval; the short shrifting of prudence as a "discursive

Strictly and properly, covenant denotes the agreement of God with man by which God promises his goods (and especially eternal life to him), and by man, in turn, duty and worship are engaged (certain external signs being employed for the sake of confirmation). Turretin Inst. 8.3.1
A covenant of God with man is an agreement between God and man, about the way of obtaining consummate happiness; including a commination of eternal destruction, with which the contemner of the happiness offered in that way, is to be punished. — Witsius
"A covenant among men is commonly called a mutual agreement between two or more persons concerning the mutual bestowal of certain goods and offices for the sake of common utility." ~ Turretin, Inst. 8.3.1
Properly, [a covenant] signifies a mutual agreement between parties with respect to something. — Herman Witsius Whoa, it's that simple
