Thursday April 6, 2006

Education: Justin Taylor quotes Mortimer Adler on “The Pain of Learning.” “One of the reasons why the education given by our schools is so frothy and vapid is that the American people generally–the parent even more than the teacher–wish childhood to be unspoiled by pain.”

Creation: National Geographic has an interesting video of a “critter cam” they booked up to a bear.

Humor: The latest issue of The Sacred Sandwich is ready for consumption. If you enjoy satire, head on over and give it a read.

Theology: David Wayne is the latest blogger to tackle the question of “What is the Gospel?”
