#OTD May 2, 1559:
John Knox returned to Scotland after years of exile on the European continent. Strengthened by his time in Calvin’s Geneva, he quickly became the leading voice of the Scottish Reformation. With fiery preaching, Knox challenged Roman Catholic authority and played a central role in establishing Presbyterian church government in Scotland.

Una última recomendación para cerrar la semana, la más reciente contribución a la discusión sobre la eutanasia: Do Not Go Gentle, de la filósofa feminista Kathleen Stock. No necesito decir nada sobre las credenciales de Stock como filósofa (y sobre su coraje, que la llevó a perder su trabajo en la Universidad de Sussex). Pero sobre este libro en particular vale la pena subrayar otras virtudes que integra. Hay criterios de orientación básicos en juego, y Stock los discute de manera muy accesible, pero es verdaderamente excepcional en su comprensión de cómo esos principios luego aterrizan en la realidad. Al menos a mí me pareció no solo un libro convincente sobre este tema en particular, sino además un modelo para académicos que participan de la discusión pública.

Being a Christian doesn’t mean pretending that everything is ‘all right really’ when actually it isn’t. To lament is to recognize that things still are out of joint, and that we can and should bring our puzzled sorrow and frustration into God’s presence. God’s gift of lament (following the Jesus who, according to Isaiah 53.3, was ‘a man of sorrows and acquainted with infirmity’) is the way we join in with God’s own sorrow at the continuing tragedy of his world.
Second, though, the importance of genuine celebration. Keeping the season of Easter isn’t whistling in the dark. It is opening our eyes to the light – and, in astonished gratitude, determining day by day to live in that light. Once we get Lent right – once we learn to lament properly, with our bodies as well as our minds and hearts – we can then praise God for Jesus’ death and resurrection, and for the new creation into which we have been brought, without any danger of making it sound cheap or trivial.
