Andy and I are thinking of doing a book club for the first book in Sergius Bulgakov's Major Trilogy, "Lamb of God". A book of which DBH has said is the greatest contemporary work on Christology If you are interested, please let me know in replies so we can organise something!

@yeppjane, whose reputation as a poetry scholar is growing fast, has written a wonderful appreciation of WH Auden for the @NewStatesman. I particularly liked the way her essay hints, via Auden, at what an "English attitude to religion" was, is or might be newstatesman.com/culture/books/…

If we're still talking about McCarthy, may I add that I've just about finished Patrick White's The Vivisector, and it gives the heights of McCarthy's depravity (and purple prose) a real run for its money!

@byzantinecopt The rarest, but most OP combination of all that I have literally had the privilege to witness of late amongst friends: The ruthlessly pragmatic and competent woman as sole breadwinner while the trophy husband and stay at home poet raises the kids. 10/10 what God intended.

in terms of romance, i think the best combination is a sensible man & a sensitive woman. it’s the perfect balance because the latter tends to be more idealistic (& poetic) but sensibility brings them back to reality.

The thing about writing stuff and sometimes impulsively posting it at 3-4 AM EST is that you suddenly become very grateful to select early risers in Europe and a bunch of Australian literati, all of whom you suddenly become ride or die nocturnal comrades with.

New on my Substack- a review-essay on a new set of contemporary classical ballet collaborations at Counterpointe 13, and the value of difficulty and classical lineages made new in an inattentive world. open.substack.com/pub/avmarracci…

@levantophile This is the type of argument Robert Irwin (in his book For Lust of Knowing) makes against Said's Orientalism.

I am struck, and pleasantly amused, by the flawless, highly ornate Arabic prose of this late 19th-century Cambridge Persianist, who was evidently an accomplished Arabist as well. Incidentally, this is one reason I find Edward Said’s Orientalism overly dismissive and uncharitable toward Western scholars. Men like Browne devoted an extraordinary effort to mastering a difficult language and culture, and that kind of devotion is hard to see as anything other than a labor of love, especially when his Arabic is so poetic and refined. (I must admit, I am envious!) Ironically, Arabists like Browne likely possessed a far more advanced command of Arabic than Said ever did.
Fitzroy Morrissey@fitzmorrissey

I love this: the Cambridge Persianist Edward Granville Browne writing to Ignaz Goldziher in Arabic rhymed prose (sajʿ). Let’s bring this back among Arabist colleagues!

@UntoldFortune Not sure about this. Don't most classical theists go to great pains to argue that by "divine simplicity" they mean that God is not composed of parts?

Halam sees in absolute clarity what somehow most Christian theologians don’t see in literal decades of study. would that this were an exaggeration. But it’s not.

Pavese has made me want to write dialogues. Bring back the dialogue as form! Is it … fiction? Nonfiction? Both?

@pwhhjr DBH addresses this argument in That All Shall be Saved and in pretty much every talk he's given on the topic.

@cappadocianisms I think he most often called himself a "scholar of religions" but these days would say his main interest is fiction/poetry.

David Bentley Hart is not a Marcionite except to someone with fragile faith and a lack of basic reading comprehension.
