Here’s an interview with Wesley about his games today. You’ll like what he says.

Meanwhile, I’m reading Brant Pitre’s new book.

US HERE – UK HERE

Jesus and Divine Christology

Generations of scholars have asserted, with little evidence other than their hermeneutic of suspicion, that Christ in His earthly life never made any claim to be divine. Pitre tackles this point and demonstrates that Christ did, in fact, make divinity claims. One strong point in favor of divinity claims is that the early Church started out with a “high” Christology. Pitre has great expertise in the context of 1st c. Judaism and uses it to reexamine the issue. This is not a “popular” book. Rather, it is more scholarly in approach and method, which would challenge quite a few readers (some clergy included, I think, and for more than one reason, given how they say Mass, preach, and neglect the confessional).

It is an important book.

Meanwhile, black to more and mate in 4.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

Hey Fathers! How about a clerical Guayabera shirt for the hot summer days?
