Good and evil through Steinbeck’s eyes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading East of Eden with some friends this summer gave me my first exposure to John Steinbeck. As a rule American literature isn’t my first port of call – Willa Cather and Mark Twain are honourable exceptions – but my first impression of Steinbeck was that he certainly knows how to write. The prose is vivid, the descriptions are colourful and he has a gift for entering into the consciousness of his characters in a way that makes them both sympathetic and convincing. My second impression was tha
Bringing Scripture study into the app age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recent years have seen a revival of Scripture study among Catholics. Perhaps the single most important contributor to this biblical renaissance has been the St Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Located in Steubenville, Ohio, this influential non-profit has spent the last 25 years teaching Catholics to read Sacred Scripture from the heart of the Church.

Were they quite certain that this wasn’t an AI hoax, or some elaborate prank? Upon being reassured that the story was real, I was overcome with emotion. While I hadn’t followed Schmid’s work all too closely, I knew enough about him to feel intimidated by his extraordinary in
The virtuous fear we’ve forgotten (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What are the virtues most often highlighted in sacred scripture? Certainly love, faith and forgiveness are among the usual suspects. But there is one virtue that we almost never discuss which receives an enormous amount of attention in the Word of God, namely, fear of the Lord. By some counts, this foundational spiritual gift is praised in over 200 verses. Fear of the Lord is especially prominent in the Bible’s wisdom literature. It is the central theme of the book of Proverbs, for example, wher
