Angels in the Architecture

I'm back. I am going to begin my summer (technically the students are still testing but I am not teaching anymore so ly time has opened up a little) by blogging through Angels in the Architecture by Douglas Wilson and Douglas Jones.
I read this when I was still a student and all these ideas about a reformed worldview and classical education were still in their idealistic infancy. However, I have picked this book back up again recently, eight years later, and realized its great worth. It is the kind of book you should read once a year, not once a decade. Who knows, I might even assign this book next time I teach Christendom, or Modernity.

Going to be gone for a little bit

I am going to have to put this blog on hold for just a little bit. We are at the one month left mark at school and there is a lot to do with grading research papers and making and grading final exams. As soon as summer hits though I have planned to blog my way through a couple of books. The first in Richard Weaver's Ideas Have Consequences. I have been reading it lately (as you can see on the Book List) and am absolutely blown away. It is truly one of those paradigm-changing books that you think "I know I should read that" but never get around to it and then kick yourself repeatedly once you do get around to it. The other book I want to blog about is Angels in the Architecture. It is a great book of essays written about 1998 by Douglas Wilson and Doug Jones. I read it when it first came out but haven't really touched it since. I picked it back up a week or so ago and am refreshed with the content. I am slowly becoming an agrarian anyway, so this is just fuel for the fire.
I hope you'll pick these books up and play around with them as well and we'll compare notes once I come back in late May or early June.
