<\/a> On Fri\u00addays<\/s> (this did go to my Sub\u00adstack on Fri\u00adday, but my web\u00adsite crashed and I only just got it back up) I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions. If you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is vol\u00adume 385, which is 5 x 7 x 11. That feels cool to me and I don\u2019t know exact\u00adly why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How Tall Would a Stack of New Tes\u00adta\u00adment Man\u00adu\u00adscripts Be?<\/a> (Daniel B. Wal\u00adlace, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cIf you could stack up all hand\u00adwrit\u00adten man\u00adu\u00adscripts of the New Testament\u2014Greek, Syr\u00adi\u00adac, Latin, Cop\u00adtic, all languages\u2014how tall would the stack be? I  was recent\u00adly chal\u00adlenged on my num\u00adbers in a Face\u00adbook dis\u00adcus\u00adsion in the group \u2018New Tes\u00adta\u00adment Tex\u00adtu\u00adal Crit\u00adi\u00adcism.\u2019 I have said in many lec\u00adtures that it would be the equiv\u00ada\u00adlent of c. 4 & 1\/2 Empire State Build\u00adings stacked on top of each oth\u00ader. How did I come up with that num\u00adber?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A Poet for \u2018Bruised Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals\u2019<\/a> (Kara Bet\u00adtis, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cMy pub\u00adlish\u00ader was very reluc\u00adtant to take on my book, because \u2018Nobody\u2019s writ\u00ading son\u00adnets now, and young peo\u00adple won\u2019t like that,\u2019\u2009\u201d Gui\u00adte told me at a sand\u00adwich shop in Van\u00adcou\u00adver. \u201cBut actu\u00adal\u00adly, it turns out that\u2019s exact\u00adly what they like, because it\u2019s pre\u00adcise\u00adly not a tweet.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What\u2019s Up with Weird Bible Sex<\/a>? (Dru John\u00adson, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cAny\u00adone who reads the Bible today may be tempt\u00aded to skip over the sex. It can seem too crude, too impo\u00adlite, or at least not spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly edi\u00adfy\u00ading for our morn\u00ading devo\u00adtions. But I want to argue that we should read the Bible that we have and take it seri\u00adous\u00adly. Even the R\u2011rated bits. When you read Gen\u00ade\u00adsis, pay atten\u00adtion to the details of the sex. They are try\u00ading to teach us about the nature of our bod\u00adies and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties before God.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. How Stan\u00adford Failed the Aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic Free\u00addom Test<\/a> (Jay Bat\u00adtacharya, Tablet Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cFac\u00adul\u00adty at Stan\u00adford should right\u00adly wor\u00adry whether their pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal work will lead to deplat\u00adform\u00ading, excom\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion, and polit\u00adi\u00adcal tar\u00adget\u00ading. In this envi\u00adron\u00adment, pro\u00adfes\u00adsors and stu\u00addents alike would be wise to look over their shoul\u00adders at all times, in the knowl\u00adedge that the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty no longer has your back. And mem\u00adbers of the pub\u00adlic should under\u00adstand that many of those urg\u00ading them to \u2018trust the sci\u00adence\u2019 on com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded mat\u00adters of pub\u00adlic con\u00adcern are also those work\u00ading to ensure that \u2018the sci\u00adence\u2019 nev\u00ader turns up answers that they don\u2019t like.\u201d Dr. Bat\u00adtacharya is both a believ\u00ader and a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Stan\u00adford.\n
