![]() ![]() ![]() My friend was somewhat bored with the content. I saw some of the videos with a friend who isn’t an academic. It’s not aimed at the heart (or spirit), so the videos don’t provide spiritual insight or revelation. They give a general overview of each NT letter as they see it. They cover things like authorial intent, origin, who wrote what, the various debates on controversial questions of authorship, time, place, the main themes of each NT book, etc. They go through the entire New Testament, from Matthew to Revelation. Some videos capture places like Israel, Rome, etc. The content for each video runs from about 15 minutes to 40 minutes.Įach video features both Wright and Bird alternating. They were obviously professionally recorded. Let me explain what the video lecture series is and isn’t. ![]()

I had to revive the atrophied organ in my chest dedicated to processing whimsy and mercurial wonderment to understand Winterson’s collection. Winterson, this had better be good,” I said to a startled-looking, plastic reindeer half-buried in desiccated poinsettia leaves. ![]() Adjusting my monocle, I smirked into the darkness of my cellar. I prefer to leave Christmas down there, so imagine my surprise when asked to review Jeanette Winterson’s CHRISTMAS DAYS: 12 STORIES AND 12 FEASTS FOR 12 DAYS. Polaroids of the angry uncle, the racist grandfather, the Born Again aunt with the long nails and the red eyes from staring too long at the bottom of a bourbon bottle, all carefully catalogued and labeled for my inevitable, once-a-year grudge viewing. There are picture albums stacked perilously high near the furnace, filled with photos of Christmases past. ![]() My heart is a coal cellar, piled high with flattened, inflatable Santas, shattered Christmas tree ornaments, and red and green drifts of unsent holiday greeting cards. ![]() ![]() ![]() Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). ![]() “Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”- The Washington Post Book Worldįacing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons?
