    1,267 words As a zealous Christian young man, most of the books I had been reading were concerned with one thing: devotion, which I would basically define as loving God, avoiding sin, and proselytizing per The Great Commission. “Culture,” on the other hand, was, I believed, a distraction at best, certainly superfluous. A stumbling block […]

    2,103 words Men are citizens of their age as much as citizens of their country, as Schiller once remarked.
