The Pietist Schoolman

This will be my one and only new post this week, as I’ll take a hiatus during our Thanksgiving break. Tuesday through Friday I’ll go into “Best of” mode, re-running some earlier posts.

Blessings on all of those who will be traveling and gathering to celebrate the holiday with family and friends, but even more so on those for whom the holiday is a reminder of loss and absence.

The most popular posts in the last month here at The Pietist Schoolman:

1. Micah 6:8 in Christian Rhetoric
2. Tolkien, Lewis, and the Memory of War
3. Unhappy Valley
4. Christian Colleges as Businesses
5. The Fear of Preaching
6. History and Civic Virtue
7. Feed My Starving Children
8. A Stretched People
9. The First War Documentary
10. “What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?”

Then in honor of the eleventh and twelfth members of the actual “Big 10,” two more posts I especially enjoyed writing that didn’t quite crack the list:

• Surprised by Oxford: Eastertide and After
• College Architecture and Christian Simplicity
