The 2002 Year in Movies Review - Steven Greydanus

The Academy vs. the Humanities - Sir Frank Kermode

AS a retired professor of English who now and again returns to teaching, I am aware that the work I try to do with my students has less and less in common with what is going on in adjacent classrooms. I regret being out of step, but it is too late to break the habits of a lifetime, and in any case I cannot believe that they are bad habits. Read more...

The Art of Flannery O’Connor - Carl Olson

Flannery O’Connor was an extraordinary author and a Catholic artist of profound depth and insight.

In his novels, Dostoevsky brings out the truth that those who "kill" God also kill man and that man without God cannot remain free. Read more...

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - Frederica Mathewes-Green

Thanks no doubt to the guiding hand of Lewis' stepson, Douglas Gresham (himself a well-known evangelical), the script keeps the faith. Yet the message does not overpower the story (despite Tolkien's fears), but rather hits the very target Lewis intended. Read more...

The Civil War Returns - Bill Kauffman

Mr. Lincoln said he liked his speeches short and sweet, so here it is: The new Warner Brothers picture "Gods and Generals" is not only the finest movie ever made about the Civil War, it is also the best American historical film. Period. Read more...
