Dipping my toes into some rather different academic waters, I’ve written a short review of Jc Beall’s “The Contradictory Christ.” A draft is here, if you’d like to take a look. https://consequently.org/papers/contradictory-christ-review.pdf https://t.co/Bv4RoI7x7K

@SophieGraceCha1 Thanks for this summary, Sophie. I have read Martin Laird’s Into the Silent Land, and found it provocative and helpful. I will look for A Time to Keep Silence.

Thought and Reality

Michael Dummett

Michael Dummett certainly had a way of ending a book. These are the last lines of _Thought and Reality_, from 2006. The last two chapters (“Reality As It Is In Itself” and “God and the World”) are out of this world. A bonus—at 109 pages it’s 1/10th the size of his Frege books. https://t.co/zT3tKiIY8j
