I wrote a book about a mad king who takes over a city, Münster, Germany in 1533, stokes apocalyptic fever dreams of Christ's return, and in 16 months brings it to ruin. Seems kind of timely somehow.

Niebuhr’s reputation as a towering public intellectual is well earned. But he was at his most dynamic as a preacher. Really enjoyed digging in to one of his sermons with the LTN crew! @lovethyniebuhr.bsky.social

the needle has swung from Pelagius to Augustine.

this is not about theology; this is about politics. or vice versa.

anyway, I think a re-reading of Reinhold Niebuhr might be timely/useful. Care to join me?

Silence in Heaven
After this apocalyptic election, I don't want to hear any more pundits prattle. Give me some old-school Augustinian pessimism, and out of that I will fashion hope.
