Excellent review of the superb (and eagerly awaited) new translation of #Petrarch’s Canzoniere by @amjuster
Thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/…
Another fascinating book from @joellooper and @eerdmansbooks just arrived. I’m looking forward to reading this.

David Burrell died last week. He was a major contributor to contemporary scholarship on Aquinas, divine action and creation, and the relationship between the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions in philosophy. These are some representative works. RIP.

Alasdair MacIntyre: “Charles De Koninck is the major author of the most important development of Thomism in the twentieth century, often referred to as Laval Thomism. And its greatest exponent after De Koninck himself was the most important philosopher who has ever taught in the Notre Dame philosophy department, Ralph McInerny”
Thanks be to God for the life and work of Dave Burrell. What a great soul. Requiescat in pace, brother. legacy.com/us/obituaries/leg…

Best classrooms on the planet! Dr. Moore (@ScottHMoore) lecturing on the Pre-Socratic philosophers in Miletus, the birthplace of philosophy, and Dr. Whitlark reading Acts 19 in the theater at Ephesus where the riot against St. Paul occurred.

We’re back! Baylor students at the Acropolis, Mars Hill, and with the restored Caryatids!
Are you traveling this summer? Don’t take more than you can put in a carry-on bag. When you check a bag, four things can happen—and three of them are bad.

My new edition of Petrarch’s *The Life of Solitude* is now out. It’s Petrarch’s remarkable reflection on silence, solitude, contemplation, and true friendship. Thanks to everyone at @Baylor_Press for making this new edition possible.

Happy Mardi Gras from New Orleans! Thinking of all of my @IrisMurdoch friends while attending the @KreweofIris parade!
Great win by the Bears today. Of course, we knew it was inevitable. @BaylorMBB @OurDailyBears
I just saw that Gordon Fee has died. I never met him but I’ve learned so much from him. He used to say, “Do I have to love my neighbor? Of course you do. The good news is that you get to.”
Well done, good and faithful servant. Requiescat in pace.
“Compacting knowledge to save time is to philosophizing as turning the oven 100 degrees too high is to cake-baking: cinders with a raw center.”
~Eva Brann, *The Music of the Republic: Essays on Socrates’ Conversations*
On this day in 1942, Edith Stein, who took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, was martyred by the Nazis. Husserlian phenomenologist, Discalced Carmelite, martyr, and now patron saint of Europe, she was quite simply one of the most remarkable people who has ever lived.
