Articles include the following:
A Vacation for Grünewald: On Karl Barth’s Vexed Relationship with Visual Art

It’s a very well-written article* – in fact beautifully-written in some places. I enjoyed reading it.

Glad you enjoyed it … And … with all those positive refs to Shakespeare.
But aren’t you meant to be revising for exams?
