It’s been a while since I shared some link love. Let me remedy that:

• Cass Sunstein reviews Jeremy Adelman’s new book, Worldly Philosopher: The Odyssey of Albert O. Hirschman.
• Jim Gordon shares some good words from Nicholas Lash about teaching and learning.
• Travis McMaken is trying to get people to read Sallie McFague’s Metaphorical Theology. Good luck mate!
• Steve Holmes shares a deeply moving post on one of Britain’s most able and likable twentieth century theologians – Colin Gunton.
• Robert Fisk reflects on some implications of Israel’s intervention in the Syrian war.
• Christopher Brittain on ‘the real story of growth and decline in liberal and conservative churches’.
• The talks from Wheaton’s conference on Christian Political Witness are now up.
• Celebrating Kierkegaard with George Pattison.
• Patrick Stokes, Hubert Dreyfus and Tim Rayner talk Kierkegaard.
• Matthew Wilcoxen reviews Suzanne McDonald’s latest book, Re-Imaging Election: Divine Election as Representing God to Others and Others to God.
• Reading about the ‘Pacific garbage patch’ made me very sad.
• Mark Farmaner asks, Is Aung San Suu Kyi the real enemy?
• 101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions is the funniest book I’ve read in ages.
• Jim Davila and Mark Goodacre reflect on the work of Geza Vermes, 1924-2013.
• Some time well spent.
• I’ve been listening to some great sounds this week: Steve Earle’s latest, The Low Highway, and Hello Cruel World by Gretchen Peters. Peters’ latest DVD Woman On The Wheel came out this week. I look forward to seeing it soon.
• Finally, tomorrow is Uncle Karl’s birthday. How are you planning to mark it?
