Exercising Choice
Dr. Peter Mills reflects: As Descartes asserted, “I think therefor I am”, but about what do we think, and to what end? In many cases, we think in order to make decisions. The range of decisions is vast, although many are only of a minor nature. If a glass is seen on the kitchen table, is it left where it is or put away in a cupboard? A very small matter, but still a decision. At the other end of the spectrum, however, decisions can occasionally be life changing ... For a decision to be meaningful, there has to be choice available. In fact, given that decision-making is essential to our nature as human beings, so too must be the presence of choice in our lives.

Book Review: Keith Mascord “An Honest Faith: The Possible Friendship of Athens and Jerusalem’
Reviewer David Ellis writes: Keith Mascord faces up to the challenge to orthodox faith put by literary-historical analysis. First he “deconstructs" the Bible as history, and then re-establishes it as “mythology”, truthful, even if not true. Then he starts a discussion about the way ahead.
