If the temptations finally overwhelm the poor little ecclesiastical functionaries, and they go the way of all flesh, a well-planned set of institutional blueprints (as we find in the pastorals) will provide the marching orders for the inevitable reformers.

Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics.

Sharp-edged but humorous, \u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Food Catholic\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the unscriptural approach to food that many Christians have developed in recent years. (By the way, a \"food catholic\" is somebody who accepts all eaters of all foods, even if he or she doesn't actually eat quinoa.) Specifically, the book addresses divisive threats to Christian table fellowship, the know-it-all pride of newfangled \"health food\" rules, and the dislocated moralism that makes \"organic\" and \"natural\" the signs of righteousness while disdaining the brethren who buy their beef at Stuffmart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"\"A fabulous primer on how we should think through our meals together.\" ~Sheologians\\r\\n\"My point is not that sinning with food is impossible.
