Feminism and Christianity are incompatible. That's according to Rachel Wilson in her book Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation (2021). I think that is perhaps The Great Debate. The author makes a compelling case. I agree with much of what she has to say. The book is well researched and sourced. Let's talk about it. … Continue reading Feminism and Christianity

Have We Made this Mess? The Vortex
Here I am again, now, looking back. This book, The Vortex, * was published in 2009; and I was really struck by it. So much so that I made this video.

The novel is now historical fiction. It accurately and brilliantly depicts what it was like to be a certain type … Continue reading The River Why Revisited
Enemy Of God: King Arthur

Because it attempts to take something that is unknowable, indeed, even uncertain and give it life - authenticity. Is that possible? The tale takes … Continue reading Enemy Of God: King Arthur
