As Christians, we are charged with being able to defend our faith which is something that cannot be seen. The Bible is the Word of God and He gave us apologetics within it so that we can defend Christianity. When we look at the Bible as a whole, it is a metanarrative of the story of Jesus the Christ coming as our Savior. The Old Testament identifying Him as the Godhead and prophesying His coming in the flesh to redeem man. The New Testament documents His birth, His ministry and His sacrifice in the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Throughout history, Christians have been challenged when it comes to explaining why we are Christians and why we believe that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected on the third day.

Do you still think that global warming isn’t a dangerous issue that needs the human species to wisen up and start dealing with it through active scientific measures, as opposed to denial? If so, feel free to continue being the ones with your head in the sand.

The Norton Shakespeare
I don’t pull this book off the shelf often for a simple reason—it’s heavy, so heavy that it’s a tome, not a book, and I can look up most of the Shakespeare I need in paperback Norton anthologies, but when I need this book, there are few substitutes that can give me everything I need. I had trouble finding it today, thinking it already lived on a recently curated shelf in the room where I breathe best.

The Hum of Taos: The low-frequency noise heard by 2% of the population that has no known source.
The pressure started behind my molars, a rhythmic, subsonic pulse that felt less like a sound and more like the earth itself was trying to grind its teeth. It wasn't loud. It wasn't even audible in the traditional sense. It was a thick, visceral vibration that crawled up through the soles of my boots and settled in the soft tissue of my throat. In the high, thin air of Taos, New Mexico, the silence is supposed to be absolute. It is a desert of sagebrush, high-altitude light, and obsidian. But for the "Hearers," the silence is a lie. They describe it as a diesel engine idling three blocks away. You go to the window. You look at the street. Empty. You put your ear to the drywall. The wall is cold. Silent. Yet, the thrum continues, a low-frequency haunting that has no origin and, for the two percent of us cursed with the right biology, no end.
