Comments

[Chris]

Great! I finally finished Ulysses recently, so it looks like I can read a lot of your Joyce articles now. Thanks for reminding me of these.

Also, kind of a random question, but I was wondering, do you have any thoughts on weak theology (I know, big question probably). I'm presently reading Caputo's book, The Weakness of God, and really enjoying it.

Oh, and I can't wait to read the Renaissance article too. I love the Renaissance Humanists.
