Socrates Meets Kierkegaard - The Father of Philosophy Cross-Examines the Father of Christian Existentialism

Peter Kreeft

Summary

In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Søren Kierkegaard, the father of Christian existentialism and author of Philosophical Fragments, exploring imagination, truth, faith, love, and Jesus Christ.

Gwynne's masterful storytelling brings to life the flesh and blood people behind the historical figures, offering a sobering look at the realities of frontier life and the profound cost of progress.

The Art of Egyptian Papyrus -...

Omar Khalil

Papyrus, one of the most important inventions of ancient Egypt, was central to the development of writing and documentation in the ancient world. The history of papyrus dates back to the early dynastic periods of Egypt, around 3000 BCE, when the first examples of papyrus usage were recorded. This plant, which grew abundantly along the Nile River, was harvested for its stalks, which were then processed into sheets that served as a writing surface. The creation of papyrus revolutionized communication in the ancient world, providing a portable, durable, and practical alternative to other materials like stone or clay tablets.
The origins of papyrus as a writing material can be traced to the need for a flexible and lightweight medium that could be used for documentation, record-keeping, and artistic purposes. Ancient Egyptians discovered that the inner pith of the papyrus plant could be cut into strips and laid in a crisscross pattern, pressed together, and dried to form sheets. These sheets were then smoothed and polished, making them suitable for inscribing with hieroglyphs, hieratic script, or later, the demotic script. Over time, the process of papyrus production became more refined, and its use spread to neighboring regions, influencing other ancient civilizations.
Early uses of papyrus were predominantly for religious and administrative purposes. Royal decrees, religious texts, and tomb inscriptions were often written on papyrus scrolls. As Egyptian society advanced, the role of papyrus expanded to include personal letters, legal documents, and works of literature, cementing its place as the primary medium for writing in the ancient world. The papyrus scroll became the preferred format for long documents, with scrolls of varying lengths used to record everything from medical texts to astronomical observations.
