First Things is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an all-retrospective issue, publishing a large number of "snapshots" and a few essays in full. Obviously, they've picked the best of their best, so it's been quite a fun read. Still, the standout is Alan Jacobs' review article, "On the Works of Kahlil Gibran," written in a derisive parody of The Prophet himself. It's a hoot, and it reminds me that while love often produces great literature, so can contempt.
All of which is a self-serving set-up for my next post. My hatred for The Bridges of Madison County enabled me, during my first year of seminary, to produce what I still think is my best apologetic writing yet.
