		<description><![CDATA[In Joseph Fitzmyer&#8217;s commentary on the Gospel of Luke, he jokingly notes at Luke 5: 10 &#8220;&#8230;henceforth you will be catching men,&#8221; that what fishermen do to fish that they pull up from the sea is &#8216;not salutary&#8217;.  This is indeed the point of the only other place I&#8217;m aware of (other than synoptic parallels) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since Stephen Hawking, whom as a scientist I much admire, is in the news lately for his assertion that the universe does not require a Creator, let&#8217;s tackle his argument, such as it is.
From the linked article, we have this quote:
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gain understanding from Your precepts, and so I hate false ways.
The root of the Hebrew word rendered here as &#8216;gain understanding&#8217; is bnh, to discern, understand.  This is a key wisdom word.  When Solomon responds to God&#8217;s offer to ask for anything he might want, he says, &#8220;Give Your servant therefore an understanding mind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you happen to be praying the liturgy in a Benedictine monastery today (as I have been), you have been celebrating the Feast of Pope St. Gregory the Great.  Elsewhere, in the Roman Rite, today&#8217;s observance is a &#8216;memorial&#8217;, making mention of Gregory to be sure, but without the Gloria at the Mass, the Te [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another exegetical example in Kahl&#8217;s last chapter is somewhat weaker than her observations regarding Paul&#8217;s anathema, but nevertheless I found both persuasive.  Her claim is that Paul is also using allusions to the Exodus to frame his argument.  These repeated allusions to normative Jewish categories reinforces the idea that Paul is teaching from within the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brigitte Kahl, in Galatians Re-Imagined, also does some intriguing textual work on Paul&#8217;s letter.  I would like to see more, but the book is already plenty long, and perhaps she or someone else will follow the implications of her study to their full conclusions in the interpretation of Galatians.  In any case, two points in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cassian and Evagrius both see the logismoi (tempting thoughts) as connected to each other, and as I mentioned last week, the division of thoughts into categories is not meant to suggest that we begin by defeating gluttony and then graduate to lust, and one by one work our way to holiness. Rather, these categories assist [...]]]></description>
