Chartered Streets: May 2011

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Florence: the Architecture of a Renaissance. To live in Florence in the mid-fifteenth century was to be at the center of the world and the crossroads –or as it seemed to its inhabitants, the fount- of civilization. The narrow, medieval streets had given way to stately lanes wide enough to accommodate bustling cavalcades of merchants and tradesmen. All along the streets stretched shops upon shops. Rising above these were palazzos. For the Battistero of San Giovanni. Was likewise a p...

Chartered Streets: Rescuing Human Rights from Human Beings

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2012/05/rediscovering-human-rights.html

Thursday, May 3, 2012. Rescuing Human Rights from Human Beings. La Scapagliata," by Leonardo da Vinci, ca. 1500. The whole civilized world takes the notion of "human rights" for granted. Ask an American if he or she has rights and a doctor's hammer below the knee couldn't provoke such an instant and reflexive response. “Of course I have rights! 8221; (Why would you even ask? One would think this would be obvious to anyone who bothered to take the most cursory glance at the historical record. Even anc...

Chartered Streets: Sowing Wind and Reaping the Whirlwind

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2012/01/sowing-wind-and-reaping-whirlwind.html

Thursday, January 19, 2012. Sowing Wind and Reaping the Whirlwind. Snow Storm: Steamboat off a Harbour's Mouth,". By J M. W. Turner. 1842. I've lately begun noticing what the Bible doesn't. Say, and what was left unwritten impresses me just as much as what was put down. There's something smacking of divine inspiration when a man could write Romans 13 after suffering what he had at the hands of the Romans. Why not come right out and condemn things like the Roman Empire, emperor-worship or slavery? The EU&...

Chartered Streets: April 2011

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 29, 2011. Reserved to the States.". Unable to resist a Constitutional mandate, voters in the states could no longer decide for themselves. Before we rush into a legislative solution, let's remember that it was the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade that declared that the unborn were not human beings. Shouldn't it be the judicial branch, then, where it's resolved? Saturday, April 23, 2011. The Dream of the Rood. Side-by-side with such engravings as Mary Magdalene washing Christ's feet with her hai...

Chartered Streets: July 2011

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 24, 2011. Thomas Jefferson and Leading By Example. A perilously high national debt, burdensome taxes, corruption, political favors, extreme partisanship, a powerful executive branch, and a bitterly divided government. Does any of this sound familiar?

Chartered Streets: October 2011

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 20, 2011. The Language of Creation. Caspar David Friedrich in his Studio,". Georg Friedrich Kersting, 1819. The first major work in what was to be the long and brilliant career of German painter Caspar David Friedrich. The Cross on the Mountains. Drew its most vehement criticism, not from Deistic intellectuals, but from a most unlikely source: a fellow Christian. That Christian was the aptly named Basilius von Ramdohr. The Bible tells us that God can speak through donkeys, rocks, burnin...

Chartered Streets: March 2012

http://charteredstreets.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 30, 2012. The Myth of Self-Conscious Tyranny. Watercolor by William Blake, ca. 1795. And Caiaphas was in his own mind/A benefactor to mankind.". William Blake, "The Everlasting Gospel". But what do we know of the author of evil himself – of Satan? Wasn’t his name once “Lucifer” (which means “light-bearer”)? Wasn’t he the mightiest, most beautiful and most virtuous of the Almighty God’s angels? Wasn’t he presumably exalted above all the others for his righteousness? O Day Star, son of Dawn!
