Gluttony and the Fullness of God
Canto VI of Dante’s Inferno paints a sobering scene. Dante and Virgil have just arrived in the third ring of hell, where God punishes the sin of gluttony. An accursed rain — cold, foul, toxic — pours down on the circle. The eternal deluge turns the ground into a horizonless slough of stinking refuse. Dante beholds a mess of souls lying prone on the ground and drowning in this thick paste. Like great slugs, they can barely move beneath the weight of their sins’ consequences. Yet as heavy as they seem, they are insubstantial;

When the Word Became English
ABSTRACT: William Tyndale’s New Testament remains significant not just because of its inherent achievement and impact when it was first published in the sixteenth century. His work of translating the New Testament into English continues to shape English Bible readers and translation efforts in three spheres: translation theory, matters of diction and style for English Bible translations, and Bible literacy in English-speaking lands. Five hundred years later, English-speaking Christians have abundant reason to thank God for Tyndale.

Phone options for a teenager
Hi friends, I'm doing some research on my parents' behalf into a good phone to get for my sister. She is starting to drive and my parents would like her to have a phone with the ability to call, text, and use GPS. However, they would also like the phone to have very minimal / no internet access. If anyone has good phone options, experience in this search or good advice I would be glad to hear it. Thank you!

Did God Really Silence Women?
“Women should keep silent.” Case closed? Not quite. Other passages have women praying and prophesying. Maybe the problem isn’t Scripture’s consistency, but ours.
