On my reply to Matthew Levering
As promised, I have written an article on the matter of Matthew Levering’s attack on my book Tradition and Apocalypse and had scheduled it to appear in Leaves on the Wind a few days from now, as my weekly posting; but the good folks at Public Orthodoxy have published it today for me, as a kind of advance screening. I shall re-post the article in time, out from behind the Substack paywall, just to make sure it is available in the permanent archives here; before then, however, I shall try to get something else ready for the coming week.
I'm quite glued to your work, but I have to admit I find the language frequently difficult. Your wording is fiercely accurate, precise, and intentional. I just don't usually have the words you casually use committed to memory. My education and obsession with video games as child have failed me.
Btw, I quite enjoyed your talks on Gospel Conversations in Australia that were posted to YouTube recently. It's good to know that there is beautiful theology out there, instead of the banal and childish drivel I hear from most American churchgoers.
Grew up RC, identified as vaguely Protestant for years (unaware of EO), left seminary feeling more RC. Discovered DBH, and I'm SO done with RC and P. Life's too short for Levering, Stump, Trads, et al. Freedom.
