The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.

In these pages, you will be amused by the fallacy of Bertrand Russell’s chicken-and by game theorists’ analyses of the game of chicken. You will see how ...

David Crump, however, with the assistance of Søren Kierkegaard’s religious philosophy, claims that authentic understanding, and thus authentic Christian commitment, can only arise from the personal commitment that is faith. Examining the various biblical, historical, cult...
