Funny how it hits you when a beloved teacher dies. Almost unbidden, a passel of images, emotions, and memories of moments spent together remind you of the enduring impact that person’s words, deeds, and character had upon you. The effect of a good teacher endures well beyond the last day of class. And if that person spent 65 years teaching and writing, and, in this case, is regarded as one of the most influential Evangelical writers of the 20th century, you can be fairly certain that you are sharing that experience with thousands of people around the globe.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
